I SUCK at this blogging thing nowadays! Mercy, the last time I wrote was 6 months ago!
Let's see, Isaiah got the brackets put on his teeth like a trooper and goes to see Dr. Gill once a month while we wait and see how his teeth straighten out. He's in the fourth grade now and has already gotten star roll this year, been inducted into the National Elementary Honor Society and had a pizza party for being an awesome, upstanding student.
Sammy didn't get into WCS pre-k at first so we enrolled him in the WeeTeach Academy's pre-k (aka the blue school). His teachers were awesome and the school was great. The only problem was the director wasn't truthful with me, so when a spot opened up at Isaiah's school, we jumped for it. His teacher's at Gilbert (aka the crocodile school) are great too. And I'm glad he is at the same school as Isaiah. He's doing well, except he "can't keep his hands to himself." We have a 504 plan for him, so his diet is taken care of and we generally don't have to worry about him having something he shouldn't.
My dad has dealt with some serious sickness in the last few months and has had 4 surgeries on his foot. He's lost a good 30-40 lbs and his insulin has dropped some too. He still has to have a double bypass surgery when he is done healing from the foot surgery.
Kenny went to China in October, for 2 weeks. THAT was a pretty horrendous time. But we survived it :)
I am on the last month of my 6 month medically supervised insurance required diet. It's been rough. Since I was referred back in February I have had additional diagnoses. In addition to obesity and Hypothyroidism; I have Sleep Apnea, Hypertension, High Cholesterol and Hypoglycemia. I'm on 5 medications. As soon as I see Dr. Wilson in December, I will fax my forms to the surgeon, plan one more visit with them and then it's the waiting game to see when surgery is. I had my nutrition class and mental health eval. <-- that was pure hell. Ohmygoodness, I relived everything that has ever happened to me, good or horrible. Whew. glad it's over.
I guess that sums it all up, maybe I can get better about coming here and writing :)
