Yea Dylan!!!
Yea!! Dylan and Rhett both had their CT scans done last night and neither one of them needed to be sedated! I called to find out if they knew Dylan had a small airway and more medical issues and they said that they didn't know and he was scheduled for a sedated CT scan, but then they were wondering if he needed to be under GA for that. Oh the day waiting for phone calls. I finally found out that they would have to have him under GA in order to be sedated, but they did offer for me to bring him up last night to see if he could get it done with out sedating him. I was like ok... Lets do it and see how he does instead of waiting until next week. So we went to PCMC and I took Rhett and Dylan in for their CTs and the other kids went with daddy. Rhett was done in less than 5 minutes and they brought Dylan back and then they did him and it worked!!! :) So very happy!!! Thankfully he didn't need to be sedated and held really still for his CT. He was nervous but he did awesome!! So proud of him!!!

The things I do...
Wow can you a little insane? Dylan was sick all last week and so by the time the weekend came I wasn't feeling very good so I got some much needed rest on Sunday and then today was great! I wasn't able to get everything I needed done around her done but I am working on it taking steps in the right direction. But in my head it isn't fast enough and I need to run in the right direction. Holy cow tomorrow had better be a ton better and I am going to kick butt tomorrow and step it into high gear. I am way irritated at something that happened to me Sunday and I am going to show them!!! I can't go into details here and now but wow when you expect support and you get kicked while you are down is just wrong and mean!
Dylan is doing great recovering from the virus that he had. The kids are still not going to bed when I tell them so they are usually up until 10 or later just because all of a sudden they wanted to play. Get that... they can play all day but no they wait until bed time! And people wonder why I don't get any sleep. I am going to be up and running tomorrow getting things done and it is going to rock!!! I have my things to do list and I am determined to do it all, ever single thing on my list of crazy. Wah ha ha ha ha!!!
I guess I should post some pictures tomorrow it has been a while and everyone except me have changed in looks. Well that is what I hear but maybe someone is seeing things that I cannot see living in the same house as the rest of us. Been a day headed to bed!

No happening!
We are so not going to be going out a lot or even often. I just heard that RSV is on the rise and that can only mean bad things for my kids. I am going to have to teach my older kids to keep washing their hand and making sure they don't get it and give it to Dylan. He did how ever did get his synagis yesterday so that is good and hopefully it will help him not get it.
I have talked to Nikole about her baptism and she has agreed to wait until May to be baptized. She said that she wasn't feeling very good and I let her know that she should feel healthy and Dylan was getting sick and now daddy is sick and to get healthy in less than 2 weeks just doesn't look good. Because we are going to have to make sure the house is all clean also. She agreed that she wanted to be healthy and she wanted everyone else to be healthy too. It has been a struggle with her listening so we are working on that.
Rhett's energy level is so low it is not even funny. I took him to U-fit last night and we were even 30 minutes late. I asked his volunteer how he did and he said great but I also asked how his energy was and he could tell that even with the little activity that they did he was struggling at the end of the program. I wonder what is going to happen to him. All he really did was throw a few balls that were made of yarn I think and took a walk and then that is it. WOW! Not a lot of exercise huh? How can he be so worn out? He even feel asleep in the car on the way home. We will have to see how these Fridays pan out with U-fit and his energy level. I will have to keep you posted on that one.
Gavin had a hole bunch of fun at U-fit. It was great to have someone work with him and play with him. He was the first in bed asleep when we got home. He even put himself to bed which I think is totally awesome!!! We will see how he does tomorrow. Hope he can get along with all his siblings tomorrow since they are going to be with each other all day tomorrow. :)
I guess I better catch some sleep hoping and praying that Dylan doesn't have any throwing up issues tonight.

Oh joys!!
What is up with people that go out among others when they are sick? We are going onto our second day of throwing up and we haven't been around anyone that was sick that we know of. Poor Dylan I feel at a loss to help him and I am praying that he doesn't aspirate any of this vomit or we might end up at PCMC. That would really suck! I am going to be checking his sats later this morning and he might end up on oxygen again. He is suffering just because he is sick and he is the only one that is sick in our house and that is way I think that he was exposed to this illness from someone other than family.
Mr. Rhett is up and dressed and heck it is only 3 am! I have been telling him to go to bed for over an hour now and he is refusing. Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!! How frustrating! Doesn't he understand that he needs sleep to help his body grow and keep himself healthy? I pray that he doesn't get sick from not sleeping well. I guess he will have to keep taking his vitamins and hopefully he can avoid getting sick.
Nikole is such a sweetheart that needs to listen better. Like any 8 year old... She is doing well and that I am truly grateful that she is doing so well that just means that I don't have to worry too much. But I know as soon as I let my guard down it is all going to go downhill.
Gavin is really struggling and I have no clue how to help him. I was told just yesterday that he hit someone in his class and they have a zero tolerance for that. I understand but I also know that he learned that bad behavior from going to class. Since when he start school when he would get really mad he would clench his fists and hold them next to his body so he wouldn't hit anyone but of course there was a child or 2 that would pick on him and would hit him the beginning of the school year and it has just gotten worse over the space of a few months. Now I have got to find a way to help him understand that hitting is bad no matter what the other person did so that way he can get the help he needs from school. He really needs to go to school and has been talking to the school councilor seeing if she can help him. I wish I knew what to do to help him deal with all the stress that he is keeping inside of him that he is not letting go of. He is my sweet little boy who has always been good but really needs to find his place and he is having such a hard time. I love him so much and this is hurting me so much to see him like this.

Yeah yeah
Ok so I know it has been a little while but things have just been way crazy and it is only the beginning. I can't remember much since I have had so much drama from the kids that I can't get it all straight but heck I will try.
We will start with Dylan. Such a cutie and loves giving kisses. If I tell him no he throws things and is huge into fits. Then he will hit me and kick me. He is only about 29 inches tall maybe if I remember right, but like I said memory is suffering for the stress.So grateful that he till takes naps. Been thinking of putting up the toddler bed but I need to fix it first. He has got such a great attention span that I can have all the kids involved in a project and he will sit there almost as long as the other kids. I am amazed.
On to Gavin... Where do I start? Between the stress he has with Rhett and Nikole at home and then the stress he causes at school. He has been having some major things going on in his mind to the point that it is causing such grief for his teachers. The school counselor is talking with him trying to get all the anger that we are not sure why he has out. I have been working with him at home and between the teachers and the staff at the school. We need to help him but we are still trying to figure out how.
Nikole is super smart and her teacher has told us so. We had her parent teacher conferences and they went GREAT!! The teacher said the only thing that she needs to work on is listening and following directions and then following through. She needs to complete her work nicely and on time. She is doing great other than that. I am very happy that she is doing so well. I just hope that she improves since there is always ways for improvement.
Rhett is giving me such attitude that I want to scream some times. He has been working on a science project with the help on Ms. Monson. Very grateful!! She has helped explain things to Rhett that I cannot remember. He is doing well health wise I think but he hates his by-pap, and doesn't wear it. He did get sick with something I need to remember what though. He was throwing up Friday morning so had to miss the party at school but is feeling better now. Hope no one else gets it. Hope things improve with him at school. They do try and that is great, but he gets so distracted that it makes it very hard for all those involved.
Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's day!!!

Positive thinking is the key!
Well a lot has happened since the last post. Nikole turned 8 on Sunday the 24th! She is really looking forward to being baptized. She is such a cutie! I actually went on a date for the first time in a long time on my birthday. I even got flowers! I know can you believe it... Soon after that I was planning a trip if I could wing it to go to Miami for World Conference from the 27th to the 31st. I was able to wing it and I went with Dylan at last minute to Miami and I learned so much while I was there and I am going to apply everything I learned. I flew back on the 31st and man I was so tired. LOL I guess that is what I get traveling with a baby. I was so happy to see my family. I missed them lots and I know they missed me by all the messages that they left for me through out the day as it was when I couldn't answer my phone. Things are going to be on a tight schedule for me so I can get things done that I need to do. The day I got back Rhett was telling us that his shoulder hurt and so I gave him some Tylenol and he told me after school on Monday that it didn't help. So then he was telling me that he was tired and I was like ok if you are tired go lay down. So he went and laid down and when daddy came home he woke up and decided to get dressed for bed and when he was doing that I caught a glimpse of his back and found out that his incision is infected! What the heck! I just want to scream since we think that it came from the hole that the doctor left in his back since April. I have told the doctors about it and showed them also but they told me that it was going to heal and everything will be fine, Dumb doctors! YEAH RIGHT! Seriously when a mother says that there is something wrong LISTEN!!!!! I took pictures but I am not sure if I should post them just yet. Rhett is so not going to school tomorrow and I will be taking him to the doctors first thing in the morning. Oh well so much for trying to get things not as crazy as they were. Even though he is going to be in the hospital that do not mean I am not going to do anything. I am going to work harder than ever to do what I need to do. I will have to update again soon but I am getting tired and I need to sleep so I can do what I need to do to help my family.
