Logan.....one month away from insurance!

Logan has been sick for a little over a week now with a mild respiratory infection. He went in to the doctor on Tuesday. She put him on antibiotics, and sent home a scrpit for oral prednisone if he didn't show improvement after a few days. This morning after his 5:45am treatment he almost sounded worse. So I gave him his first dose of prednisone. Now, I get to watch him like a hawk for blood sugar problems. He tends to sky rocket while on steroids and usually requires insulin to maintain proper levels. So what did I do...... said a little prayer and sent him to school! lol He's missed a whole week, and today was their Christmas party, also the last day before Christmas break and he needed to get all the work he has missed. We also found out Tuesday that he'll need another sinus surgery soon- that's a walk in the park for him- usually! Today I got a call from the nurse with his C dif results..... positive again! So he's back on Flagil until he can get in to see the GI who will try some new combination of drugs to treat him.

C dificil is a bacteria that can colonize in the intestines releasing toxins. It has become a "super bug" and isn't easily treated in someone who has become resistant. They assure me it can be done though I'm beginning to doubt it!

Despite this we are determined to keep him home for Christmas! He has the best attitude, and rarely complains about any pain....... except tonight........ his toes hurt.......he was in tears! Don't have a clue what that was about!

My First Actual Blog!

Okay, so this whole blog thing is new to me but I think it will be helpful for everyone to keep up with our family and all the craziness we go through! Please bear with me as I learn how to make these a little more interesting. I am a myspace pro, let's hope that helps me out : )!

Christmas is fast approaching and bringing with it all the usual stress. I tried a new couple new sugar cookie recipes last weekend and ended up unhappy with them both. I guess I'll go back to my old one. My old one consists of driving to costco, finding the big box, waiting in line for EVER, driving home (most likely in the sonw), adding water (yes that's all), cutting out, and baking. They are the best dang cookies ever, they don't turn crunchy on you. Those who know me well know that's only the first half, I spend hours decorating them. I plan on doing all the rest of my baking tomorrow, after the big Larson Christmas Party.

I still work pretty much full time, and with babies, so needless to say my energy is zapped by the time I get home. By home I mean this tiny tiny little duplex that we live in like sardines. My children have totally destroyed my christmas tree, and though they haven't tried to open any gifts- many are missing bows. I usually enjoy this time of year to it's fullest- not this year though. I'm sad that my husband is leaving. I guess that's what it really comes down to. It's hard in this little house, but at least it's hard together. Now it gets to be hard all by myself and I'm questioning if I'm really up for the challenge like I'd thought I was. Oh well...... it's too late to turn back now so I will continue to put that smile on my face whenever some mentions him leaving for the army.
