Madison has given me a few scares this past week, falling, fevers…. Well last night she gave her dad a scare too. Last night J and I were watching TV, all the kids were sleeping, about 11pm Madison got out of bed and fell to the ground crying. I asked her if she fell out of bed, she didn’t, I knew she didn’t. She was holding her head, telling me her head hurt. J and I decided that it was a good idea to get an MRI just so we can make sure everything is like it should be, to make sure that Madison’s cancer is not back – falling and headaches are not warning signs that should be ignored. It’s really hard to think that is a possibility. It really sucks to have to think about it. Today Madison had an appointment with Dr M (ped). She did a neruo check up. Madison did good, she followed directions, jumped on one foot… Dr M said that Madison did ok, nothing alarming, but that she was not up to speed with where other kids here age would be in some of the coordination tests. So she clumsy, not a huge surprise (right mom). And after a few hours of approval issues, Madison is scheduled for an MRI tomorrow morning at 9am. It is a STAT order so we should have the results sometime tomorrow. So tonight she is eating Wendy’s with her brothers – her request, she will relax, watch iCarly, and off to bed for a early morning tomorrow. I’ll keep you updated.

Prayers, positive thoughts, (however you want to put it) are always welcome.

Happy Birhtday Zac

yesterday was Zachary's birhtday, 12 years old now. Happy Birhtday Zac. So for his birthday, J and I gave him and Austin cell phones. (Zac will get the same thing Austin gets for his birthday too, lucky boys get to celebrate twice). Both the boys are thrilled and, as most of you know, have been calling and texting everyone all night last night and all day today. They are 2 very happy boys.
Madison on the other hand is very upset. She wants a phone too. We've tried to explain that she is only 4 and that she will just have to wait. But like I said we've tried... it's not really working and she is still mad. She says she never gets anything... ever. To continue to prove her point, I took the boys to Target today to pick up a couple things for school. One of them, a lock for their PE lockers. And the mean mom that I am would not let Madison get one too. (in my defense, i think she would hurt herself with it and am just trying to protect her). So not only is she mad that she doesn't get a phone, but now she can't have a lock. She is so deprived. (not really, I told her she could pick out a toy. She didn't want one, she wanted a cell phone and a lock.)
So other then that, school starts a week from Monday. J starts his new job the same day. It will take some getting used to but it will be a good thing once we get our schedules down. I have started shopping for my Christmas book, that has been a lot of fun. I have a ton of ideas, and with J's new schedule I will have some free nights to start getting things together.
well that is all for now, I'm slacking on updating pictures. Actually I am slacking on taking pictures. It's too hot to go outside and I'm almost never happy with the ones taken inside. I will work on it.
