Everything under the sun...

This is how I felt yesterday when I received the results of Ethan's allergy test. I didn't realize how many things he was allergic too. I knew some of them because of reactions he's had to different things. Around cats and dogs his eyes get really puffy and swollen. Poor little boy. So not only is he allergic to trees, grass, weeds, ragweed, dust, dust mites, cat, dog, horse, there are others ones as well but I forget everything off the top of my head. I know he's not allergic to feathers and cockroaches. I think cockroaches is such a strange thing but I guess some people are very allergic including Kristina...Jacque's daughter. So now he's on Zyrtec everyday now but I have to try and get all the dust and dust mites out of his bedroom and the house for that matter. So very hard but I'm trying. He is very sad though because all of his stuffed animals that he made at Build A Bear I took off his bed and he does like to cuddle with his stuffed animals. I'm trying to think of everything that I can do for him to help him. My little boy...not only Excema but now many many allergies. His skin is so nice right now because every night before he goes to bed I lotion him all over his body and he has helped. That makes not only him feel better but me as well because he's not so itchy all over.
Back to the allergy test...I was so proud of him laying still for all the pricks and then laying there for 20 minutes while the soulution settled into his skin. The nurse came back into the room after his time was up and she said, Oh Dear God! I said what's going on? What's wrong? And she just said I can't believe how allergic he is! The doctor then came back in and looked at him and said that she wasn't even going to do the blood test then because she saw the results and said that she was going to put him on meds anyway so she didn't really feel the need right now...which is good I guess for right now because I didn't want him to go through that as well.
Before the appt though the fire alarm went off at work when the kids were all sleeping. That was just about the craziest thing ever! I couldn't believe that it was happening and I'm sure everyone else was just as shocked. We did get everyone up though and got them outside. I had to leave when we all got them back in so I felt kind of bad leaving all of them like that but I really didn't have a choice.
While we were at the doctor appt. Emma's therapist came to see her and it didn't go very well because it was the first time Amy came to the center, she didn't get much sleep, and it was just crazy in her room at the time. Next week she will come back to the house and then the following week she's coming back to the center but in the morning this time so maybe a better time?!?!?!
Not a whole lot went on today but I'm sure glad tomorrow is Friday...Yea! :-)
Until next time...

I know your shocked but I'M BACK!!!!

I know it took 5 years and I don't really know where to start but I'm back!
I feel like I don't even know what to say right now...I haven't done this in a while so I have to get back into it! :-)
First of all I have to say that last Saturday night was absoulutely the best night of my life! It was so amazing and to be that close to reach out and touch them...well almost I guess! We were so very close! I do have to say that Keith is HOT!!!! Kenny's not to bad either...Hehehehe! It was a very long night but I would do it again in a heartbeat! I laid down in my bed about 3:15 and my wonderful boy decided to wake up and come up to our room about 6:30. Nice huh? I did take a nap though and that was wonderful!
Sunday we had Ethan's last all star T-ball game of the year. He's getting very good but I'm sad to see that it's already done but oh well. Next year again.
Ethan did have to miss his second swim lesson on Saturday morning because he had a T-ball game that day as well and it was the same time. We'll start again next week. That goes every week until the second week of August and then I have to prepare myself for his first day of kindergarten! Whewww I can't really think about that right now.
Alright so I'm sorry if I completely confused you about my weekend because I kind of confused myself but it's probably because I'm pretty tired right now. It's not even 9:00 yet but I do need some sleep.
Today was Monday and it was quite the Monday. My lovely husband and I got into a discussion and that always stresses me out because it doesn't really happen to often but when it does I do get stressed out. It was all about Ethan's allergist appt on Wednesday. He was going to cancel it because of financial reasons but I really think he needs it so I called back and got the appt back. Anyway you can put two and two together and figure out why we had this discussion. Okay well it's said and done. I'm not really sure what's going to happen but he does need it. They said they are going to do this 11 prick test and I'm not sure about that but we'll see. They also said that they may need to do lab work but that can always be done at another time right?
Anyway back to tonight. After work I brought the kids home and I went to a class. I got home about 7:30 and then took the kids outside to play with the sidewalk chalk. We came in ab out 8:00 I put Emma to bed, put lotion on Ethan and then put him to bed. Now I'm writing! Yea! Tomorrow I don't really think a whole lot is going on. Emma's therapist might have to come over tomorrow night because she was suppose to come to school on Wednesday but Ethan's first allergist appt they told me may take up to 4 hours and I might not be back to talk to her. So I'm going to call her tomorrow morning and see what she says...kind of short notice but we'll see.
Emma's therapist is wonderful and I do love her. Her name is Amy and she's so great with Emma and Emma really likes her too!
So we're on to Wednesday....I think I pretty much said already what's going on.
I know tomorrow and Wednesday Ethan starts basketball and tumbling through school age. That will be very cool! He has been a little something lately in the school age room but today I do have to say he had a wonderful day! :-)
On to Thursday I don't really think a whole lot is going on but Ethan goes on his first school age field trip to the Dolphin Swim Club. I know he will love that! He love water! Friday nothing really going on or that I know of yet and Saturday is Ethan's swimming in the morning and then Sarah's that night! So much fun! I don't really think I will do much of anything like everytime but we do have so much fun!
Anyway girls I'm so glad to be back online! I'm going off to bed. I hope all is well with all of you and I hope to talk to you soon! Until next time...
