If ONE more thing breaks before my water breaks. . .

I am so ready to have this baby. We have 8 days 'til induction!!! Last weekend we discovered our video camera was broken. On a postive note we found out now and NOT in the delivery room. When doing research to solve this problem we learned that they no longer make the kind of camera we have. This wouldn't be a huge deal IF we kept up with converting our camera tapes to VHS or DVD. We have 20+ camera tapes (4yrs of our family memories) that we can't watch on the camera and we can't watch on any other format!!!! Well after some crying and a lot of screaming I cooled off and started thinking. I sent Daniel to Best Buy to buy a new camera so we had one to film the new baby and started calling friends. Thankfully our neighbors have a digital 8 video camera and they were willing to loan it to us so I can convert the tapes to DVD. Thanks to Robin and Corey Seymor!!!

So I have spent the last 3 days working on this project which is a very time consuming project when getting up from a sitting position or standing too long can be extemely painful. I am about half way through, but yesterday we hit another obstacle.

I went to wash a load of clothes to pack the boys to spend a few days in Pensacola and went in the laundry room a few minutes later to a very wet floor!! I turned it off and called Daniel to prepare him for the mess and repairs when he got home from work. The machine flooded under the wall into our bedroom and totally flooded the garage under the other wall!!!

We were able to get a new washer and dryer arranged to be delivered Monday afternoon. We decided to get front loading washer that can be stacked and put the deep freeze in the laundry room because we didn't have an available outlet in the garage and were planning on hiring an electrician to add one. The shelves in the laundry room are 1.5'' too low to accomodate the stacked washer and dryer so Daniel just finished removing the shelves and there are TONS of holes in the walls and we have been very unhappy with the paint job in the new house so we headed back to Lowe's to get supplies and will be spending all of Sunday painting the room before the machines are delivered and then we will have to fun job of figuring out some kind of storage shelves to house the things that filled the previous shelves!!!

For the sake of my sanity and our budget the next thing that breaks in our house better be my water!!!

Old Maid in My Ear

Last week Alan said he put a popcorn seed in his ear at school. We took him to the pediatrician at the base and they tried to get it out with irrigation. While we were waiting for the referral my friend, Missy (a nurse), took him to her husband's office and tried to irrigate it out again. No luck so we had to wait for a referral to be approved to take him to a pediatric ENT. The closest one is in Pensacola and couldn't get him in until March 17th!! Again I called my friend Missy and asked for her recommendation on ENT doctors in town. She gave me her guy's name and I got on the phone with Tricare. It took lots of call transfers and time, but they could change the referral to Dr. Tran and he could get us in yesterday. Dr. Tran was unable to remove the popcorn seed in his office, but they could get Alan in for surgery first thing this morning to remove the seed. Here is where I learned that anything requiring anesthesia is called surgery. They were going to put Alan out so he...

Daniel's Surgery

It's 1:30am and been a very long day. Daniel's surgery was pushed back quite a bit today and we are just getting home from the hospital. The doctor gave us some neat pictures and I hope to get them along with all the details added to this post in the very near future. Thanks for all your prayers and please continue to pray for a speedy recovery. WARNING WARNING WARNING the following pictures are not for those of you with weak stomachs!!! Here is his Gall Bladder (everything here is normal) This next picture was explained with some big words. My teaching background kicked in so I rephrased what the doctor was telling me in words I could understand and he said I was understanding correctly. This is Daniel's colon an it should be able to move freely, but there is a spider web kind of forming around it trapping it. The doctor was able to cut it free. Here is Daniel's small intestine. It was getting caught up in the web as well, but the doctor was successful in freein...
