Teddy!

After many months of pushing, and switching doctors we finally got the test done for follow up on Teddy's kidney reflux! Teddy went to DuPont Hospital today, and had a VCUG done as a follow up on his deflux procedure almost 2 years ago!



Dan and I had been uneasy because the doctors didn't think there was a need for the test, but after a year and a half of pushing, we finally got it. The result today was that Teddy still has grade 4 reflux on his left side, and that his right side is clear of refulx. However, because the doctors had a need to be right for so long he has to have a renal scan to make sure he has no kidney damage.



The emotions that are being felt right now are shock, frustration, and anger. I think it's mostly anger right now that I am feeling! These people went on for months that it was constipation, potty training issues, not sure if he really has reflux, to finally the parents namely mom is a "nut job"! I just don't get it! Today we find out that he really does have a problem, and that Dan and I were right on with our instincts!



We are not going to dwell on the past, we are just happy that we finally have some anwers about Teddy! The question now is what do we do know for him! Teddy is g0ing to be taking primsol which is an antibiotic that treats infections of the kidneys and bladder until we get the results of his renal scan which has to be scheduled. From there we determine what kind of treatment will be best for him which could range from antibiotics to surgery.



For now keep Theodore Roosevelt Miller in your prayers! He is one tough little guy!

Karate

In December Teddy won a free month of karate at Family Martial Arts Center in Downingtown. Last saturday he was very excited to give it a try. When we got there, he didn't want to do it, we tried everything! Nothing seemed to make him want to go out onto the floor with the other children. Finally, he said he wanted Sissie (Emma) to go out with him. To make a long story short Emma is now taking karate with Teddy. Both of them really seem to enjoy it! They look really cute in their uniforms too!

Hannah Who....

Sadly Emma has said good-bye to her BFF Hannah Montana. Yes, Hannah was quickly replaced by Taylor Swift! Can you believe it! Don't get me wrong, Taylor is a nice girl and all, it just seems a little odd listening to Emma sing Love Story, and You Belong to Me instead of Best of Both Worlds, and Life's What you Make it! Taylor has even taken Hannahs place on her bedroom wall!



Hannah you are in our heart, but not forgotten! After all she is growing up, and will look back in time at the many fond memories you gave her!

Bloggitty, Blog, Blog.....We Have Some Serious Catching Up To Do!

Dear Blog,



How have you been? I know it's been awhile. Have been so busy here in the land of Mommyhood, that it seems that I have forgotten about you. Can you find it in your HUGE cyber heart to forgive me?



Yours Truly,

Lesley

First Day of School!

Time has flown by so quickly, there are two pre-schoolers living my house now! I can't believe it, Em and Ted have both gotten so big.

Emma had a great day of school on Monday! She said she loves her teachers, and was very excited to take her lunch box with and eat at school with her friends! So hard to believe that she will be 4 years old this year!

Ted did great too! He ran into his classroom with lots of enthusiasm. And the little booger didn't miss me for a second, he looked back and said "bye mom"! His teacher said he an awesome day today!

So proud of my little guys!

Do You Remember Where You Were.......9/11/2001?

It's so hard to believe that the Twin Towers went down 8 years ago. I will always remember what I was doing that day 8 years ago. My mom was at work and asked me to bring her lunch that day, and I was getting ready to leave, she called to tell me I couldn't get into the unit she was on because the VA was on lock down, just as she said that, I saw what was going on on the television, and I looked over at my brother and said "is this a movie, or is this for real?"

That whole day felt like we were living in a different time period. It felt like a dream, and that any minute I would wake up from. My thoughts went back 60 years to how those poor men and women who were attacked during Pearl Harbor. I couldn't help but think how could this be happening it's 2001?

Life seemed to go on after that fateful day as Americans each of our lives was changed in some way. One thing is certain, as the anniversary of this tragic day comes and goes each year, we will always remember where were and what we were doing on September 11, 2001.

The Other Woman!

Dan and I have been keeping a secret now for the past 6 months, and it is that he is having an affair! Yes, Dan has taken up with our cocker spaniel. It was very discrete at first, but gradually he and the dog have developed feelings for one another!

Who would have thought another woman would take my place in my hubby's heart, but it has happened. Dan used to come home and give me a peck on the cheek, and ask how my day had been. Now it is all about Lissie! He comes home gives the dog a peck, a belly rub, and asks her how her day was! How the hell hard do you think her day was....She's a damn dog! The dog has even claimed my side of the bed! What should I do? I mean look at that dog, and that cute little face, how can I deny her the things I love so dear....especially my side of the bed!
