Update on Cooper

Well we took Cooper to the audiologist yesterday and all they could really tell us is that his hearing is perfect. He did have soem fluid behind his ears but must have gone away. The right ear was still a little red but healing nicely. They told us if he has one more ear infection we are probably going to have to do tubes. Ely has had two sets so i am not to worried about it. Whatever I can do to make it better for him is what we will do.

Now onto Kyle, his hearing aide is starting to go bad on him. (NOT GOOD) He depends on that thing to help him hear. so we remembered that when he got that one he got help on the financing part of it. So we called his audiologist and they gave us the number to where we went before for the financing. He has an appointment at 2:00 on Monday in Huron. We should qualify for it with me not working right now and we have 2 kids instead of none. So there is a update on our lives.

Bad news for cooper

Well here it goes...About a month ago we have been noticing that Cooper has been talking so much louder than he normally does. I just figured oh its just him being a little boy and playing and such. He hasnt had any temps or anything so i didn't worry about it. Well today i finally brought him to the doctor to have his ears checked. He did end up having an ear infection. He had ear infections in both ears back in December. Now its only his left ear. They saw some fluid behind his ears so they want to get that checked out a little deeper. So tomarrow at 2:00pm I have to have him in Aberdeen for an Audiology appointment to check deeper into his ears and to have his hearing tested. They are talking about maybe putting in tubes which wouldnt be so bad. They always say that if they child has 2 or 3 ear infections within 6 months they would put tubes in. It has only been a little over a month. I do remember back in december when he had the ear infections his temp was very high and we couldnt get it to come down. So needless to say i am worried like a typical mother does. I was veyr impressed with the doctor that we saw today. I normally wouldnt see her but I couldnt get him in to see his regular doctor. Her name is Dr. Sylvia Anderson..(The best doctor i have seen for a long time) I will be changing primary care prviders now. She did a very thourough check on him. Im talking like top to bottom and in between. So when i get back from Aberdeen tomarrow i will give an update. Pray everything goes good.

Life is goood, kind of

Well as you have read on my sisters my mom fell and broke her ankle in three places. They always say, when it rains it pours. I would have to agree with that lately. My grandma is doing pretty good. She is going to be sore for awhile but doing good. Her liver looks good so that means the cancer didnt spread to there. Now we are awaiting the results to see if it got into her lymph nodes. Keep her in your prayers so that it didnt spread and everything will be good.

Sorry i havent been on here much, my loving sister got me addicted to facebook. She told me to get on there and of course i listened. I went and checked it out and then i made a profile and added pictures then before you know it i was having freinds find me and me finding my cousins and other friends and BAM! now i am stuck to it. Thanks Barb. Thats ok. I love it.

Things are going pretty good here. I have been having a little heart troubles which is weird because it only acted up when i was pregnent. Which I am not pregnent. I have a valve on my heart that doesnt close all the way so it pushes more blood thru then what is should at one time. Wheni am pregnant my heart has to work that much harder which makes my blood pressure crazy and my heartrate off the wall. I have been getting dizzy lately and i have been checking my blood pressure at home here and it has been running 130/92. So it is a little high on the bottom end. So i just keep checking it and if it gets bad enough i will have to go in and get it checked out again. So i am hoping it gets better soon. Take care you all.

A beautiful day

well today was such a goregoeus day. To bad it has to start getting cold again. We have gotten rid of a ton of snow. YAY! It is to bad that spring is so far away yet. I just happend to be be taking pictures of the boys after I got them ready to go play outside. It was such a nice day i could not have them all couped up in the house. So they ran around outside for a good four hours. Well every once and awhile Ely would have to come in and go " mom, mom i have to pee!" which of course he has to come in when it is almost to late. We have to get his coat off and snowpants down along with gloves before he can even attempt to pee. LOL! We did this i think around 5 times within those 4 hours. I was exhausted just having to dress him and undress him ever half hour. LOL. I just love this pic. It is just to cute not to share.

History was made

Today history was made. Our first black president was sworn into office at just after 11:00am this morning. It was a very special day for the United States of America. Just think 47 years ago blacks had it pretty tough. Slavery was still going on and now look. We have an African American running our country. How great is that to see how this country has changed so much. Lets all hope that he pulls thru and brings this country back and fixes the economy and helps out the schools along with helping out the people that have lost their homes. Jobs will hopefully be brought back so people will have income to help the economy along with saving their homes and everything else that we the people have all worked so hard for. Keep him and his family in your prayers so that Barack will do his best to help our free country.

We have a birthday boy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR KYLE
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

There you have it. Kyle turned the big 25 today. He is going to spend his special day ice fishing i guess. It is so windy out there today that i think i am just going to go over to our house and shampoo the carpets one more time before we move. I think the plan is to go get all of our stuff on the 31st. I am feeling a little better today after our terrible news about my grandma but all we can do is pray and hope that things get better.

Need help and prayers...and much much more

Well here is yet another tough road for my family. I just found out this morning that my grandmother has been diagnosed with colon cancer. We were all in very much shock. People always say that the Lord never gives you more than you can handle. Well to me it seems that he has. It just seems that things keep on piling up on my back and I am ready to just tip over. Money is always a factor, then my car accident, then i get my hours cut from work and now my grandma has cancer. I try my best everyday to keep everybody in good spirits and that everybody stays safe. So Please keep my grandma and my family in your prays that everything works out. They dont know if it has spread or not. She goes in for surgery on Thursday for a colon recestion so hopefully it hasnt spread to his liver. Thank you all so much for being there for me whenever I have been down in the dumps and upset. I love you all very much.

Update

The boys ar both doing very well. Here is my most recent picture of Ely, Cooper and their baby cousin Lilly Mae. She just turned four months old. So cute.

Yes i am very proud of my new house. We havent got to move in yet as you can tell but it sure does look nice. I thank my in-laws so much for getting this house so we can raise our boys in it. It is a very nice and and it a very pleasant town.

Job hunting

well i will be out again looking for jobs. I still have my job with Common Sense Mfg. but they are so slow right now that i am not getting enough hours to make ends meet so i am going to go out and look for something else along with sticking with Common Sense. I am going to apply wherever i can i guess just as long as we can make ends meet yet a little more. We have not moved into our house yet we keep finding things that we want to do to it which isnt so bad right now since this is happening to us with my hours getting cut. Crappy deal huh. Ya its good to be home with my boys but now days you just cant make it on one income. It is also very good for me to get away from them to give me a break and it relieves stress to. All you mom's know what i mean don't ya? LOL! It will all work out. "I hope!" Take care ya'll.

Looks

I want to ask you all a very important question. I have been thinking about it for about a week now and it bothers me a lot. Do I dress ok? I have been watching that show on TLC "Wnat not to wear" I have noticed that the people on there dress a lot like the way I do. I must look terrible. I would die to be on that show but ebarassed a long with it. I don't know. Just something to think about. Let me know your input.

Our Second Christmas

Well it has been a pretty good week so far. The boys are still being boys. Ely has been pretty naughty which is normally not typical for him. Copper is yes, still being Cooper. Arnry as ever and busy busy busy. It was a fairly nice week considering we still have snow so we will take what we can get. We had our second Christmas over New Years with the in-laws this so that was fun. More presents YAY! I got new bed sheets which are soooooo soft. I got this awesome oil candle wich is made out of wax with a plastic center for the oil. Totally awesome. The boys got more toys which is totally not cool. They have so many as it is. Ely and Cooper both got sleeping bags which they love. Ely got a camoflauge one and Cooper got a spongebob one. They got to sleep in them last night and Cooper thought that was just the coolest thing ever. Ely called it his own little sleepover but with my brother mommy. LOL! Funny little boy. Ely starts school again on Tuesday. He has been home long enough for Christmas break. Actually mommy is getting exhausted. I have been doing pretty good pain wise lately with my shoulder but there is good days and bad days. It will get better in time. I am pretty much done seeing the doctor now i have to go back one last time on the 29th of January just so that he can see if it is healing correctly. Which it is lol. I just need to build up my strength in it. Well better end it on that note. I keep you all in my prayers and love you all.
