Sick , Sick, and Sick

I have debated about blogging about crappy happenings in my life, but I have decided that it may help me remember when its all over how greatful I am for Life!! So it all began about 8 months ago when I was diagnosed with an infection known as C-Diff(normally from hospital or nursing home stay or antibiotics) since I hadn't been in hospital, I figured it must have been from the ear infection I had that was treated with antibiotics. So went to the Dr. and was put on a heavy antibiotic( i know weird) but that is how it is treated. The infection went away.. so I thought! It wasnt until the begininning of May that I started to feel the same symptoms all over again. I waited for about 2 weeks because the symptoms are stomach ache, diaherria, and I just kept thinking it would get better , but unfortunatly it continued to get worse. So I broke down and went to the Dr. and yes again I was put on Antibiotics.. 2 days later I was getting even worse and called the Dr. they wanted to swich my meds to a different antibiotic, which is the last choice before hospitalization and that it is very Expensive. So began taking meds but kept having same symptoms and getting dehydrated and just did not feel well. Went through testing and ended up in the hospital on May 23, they treated me with IV antibiotics along with oral and many other medications, I was there for 6 long days until the Drs thought there was not much more to do... since then I have been on the same Antibiotics and back and forth to many Dr appointments and Lab testing.. but the answer is always stay on medication.. I have been lucky and have short term disability through work and so I have been able to be home which is the only way I have survived what I have! Last week I was able to convince the Dr to do a Colonoscopy to maybe find out some answers , I am currently waiting on Test Results.. they said it could take up to 2 weeks. I am so greatful for great family and friends that have helped me out in this struggle and hope to find answers out soon!

Hamster Headaches

If any of you have followed my Facebook, you will know that we have had a month of headaches with Hamsters!!! We started of with 2 hamsters and within the first few days one of them got out of the cage.. we looked everywhere but could not find it .. so Daddy went and bought a new one ... once we had the new one home we found the Other ..so that makes 3!! Well we seem to have a problem with keeping them in their cages so within another few days 2 got out and unfortunatly our Nice Family Cat thought they were mice .. so we all know the outcome of that! Thats when Daddy comes to the rescue again with another new one .. so Now we are back to 2! We have another break out , but this time both are safe and we think we are all good .. when one becomes sick and passes away.. so long story short ...we have 1 now that has made it through all the drama and this Mean Mom says .... Hamsters are not for us!!!!

Mommy and Girls Weekend

So just a few pictures to recap a very fun and much needed weekend away!! I took the girls away for the weekend and we just "Chilled" .. we ate pizza , watched movies, swam in the pool , enjoyed breakfast buffets, bought munchies, jumped on the bed, wrote our Valentine cards, played store at the desk in the room, went to the mall , got new outfits, went to Build-A-Bear, ate Chinese, jumped on the bed somemore, wore jammies a lot of the time, ran down the hallways at the hotel, loved riding from the 6th floor down, drank hot chocolate(open 24hrs)not a good thing, played on the computers, gave loves, snuggled, and just had an all around Good Time!!

Build -A- Bear

Since Kaitlyn was little, and everytime that we have walked past the store at the mall .. the girls have wanted to make an animal at Build-A-Bear! Well I took this past weekend to make their dreams come true. We went away for a weekend getaway and when we woke up the next morning we got ready and went to the mall! We got to the door and Haylee could hardly control herself.. they ran in and Haylee went straight to a Pink Puppy ..picked it up and said this is what I want her name is "Rosie" I was like ok.. than a few minutes later Kaitlyn picked out the Blue Puppy , I don't know if she felt like she had to match or it was meant to be and she named it "Lilly".. we continued on the journey and got them stuffed and gave them Baths! That was the easy part and than it was time to get them dressed.. WOW!! I never knew that they had sooo much to chose and it took forever .. but we did it !!! It is Priceless to watch my girls grow up and see their expressions and chit chatting between the 2 sisters on what would match with eachother! What a Fun time.. and I am positive we will be back for more clothes, shoes, purses, glasses, oh who knows they have it ALL!

Makes it a liitle bit Sweeter......
