Ok, this didn't put them in the right order. YOu have to go to the last picture and scroll up to get the full effect. This was hysterical to see him balancing on the edge of the bowl. He still is mystified by the fish in the bowl
then he thought if he just climbed in with him he could get him.
He thought he could just stick his head in and get him
this is Ashton discovering the fish for the first time

David
I finally have some pictures of my favorite baby boy.....not so much a baby anymore. He will be 14 in a couple of weeks. I can't believe it. We are still waiting for that first growth spurt and I think he is going to be huge. Enjoy the pictures and I will try and be better at writing on my blog

Opps, sorry posted that last one before I wrote anything.
I am off today. Not because I want to but because we have no cases today. :( I could have gone into work and sat there and twiddled my thumbs for 8 hours, but didn't really want to do that. It is a bummer because I worked 5 hours of overtime on Monday to make a little extra money and now that won't even count because it will just count as part of my regular hours so I don't have to take as much PTO. We are getting busier so hopefully this will not happen too much but it doesn't seem fair to have to use your vacation time because the doctors don't have any cases to do because they have something else to do.
Oh, well, I am posting some graduation pictures of Brittany that she e-mailed me. Hopefully they will come out good enought
I have a follow up doctors appointment today with the GI doctor. So, I will see what he has to say. I don't see the endocrinologist until June 4th, which I plan to mention to the doctor today that it seems a little rediculous to not have a post hospitalization follow up appointment for 2 months after you were admitted. I do not like this doctor at all and will not stay with him once I have all my information that I need.
My blood sugar seems to be doing ok right now, but this is the pattern that is takes. It is fine for a long time and then I go through a few weeks time where it keeps going low no matter what I do. Then it miraculously gets better and behaves itself again for a while, sometimes for months. So, I don't know how to explain it. I don't do anything different that would make it change so I don't know the answer. I guess I just have to learn to live with it.

Hey guys, Not much going on.
David has been sick. He has not been feeling well for about a month. He has had a headache almost every day and medicine has not been helping. The last couple of weeks he has quit eating except for a few bites and he has been sleeping ALL the time. Like he comes home from school and goes to sleep, sometimes for the night, or he will wake up after a few hours and then go right back to bed. No he doesn't have swine flu. :) we took him to the doctor today. They are doing a head CT tomorrow and a Sinus CT just to be sure there is nothing serious going on. Just what we need right now. I just got the bill for my hospital stay. It was $25,000 dollars. Thankfully, we don't owe that much but still.
Darren got two rejections letters this week. He is pretty down about it. He has one more thing in the works and if that doesn't pan out he will have to start all over again applying places. This is the last one that he has already been working on that he hasn't heard from.
I am feeling better, for the moment. I look much better since my blood transfusion. I am not nearly so pale. I didn't realize how pale I actually looked until now when I see my color now.
Work is going fine for me. Our insurance will change over tomorrow to Clarian. That will be a pain I'm sure because I am so use to now knowing where I am allowed to go and have things done and now I will have to figure all of that out again.
anyway, I will call you on Saturday. I am planning on sleeping in though so don't expect an early call. :)
talk soon
Love you
Kris

gooe morning
Hey guys, I will try and call you in a little bit and fill you in on the week. We are getting ready to leave for Fort Wayne. We are going to walk in the walk athon for Habitate for Steve. I will try and call you on the way....Kagan is driving so it depends on how she is doing. :)
Kagan made Varsity cheer again. I know you are probably saying...well Duh, of course, but it was kind of touch and go there for a bit. I will explain when I talk to you.

Hello, What is up today? I am at work and someone in registration is sick, so they pulled me to work resistration today. I was supposed to float in endoscopy so I was kind of an extra person. I am ok with that because today we have the surveyors here doing our inspections and they tend to go around and ask arbitrary questions to people and now I wont have to deal with that.
I talked to my doctor last night. He called me at 9:15 in response to my fax that I sent both doctors. At first he was kind of nasty and said he was really put out by what I wrote. After I explained to him why I was feeling the way I was he kind of calmed down a little and we were able to talk about what the plan is. We were on the phone for about a half an hour.
He said that he did not feel that i needed the CT scan at this time because we had just done one. He said depending on what the EUS I have scheduled on Friday shows he will decide if we will do another CT scan.
He did say that doing the EUS is difficult on patients with bariatric surgery but he feels that if they can do it and see what they need to see it will give them some information.
I discussed with him my concerns about my hospital stay and he, of course, had an explanation for everything that they did or didn't do in a timely manner. Probably something I am not going to get any satisfaction on, so will probably just drop that issue.
He explained that the growth hormone blood test is not something that is urgent that something showed up in my blood work that was abnormal and my endocrinologist wants to double check it. I explained that the doctor never told me any of this and that is why I was so confused about the plan. I still have not gotten a call back from that doctors office to answer those questions.
they don't believe that I have an insulinoma but are still looking into the nisidiosblastosis thingy. I have consulted with a dietician at his request to see if she can help me plan my food with less carbs. Gosh to have to take something else out of what I am allowed to eat will be painful. I am already so limited now.
The medicine that they gave me to take to keep my blood sugar up may or may not be working. I haven't dropped really low for a couple of weeks, but still drift down after I eat and am having symptoms. so don't know what to make of that.
So, I am having this EUS done on Friday and we will see from there what the plan is.
The doctor does understand now that I am concerned about getting things done because my insurance will have to change soon and he understands that Darren is not working and I can't afford to do a bunch of expensive unnessecary medical tests.
I did make it clear to him that as a patient, I did not expect to be made to feel like I was being a pain just because I was asking a lot of questions, that if as a nurse, I still had a lot of questions and didn't understand than he was letting the ball down on his side because i was not an idiot.
I will keep you posted. I will call you on Sat. and let you know how the procedure goes. Starting next week, I will not have Wednesday off anymore. I am going to start working 5 8 hour days so that I can work a full 40 hour week and not just 36. They are going to allow me to do that until Darren is working agian. I hate to give up my day off, but it doesn't make sense for me to not be working 40 hours a week when he is off. It makes about a $200 difference in my paycheck

These are some pictures that Kagan did. Sorry, there is one double. She takes these pictures all by herself through the mirror and then edits them on the computer and puts captions to them. She is really very talented at it. She is actually going to take a photography class next year at school. Maybe she will find some interest in this and do something with that instead of being a teacher. :)
Hello all, check out my new videos of Kagan. She is getting ready for cheer tryouts this next week on tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. There is a new coach this year so even though she cheered varsity this year, there is no guarentee that she will this year. She has to really "bring it" to make it.
She has her tumbling perfected.....without her shoes on. Now she has to get up the nerve to try it with shoes. :)

April 15 2009
Today is Wednesday. I had the day off. I am frustrated with my doctors because no one seems to know what the other one is doing. They want me to have all of these tests done but no one wants to be responsible for ordering them. I am spending all of my time trying to arrange things that thier office should be doing. Then they tell me they will schedule things and call me back without asking me when I can do them. As if I can just be off work whenever it is convienent for them.
I am going to try and put some pictures on here but not sure if I can figure it out or not.
going back to work tomorrow. Wish I could stay home all the time.
Blood sugars are still crazy today. Picked up my medication to the tune of $125 my cost. Hope it works.
