Grandma's Appt with Oncologist

I found this cute picture of Grandma and Jaicee from 2005. Grandma had her appointment with the Oncologist. He is very encouraging. She is scheduled for a PET scan next Monday which will let them know exactly where all of the cancer is. They believe she is Stage IV, but are still hopeful. She will have to have chemo but not sure of all the details until the PET scan comes back. I talked to her today and she was in good spirits. I'm hoping we can get over there to see her very soon.

Monday Madness

Sunday we spent the day in the backyard in the redneck swimming pool. Matt's mom was here for a little while and left about 3. Holly & Curtis came over and we made chicken and macncheese. The guys had a little too much too drink... but thats okay cause it was their day. We recorded a lot on the video but didn't take a lot of pictures.

Our garden has really sprouted. We have probably got about 20 cucumbers out of there and four tomatoes. Our tomatoe plants really took a beating in the storm though.

Speaking of storm... The adjustor came out Friday to do an estimate on the damage so hopefuly we can get our roof fixed soon!

I'm in Labor and Delivery tomorrow and nursery on Wed. Thursday we are going on a Field Trip to the jail in Bridgeport.

No cheer for two weeks :(

I took this picture last night

So, Jaicee got this brush stuck in her hair... Took me about 20 minutes to get out. I got a 94 on my test on Monday. Stephen's swine test came back negative. Brian's clogged tear duct went away... its been a good week.

Tuesday after cheer practice I was getting Jaicee out of the car and she felt extremely warm. I took her inside and was taking her temp when I found a tick on her. Her fever was 102.something. I called Holly and Curtis to watch the boys and took Jaicee in the the Pediatric Urgent Care Center. They removed the tick and started her on the same antibiotic that they give people before they go to Africa to prevent Malaria.

So, it has been an eventful week. Matt's mom and neice are coming down to go to the Jonas Brothers Concert and staying the night here. I bought Jaicee Miley Cyrus tickets last night. But, its not until October.

Been a while...

Last weekend we bought the kids a blow up pool and let them play in it all day Saturday. Sunday we layed around the house. I had my orientation for my new clinical site on Wed.

Last night Stephen started running a fever. So, first thing this morning I took him in to the Pediatrician. They did a flu swap on him which came back positive. It is the strand of Flu that they have to send off to the CDC for testing to make sure it is not Swine Flu.

Matt and Jaicee went to Oklahoma. I took Brian to my mom's house. Stephen and I are here alone. He is really enjoying having mom all to himself.

Back to School

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. We haven't been busy at all, so that's not my excuse. We stayed home this weekend (really needed that). We cooked out on the grill both days. I started back to school on Monday. We have to check off on our skills and take a math test that we have to make a 100 on. I passed everything so I don't have to go to school tomorrrow (yay). Jaicee had cheer today. Grandma came HOME today. I haven't talked to her yet but I plan on calling her soon. I'm sure she is SO glad to be home. Brian is teething like crazy but no tooth coming through yet. Thats about it in the world of Manhards...

Brian's Well Visit

Brian weighed in at 18lbs 10oz. Length was 28 and head was 17. So, he is a big big boy. I thought he weighed more than that, but I guess not. She said he just looks heavier because he has so many rolls. Other than that he is doing great. He got two shots and the rota virus vaccine that you drink by mouth.
