Okay, so spring break is officially over and it's back to the ole grind.
Both the girls have had this runny nose and sneezing stuff thanks to the sudden onset of warmer weather and pollen. Abbie's tubes have been draining this green goo that looks a lot like snot. It's gross to say the least, but at least we aren't on antibiotics for an ear infection.
Everybody went back to school today, we'll see how it went this afternoon... Sleep is becoming harder the closer it gets to June.
Not much planned for this week except a meeting on Friday. Can't believe March is almost over. Maggie keeps asking everyday when we are riding the choo-choo train. Got her a calendar with the days numbered so we can mark them off each day.
Planted some strawberries yesterday and had our first meal of the "summer" outside.

Delayed
Sorry, I know I haven't written anything in a while, but life has been to say the least, busy.
Abbie was released from the hospital on the 28th and we saw Dr. Boldon again on the 8th. Still has a sinus infection, still on antibiotics. Hopefully through with the medication on the 19th. He said that if she gets the stomach virus again in the next 3 months, he will test her for an immune deficiency. Right now, she and her sister are camped out at the grandparent's house during spring break.
Maggie has a runny green nose, but that's nothing new for her. She is so excited that she and Abbie are going to the dentist on Wednesday. Strange, I know, but my children love to see the dentist.
Bowen (Brooke's little boy) that was born with club foot on both sides, is having surgery today. They have already had numerous surgeries and braces and casts. But the last time they went to LeBohneur (?), the doctors told Brooke they would have to start all over. This time they will put him back in the hard casts for a while. Poor little fellow, he has really been through a lot.
Got the tickets for the train and the hotel reservations for New Orleans. Maggie is so excited to ride the train to see the animals at the zoo and the goldfish. I hope that the trip lives up to her expectations. We are going Easter weekend with Mom and the grandparents. Abbie is going too.
Otherwise, people are trying to convince me that what we are going through right now is not what is correct and that I am wrong in doing this. I wish that if people were going to give their advice, that they would consider the entire situation and not just what they have heard or been told. I am doing what I think is best for myself and my girls. I know that it will not please everyone, however, using religious piety and condemnation are not the best way to convince anyone that they are wrong.
Enough with this, today is Amelia's birthday and I have a birthday dinner to attend.

Everybody Home
Abbie got out of the hospital Monday night still having diarrhea and after a bag of rocephin just in case. Her stomach has still not been right and today was her first day back at daycare in a week.
Maggie is doing great. No one seems to have caught the stomach bug but Mamaw. But on Tuesday night, I got up to get Abbie (she was crying) and kicked the door facing to her room. I broke my little toe on my left foot.
This has been the craziest last week that I can remember. Headed to Starkville to the OB today for my glucose test and then to Columbus to spend the night before heading to Macon in the morning to see patients.
It is Josh's weekend for the girls, but he informed me yesterday that he did not have a vehicle. Mom is going to watch them until I can get home tomorrow.
Plans to plant strawberries tomorrow afternoon, I'm sure the girls will enjoy playing in the potting soil!

Needs a title
Abbie had her tubes done Thursday of last week. She did okay with the surgery, the doctor said that he found an abscess behind her ear drum. She did not do well with the Versed. Apparently, she nor I can handle this medicine. She was incoherent but screaming for the first 45 minutes after surgery. Once she finally calmed down, she slept for 3 hours. She seems to be doing okay now except for this cough that she has picked up.
Maggie's conference at school last week was between myself, her teacher and the principal. Maggie has not been eating at school (lunch or breakfast) and has been throwing temper tantrums. The teacher suggested that she could be autistic or Asperburger's although I explained to her that she had been tested and she was not either of those. Maggie finishes her work much faster than her classmates and from what I can gather, is getting bored at school. I have talked to several friends of mine who have suggested that we have her IQ tested for a gifted program or something akin to the sort. We have been referred to 2 psychologists in Jackson and I am waiting on a return phone call.
Got my car insurance taken care of this morning. Josh had not paid it (it was in his name) and the coverage had lapsed. It is now in my name and everything worked itself out. Also, I spoke with the credit card company yesterday who is willing to work out a 5 year payment plan. Waiting on confirmation that my student loans have been deferred. Received our SNAP benefits lats week and have put them to good use already.
Josh had the girls this weekend and they didn't seem to come back any worse for wear except a few scratches here and there. No big happenings this week that I am aware of...Jackson State game on Saturday at MVSU, Grambling on Monday.

Tubes
Abbie had an appointment in Jackson on Monday with our ENT. He scheduled her tubes for Thursday. I have to call today and get our time to be there Thursday morning. His nurse said they go in order of age, so I am expecting between 7-8 a.m. which means a really early morning for us.
Academic Conference today with Maggie's teacher and the principal at school. Just hope everything is okay and she can stay where she is. She really seems to enjoy it and is learning a lot.
Went to Bible study Tuesday morning - Beth Moore's revised study of David. Hoping it will be a great time of fellowship and friends.
Can't think of anything else major right now, but will update hopefully Friday about the ears and parent-teacher stuff.

ENT Appointment and Snow
We went to the pediatrician on Wednesday for a followup about Abbie's ears. The left one is still infected, the right is much better. Doc scheduled our appointment with the ENT in Jackson on Monday. It's the same one that did Maggie's ears a couple years ago. We are on another antibiotic for now, hoping that will help. 3/4 of a tsp three times a day.
No school or daycare on Thursday under 3.5 inches of snow. It did melt somewhat, so now we have ice everywhere. But we had school and daycare today.
Got a call from the school on Tuesday that Maggie would not leave the cafeteria or eat her breakfast. Come to find out, the TV is on in the cafeteria during breakfast. So now we eat breakfast at home. Also got a call from the principal to schedule an academic conference. As of today, we have scheduled it three times and it is tentative for Wednesday of next week. Not sure what this is about, as Maggie is usually really good about doing her schoolwork.
Headed to Macon in the morning to see a couple patients then to MVSU for basketball games. Hoping that the roads between here and there are not too bad.
