update on life

So Rhett's bruise is healing which is great!!! But he wants to push himself and so it might come back, who knows. He is doing better but acting very weird, like he doesn't want to take it easy he wants to walk around pushing his wheelchair. LOL!! He did that at the Festival of Trees for quite a while while Gavin was taking a ride in it. But than as we were headed home he keep laying down like he was just so tired that he couldn't keep it up anymore. He was the first one asleep also, so I am guessing that he over did more than he knows.

As Rhett is getting better Dylan has this horrible ear infection and it is really bad to the point that he is on ear drops and oral antibiotics. Apparently he has a big tear in his ear drum and he is really sore. They said that if it still discharging by Monday they will need a sample of it since it has been leaking black stuff and smells horrible. So I think it is worst than anyone knows. The doctor might want us to see the ENT sooner than we want but I could be wrong. He has had an ear infection since October when he knocked out his tube and tore his ear drum. This has got to be one of the longest ear infections that I have ever had to deal with. I sure hope he gets over it soon.

We went to the Festival of Trees and it was great! We went on the Trax train that we normally do that and the kids LOVED IT!!! They were running all over just trying to explore. Nikole and Gavin told us that they would walk through the whole thing and of course they didn't. LOL! We saw some very beautiful trees, wreaths, gingerbread houses, and even quilts this year. This is a tradition that we always do. :) Which is something that they look forward to all the time. I normally do a tree but this is the first year that I was not able to. So it was wonderful for me to be able to go with my family down there and see all the wonderful things that were donated for Primary Children's Medical Center.

This air quality is HORRIBLE!!!! Rhett and Dylan cannot go outside since it is really bad. I have heard that during the inversions here it is the worst air in the nation. That really sucks to have restrictive lung disease and have ot live here and try really hard not to breathe the air. LOL! I can just see them holding their breath and every one else that has lung problems doing the same thing. That is just a funny sight in my head. :)

Nikole has been a very big helper lately and it makes me wonder what she wants. :) It is nice having her help. There was a very normal sibling issue when Nikole was fighting with Rhett and Gavin and as she told me all that had happened she had a melt down and was crying that so hard that I couldn't even understand her. I was happy to see that she felt horrible. They all made up with in 20 minutes, with hugs and playing. She does get along with all of her brothers most of the time.

First thing in the morning Gavin asks how he can earn game time. LOL! That is before he gets breakfast, gets dressed, and before even going the bathroom. :) As long as he wants to play games I guess that is better than somethings that it could be. But he is great at helping and doing what needs to be done in order to be able to play the games that he wants to play. He was really upset that he didn't do all his homework before Thursday so that he could play games earlier during the week. There is always next week.

Love my kids! They are very smart, outgoing, and mine!
