• Good morning

  
  

  Well life goes back to normal.  bwahahahaha

  
  

  Raineebug is still chasing that cat.  Some day its gonna get caught, and man is she (the cat) gonna be shocked!

  
  

  I rigged a side-car from Rainee's crib last night.  I think this is gonna work.  Even if she never sleeps at least she can do it where I can still roll over and reach her, or just plain roll over without the logistics of what to do with the baby.  Its working quite nicely.  I can just drop her in bed after her 1000th nurse of the night and go back to sleep.

  
  

  So with more details of my oh-so-lovely Thursday visit to the pulminologist.  We are gonna be doing two more tests on Rainee.  *sigh*  And there's a good possiblity they will remove her tonsils.  They are suspicious that this is why her sats drop at night.  The pulminologist was not happy when she heard that.  So they are gonna do a sleep evaluation.  Where they put bunches of probes on her and evaluate her sleep~~or should I say lack there of. 

  
  

  The second test will be infant lung function test.   It will require her being under anesthetic (again)  But supposedly I at least get to stay with her this time.  Oh, I so hope so, I hate having to walk away from her for surgery.    This test will evaluate how much volume she's actually pushing out of her lungs.  They will put a vest on her which will act relatively like a blood pressure cough, and 'cause her to breathe in and out to see how much  volume she's producing etc. 

  
  

  I'm starting to wonder how many tests she's gonna do before we say NO more.  But she's not healthy, and well it seems like something has to give.  *sigh*

  
  

  With our luck the tests will be scheduled during our supposed vacation (again)  We really want this vacation, so prayers that it could be scheduled BEFORE the middle of April would be nice.

  
  

  Oh yes, and prayers that she would do her sat drop tricks during the sleep test so they can evaluate for themselves would also be appreciated.   Its kinda like taking a car thats making a "weird" sound, and the sound going away.  I'd really like them to see it for themselves. 

  
  

  Well, I went into town to pick up dh's scripts yesterday and my card was out of my wallet, so gotta load the kiddos up and get it today.  It WAS nice, and was thinking of a park, but now its pouring, so maybe we'll just turn around and come back home. 

  
  

  My bathroom is probably looking like a tornado hit it~~the kiddos are "brushing" their teeth right now.  This is a half hour long process where the sink runs the whole time if they think they can get away with it. 

  
  

  Okay closing with a picture I took at the beach when we went Tuesday.  It was so beautiful there.  I have more, but will upload them as I have time.

  
  

  Thanks for the prayers once again, it sure helped to know many people were praying while we waited!
