Where to begin.ooops here is the rest of the story

This pas week has been a blur! Little did I know that my world would be turn upside down. It all started Thursday when I took Rachel and Samantha to a church baseball game. Samantha was acting kind of funny and was just sitting there watching the game I didnt think too much about it because it was hot and I thought that was why she didnt want to run around like usual. After being there about 30 mins she came up to me and told me she throw up but just a little. I thought it was the hot sun since she was acting normal otherwise. Then Friday came Samantha was fine all day till after dinner, thats when she went to lay down she said she didnt feel good. I thought it was the flu since her friend across the street had it she ran to the bathroom and hrow up again, then again so I started pushing fluids at her. She throw up one more time and went to sleep. Samantha slept on the love seat and I slept on the couch near her I didnt hear her get up durning the night and every time I checked on her she had no fever. Saturday morning as soon as she got up she ran to the bathroom and throw up again when she came out of the bathroom OMG she scared me her face was gray in color and she looked so thin so very thin. I called the Dr he told me to take her to the ER to have an i.v . Here I am still thinking she had the flu and that maybe she was Dehydrated.



Well the Dr didnt tell me too much here I am thinking after they re hydrated her she would be fine and we would go home the next thing I know the Dr comes back in the room and tells me my little 8 year old daughter is in critical condition and they were going to move her to a different hosp.. talk about shock!! I ran home grabbed a few things and off to the new hosp they were taking her to. As soon as I walked into her I.C.U room the Dr there looked at me and said "you know your daughter has type 1 Diabetes" I just felt numb I didnt know what to think or say I didnt even know if I was really hearing him right. I did manage to ask him if they were sure and why they thought this he told me her blood level from before she left the other hosp was 1050 that I was sooooooooooooooooo lucky that she wasnt in a coma...it just blew me away just the morning before she was playing acting normal how could this be??? Then I took a good look at my baby seeing her with 3 I.V bags in her arm heart monitors on her wires everywhere reality started sinking in... We stayed in the hosp together for 4 day and had so many nurses and Drs trying to tell me what to do for her care..the first 2 days are a blur I dont think I remember much of anything they told me then...but after the shock wore off and I stopped crying anytime Samantha wasnt looking I started understanding the things they were telling me the pass few days and everything new they told me..the first shot I had to give her I was scared to death I didnt want to hurt her but they made me do it and now I find myself doing it 4 times a day without even thinking, I cant even count how many finger pokes I am doing per day. Chuck right now is in denial but he is being so good with her, in fact he is babying her just a tad too much. I sure things will fall into place for all of us soon..

busy

I will finish updating after I get home today from the dentist for Anthony ( second visit this week for him) getting my hair cut and dropping Rachel off ..I hope that's all I have to do...lol.

of course I had to put in my 24 week pic but this is a few days late.

life at 23 weeks..lol

I havent been very good about keeping this up :O( I cant remember the last time I updated either. I am now 23 weeks 5 days they say at 24 weeks the baby is viable..yipie!!!! Of course each passing day is even better for the baby :O)

I am doing well having a lot of round ligament pains I never really had them before, but with this baby I am almost getting them daily...This little guy is really starting to be a mover the pass few days, he use to keep the kicking very very down low but now he is starting to move up a bit TG. Not too much new on the baby front other then my next appointment I get to have that lovely glucose test.yuck!!!

The kids are starting to get ready for school to start some are happy to go back to see their friends and what teachers they will get others ( Dillon) are not wanting to go back, did you know school is evil from what I was told by the one child..lol

Samantha just turned 8 a few days ago the poor kid had pink eye for her party, and she still has it now. Steven got it a week ago and was put on drops the Dr said if anyone else got it to "drop them" so I started giving it to her on her birthday. Now Steven started to show improvement within 24 hours Samantha's is STILL bad it doesnt seem to be getting any better. I am giving her till Monday then we go back to the Dr for her.

David leaves for Calf today he will be there for 3 weeks. He will be trainning the guys there on how to work on the osprey so that when they go to Iraq they will know what to do...They are hoping for this aircraft to be a big thing.. David is set to go to Iraq in Feb of 08 it use to seem so far away but now its just too close time seems like its ticking so fast!!! He is going to TRY to come home in Sept for 2 weeks I hope he gets to he hasnt been home since Dec :O( ok so he was home to go camping with us Memorial weekend but that just blew by!!!!

Chuck's work is starting to be a joke. Sometimes we get paid and sometimes we dont this pay period is a dontget paid one..grrrrr. I think he should start looking for a new job but then again there isnt anything out there and this start is #one for unempoyment. I am just hoping he can stay where he is at till the baby is born thats if we get paid. I am just scared about the insurance stuff and a new job..

This weeks new BIG belly pic I think I poped last night I swear!
