Finally Fall is here and we are enjoying the cooler weather.
The girls are having fun being back to school. Lexi is in her 2nd year of pre-school, which is located at Olivia's elementary school and is really liking going 4 days a week. She is the only girl in class and is a little desperate for some friends. She was invited by her friend Blake for a playdate at his tumbling class, she had a lot of fun. Olivia is in 3rd grade and is in her 4th year of Girl Scouts. She is also taking sculpting classes as an after school program. She got a 100% on her first "real" test and we were all so very proud of her. Olivia has two really close friends that she hangs out with Beth and Alyssa. These girls are very sweet and I am happy she has bonded with them.
Lexi has had her rash for nearly a year now. She just completed a 3 months stint of Amoxycillin and now we are doing 3 months of Erthryomicin... this one seems to be working...I am going to give it another week or so and if not starting to improve we are going to Childrens for a consult. They did do a biopsy so we know what it is, I am just not comfortable with the aggressiveness of her dermatologist.
Olivia is healthy and is sporting her jack-o-lantern smile for Halloween.
I have been struggling with my knee pain. An MRI has shown that I have cysts under my kneecaps. We have tried a round of cortizone shots at no prevail. They want to do another MRI, but I can't pay the $1000 deductible to have this done....so he will just assume what is wrong with the other knee. It looks like there is also chrondomalcia patella. My insurance company just approved a 3 week stint of gel injections which hopefully will lubricate the knees so they can move more easily. If this doesn't work, than next step is surgery on both knees. Not sure, how I am going to pull that one off.
I am working with mom nights at MVRH, and really love my job. It is very exhausting, but I love working with all the families, especially when the outcome news of their pet is good.
I also, am doing my part time data entry job in the mornings and have taken over as being the Reading Girl Scouts coordinator for the town. So, I am constantly doing something and trying to enjoy my two days off a week - which is usually booked up with something school or girl scout related.
Mom and dad are both fine....
Our two kitty's had a rough couple of weeks as well. Capt' Hook ate a glow stick and was rushed into the ER early one morning, ended up being fine. Then, a few days later Tink went in to get spayed and had a horrible reaction to the drugs and spiked a high fever, she needed to stay overnight in intensive care. Then, a few days later, Hook scratched his way out of the window screen and found himself out on the roof not knowing how to get back in.
Nikko had a trip to the ER as well, with a small cut on her side, which has now healed. Mac and Gizmo had a trip for routine shots, which is always an adventure. And of course, we still have our 2 guinea pigs and fish.
With all that said and done, we are looking forward to fall and the girls are already making their Christmas lists....they are very much into American Girls this year!
