Aly (difficult child) is doing really well. She spent the weekend at "Auntie's" house and got to ride her precious horse (not really hers, but she sure does love her). Aly always comes home from there centered/grounded, however you want to put it. She is in a really good place.
Got an abreviated version of Jayme's Echocardiogram results: Normal. But pediatrician wants to see her next Monday to look into what to do next. She is still having blue lips and lots of other stuff pediatrician wants to keep a close eye on. pediatrician mentioned possibly putting Jayme on a 24 hour monitor, a halter monitor I think it is called. This will record her oxygen levels as well as heart rhythms, etc. I cannot imagine a 3 yo keeping the sticky pad thingys on for 24 hours!! She is still showing some minor signs of Autism, but if so, very high functioning. pediatrician mentioned a possible referral to the M.I.N.D. Institute or back to Shriners. We shall see.
As far as husband and I go, things are going better. We are communicating better and are much happier with each other. We just got recertified to be foster parents, just waiting for our first phone call. This agency offers so much more support than the idiots we were working with before. We will be taking ages 0-8. We spent the weekend reorganizing the spare room, moving all my craft/card making stuff to the laundry room where I have wanted it all along. Got a used set of bunk beds for dirt cheap and they are really cool. We have them set up as separate twin beds and they have end units that are also desks, hard to explain but they are awesome. Now Aly is whining that she wants that room! LOL!!
I am on a mission to lose enough weight to fit into these awesome jean shorts I bought, 2 sizes smaller than my usual size. And...I am nearly there! I was able to pull them on today, but buttoning them was NOT happening, LOL! But just knowing they are in there and the weather is warm and I REALLY want to fit into them helps me stick to my diet/exercise program. I am no skinny minny, and never will be again, but if I can look and feel good about what I am wearing, I will be thrilled! Doesn't help to have a hubby that can eat anything and not gain an ounce! Errrr! LOL!
So, just an update on our family. How are all of yours doing?
Hugs,
