Blah, blah!

I thought I would update everyone with whats been going on in my exciting life. I've been feeling pretty blah lately. I went to my doctor last Thursday and she thinks some of my symptoms are new allergies. She gave me some samples and they seem to be helping a little. She also took a bunch of blood work to check my thyroid and everything else. My neck has been really sore and it will go numb from time to time. I've also had some vertigo off and on for the past few weeks. I just called to check on my bloodwork but it wasn't back yet. I'll update once it is.

We discoved last Friday that Austin has Tourette's Syndrome most likely caused by his ADHD meds. We stopped that med for 4 days then started another one yesterday. Those were four very long days!! We made it through and his tics seem to be under control for now along with his energy. He decided that karate wasn't for him so for now he's just working extra hard on his schooling. He loves music so maybe he will try that next?

Luke is crazy!! He's doing well in school and loves the Cub Scouts. He has decided that he wants to be a star quarterback in the NFL and drive NASCAR on the side. He is totally addicted to our Wii too. We use it as a way to get him to behave better. He's a really sore looser, so were working on that.

Nana is the ultimate drama queen, and she really does keep me on my toes. She's having so much fun with her dance class and preparing for the big rectial in June. All the Dad's are going to be in the rectial too. I'm starting the process to get her in pre-k this fall. She's pretty excited about being a big girl and going to school. All four year olds can attend pre-k for free here in Florida. This Bill just past a few years ago so she's the first to get to take advantage of it.

Most of you know that my passion in life is helping families dealing with pediatric cancer and finding a cure. I have quite a few kids that I have been following through the years through Caringbridge. Some of them are doing awesome now, some have relapsed, and some have died. I found out recently that one of my best friends growing up has a daughter that has heptoblastoma (liver cancer). Alivia is doing well after chemo and surgery to remove 75% of her liver and the tumor. All of this and she is only a baby. This has really hit close to home and I'm more determined than ever to help. So I encourage each one of to do something to help.
