I know I havent updated anything lately.

It has been crazy.

Richard and Christianna are

fighitng as always

Diana's ear is hurting still and surgery

is 1 week from Thursday.

I am scared that she will have more problems

with her ears. I dont know. I really hope not.

Well tomorrow is my birthday and I get to spend it with the kids.

Not what I want to do but you know my hubby loves me.

He got me a net book for my birthday:)

I totally love it so far. It is amazing..

Its great.. It has everything I need and want on it.

I am still going to use my other laptop for

Corel and So forth.. I think that I will use this one for it too,

I just have to get corel and everything else on it.

Well I am off for the night.

I am going to take the kids the kids to the

fall festival here on post tomorrow..

Nite Nite

XOXO

I hate doctors here on post any more..

They suck. It took them 4 weeks to finally figure

out what is making Diana's ears as sore as they are.

The tissue around her tube in her ear is infected and

it is causing it to bleed.  She went to an ENT this morning.

She has more ear drops and a different Antibiotic

so hopefully this will clear the ear up enough.

She goes in for pre-Op on the 2nd of November

and then Surgery is Scheduled for November 5th.

I am not looking forward to this at all.

She has to have this tube removed and a new one put in

hopefully if its not stretched from the infection.

They are thinking that she has sugnifficant hearing loss

in her right ear, due to the fact that the doctors have

not been able to get this taken care of until now.

That pisses me off more than anything right at this point in time.

I am so pissed its not funny. I am not sure what else to do..

I will keep everyone updated as I know more that is going on with

Diana and the problem she is having with her ears..

I just want her better and back to normal.

XOXO

Once again I am struck with a Migraine..  I went to the Er this

morning and they gave me meds but I just wonder if they are going

to work.. My head is pounding.  Last night it hurt so bad that I cried

all night..  I am hoping tonight that I can sleep, but i am

not sure how well that is going to work.. It just hurts so

bad its not funny..

Well I am off to rest. More updates later :)

All of the kids are feeling 100% better.
Diana still has a cough, but I am sure that is her
ear infection draining  and clearing up. She
goes into the clinic on Friday to have her Ear Irrigated..
 That is going to be lots of fun with Richard and Christianna.

Tomorrow I have Parent/Teacher Conferences at both schools.
I am hoping to stop by and see Diana's Teacher so I can let her
know what Diana has not been in school.   Luckily they are all
going back to school Next Wednesday.  So that is going to be
a relief, I can get some things packed up and cleaned up.

Diana is feeling better.. No more fever, No more complaining.
 She is still on her antibiotics for a few more days.
She is back to her normal cheery self playing and singing.

Christianna is feeling better.  She just ate something
that didnt agree with her stomach yesterday.

Richard has a headache still but I am hoping that it will go away
after he gets some sleep..  I have sanitized the house today and
got a few more things to do tomorrow..

I need to get in gear and get a box in here and start packing up some things.
I think I will do that tomorrow and start in the dining room so I can get the book case cleaned off and in the garage.. I want to get rid of it but not sure what rick wants to do.

Well this week is going to be a long dull boring week.
Diana is still sick and not getting any better at this point in time.
Christianna has been complaining her stomach hurts and she is throwing up.
The stomach could be one of 2 things that she ate something that doesn't agree with her
or she is going to start her period soon.. YAY ME...
Richard has a migraine from hell and his stomach hurts. So most likely
Richard and Christianna will be home from school tomorrow..  
Not going to be fun especially with 3 sick kids.. 
I guess its going around..  But I am not sure what the hell is going on.
The kids tend to pickup things more easily..
They haven been near anyone that has been sick except Diana.
But that doesn't mean anything. They could have  picked something up from
school so that is one thing I have to look at as well.

Not to mention Thursday is parent teacher conferences at both schools for
both Richard and Christianna.. So I am not looking forward to that..
Luckily its like 10-15 minutes with each one so not to bad..
I am just not looking forward to taking all 3 kids especially if they
are still not feeling well..

I am hoping that Diana will start feeling better soon.
I need to catch up on some much needed sleep.

Well  I am off for the night. I am so tired at this point
it is not funny..

XOXO

OMG, I am so aggravated.  Last Night before I put Diana to bed

She was running a fever.  I give her tylenol and Mortin, hoping that

it would go down but of course it didnt.  Now this morning I get her up for

school and shes not doing any better. Her fever is 100.5 under the arm, so you

add a degree and that makes it 101.5. I am not happy. I call and Cant get her an appointment

they are book and have no provider. So okay as soon as Christianna gets on the bus she is going to the ER..   I just wish I knew what was causing the fever and everything else.. 

Well I am off to get her dress and me dress so, I can take her to the ER.

I will be back later with an update

I dont understand sometimes how people can say they know what another person is going through unless they have been through it them selves.  It's hard sometimes to know what it is like to loose someone very close to you unless you have been through it.  I know that loosing someone is hard no matter the circumstances but unless you have truly lost someone you cared for and loved you can't begin to understand any of the pain.   

Brings me to the point of loosing a close friend last deployment.   No, He wasnt family but he was a good friend as well as his wife.  They were family to us. Loosing someone close tears you apart. It is hard to deal with no matter who it is.   I know  that to this day both the Death of David and Bill is so hard on him.  I remember Rick telling me that he was just talking to Bill on the radio and we lost him shortly after that.  

Loss is a loss no matter who they are..  Bill has been gone for a year and it still bothers me to this day that I couldn't do more for his wife and girls. He was a friend to us all..  David has been gone since 2006 and is truly missed still..  They both touched so many lives and are always remembered no matter what journeys are ahead.  

What to learn from this and the loss of someone.

Never take life for granted. Live life to the fullest.
