Where has the time gone??

Wow it's mid April and summer is almost here. Graduation is only one and 1@ Weeks awy. Alicia just receives word that she a new job at the Deaf School. She will be working with me,as the second night watch. We are both very excited. She is trying figure out how she is going to be able to keep working at both places because even though NDSD is full time nights position there is no work for her to do in the summer. She also brought up some important questions regarding her insurance. We're not sure how that will get paid over the summer. But I'm confident that we will fine answers to our questions soon. For now we are just enjoying the new possibilities. I know this is short but it is something.

Still NO computer!

I can't believe that the computer doctor still has our computer. It's been over a week now and he says he is still scanning it for viruses. He told Dwight today that He would bring it over to the house by 9:30pm. It never came!! I can't believe that he can hold our computer this long. I hope that his computer skills are better than his business skills. Well how many people think we should make him wait for his bill to get paid, or just not pay him at all?

Aiden is getting so big. He will be three years old next week, isn't that exciting! I changed his picture today to show you just how big he is getting. The only way for me to get pictures here is to get them off April's Blog, I can't go on Facebook here at work, but I can still see all the blogs I want. He uses the toilet most of the time, with an occasional accident. I have plans on getting him some Dago things, and some clothes. April when would you like me to come? I hope you are still checking this blog. Well if I don't hear from you I'll try to get a hold of you.

Ellen! Yep I have been watching her daily and...

Yes I have and entering every contest I could find! What are the odds I could win anything?
Well, it's higher now then if I never entered at all! Right? I have not written any thing for soooo
long. (June actually) I'm wondering what I should make for a Christmas meal. Anyone got any idea's??? Come on is any one even checking my blog any more? Why would you? I have not posted for such a long time. Any way I can't go on face book because our computer is sick, yeah it has about a bazillion Trojans and worms I'm not sure how but one got on and ate up all our spy ware and virus blockers and left us defenceless. We took it to a computer Doctor and he wouldn't answer any of Dwight's messages, wouldn't call to let us know what was going on. Dwight talked to him yesterday and he told Dwight that it would do one more scan and it will be done today. He also said that he had been in the hospital, for high blood pressure?? Not sure about that. He must have caught a virus from our computer. Any way I have to go it's time to get the kids up for breakfast. Well our computer never showed up. I think we should start charging him rent for having it so long.

Up date on Aiden.

Well where to start... Aiden saw his pediatrician on Thursday for a check up. His Inflammation rate was up. When he was in the Hospital it was 35, when they checked it on Thursday it was up to 75. A normal rate for his age is 1o. Basically what that means is that he has an inflammation some where in his body. We already knew that. however the raised inflammation rate bothered his Pediatrician, so she sent him to see a specialist, I did not know what kind of specialist until after his appointment. Which I am actually happy I didn't know until after it was all over. He went to see a Pediatric Oncologist, which for those who don't know is a cancer doctor. After his appointment there he also saw a ENT doctor. The first one wanted to biopsy his lymph nodes, but after the ENT doctor visit, He felt that it was too early for that and said it is not unusual for kids to have swollen glands along with an infection whither it was tonsillitis, ear infection, viral or bacterial, since Aiden had tested positive for Mono he thought that the mono was more likely the cause of his swollen lymph nodes and thought that they should give his body more time to heal. So that's what they are doing. April said that he seems to be feeling OK. So for now another scare averted. I'm sure he will be watched carefully by Mom Dad and Doctors.

For those of you that don't know, I will be going to GF on Monday the 21st. to have my rt wrist operated on for carpel tunnel. It was diagnosed back in July and we were waiting and dealing with it by using braces at night. About a week and a half ago I felt a strange electrical sensation in the palm of my hand and since then my fingers have been numb. My first thought was it was my MS acting up, but I haven't had any problems there for 5-6 years, then I remembered that those are the same fingers the are affected with the carpel tunnel so I called Dr. Clayburgh's office and they agreed, that was most likely the problem and we decided to do the surgery. I was surprised that I could get it done so fast, but this way I don't have to think about it for very long. It is a same day surgery and they will just be putting a bandaid on it when it's done, so it doesn't sound too bad. Well that's my up date... until next time.

We may have a diagnosis!

The Doctors may have found out what is wrong with Aiden. He was taken to see the Doctor again on Wednesday because his rash came back and the glands started to enlarged again including some in the back of his neck. They put him back in the hospital for more tests. They were able to rule out lymphoma. Thank God! The other thing they tested him for was mono which they are waiting for the results to come back. If that's it, he will get to go home again! Yay! I did some searching and found this information......

Mono; Kissing disease
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Mononucleosis is often transmitted by saliva. While it is known as "the kissing disease," occurring most often in 15- to 17-year-olds, the infection may occur at any age.
Mono may begin slowly with fatigue, general ill feeling (malaise), headache, and sore throat. The sore throat slowly gets worse, often with swollen tonsils covered with a whitish-yellow covering. The lymph nodes in the neck are frequently swollen and painful.
A pink, measles-like rash can occur and is more likely if the patient is given ampicillin or amoxicillin for a throat infection. (Antibiotics should NOT be given without a positive strep test.) The symptoms of mono gradually go away on their own over a period of weeks to months.

Symptoms
Fever
Sore throat
Swollen lymph nodes, especially in the neck and armpit
General discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling
Drowsiness
Loss of appetite
Muscle aches or stiffness
Swollen spleen
Rash
Less frequently occurring symptoms include:
Jaundice (yellow cast to skin)
Headache
Neck stiffness
Sensitivity to light
Cough
Shortness of breath
Chest pain
Rapid heart rate
Fatigue
Nosebleed
Hives


Signs and tests
During a physical examination, the doctor may find swollen lymph nodes in the front and back of the neck, as well as swollen tonsils with the whitish covering. The doctor might also find a swollen liver or swollen spleen when pushing on your belly. There may be a skin rash.
Laboratory findings often include a higher-than-normal white blood cell count, and the characteristic finding of atypical lymphocytes -- unusual-appearing white blood cells that are seen when blood is examined under a microscope. Abnormal liver function tests are also characteristic.
Common tests for EBV include:
A monospot test (positive for infectious mononucleosis)
Epstein-Barr virus antigen by immunofluorescence (positive for EBV)
Epstein-Barr virus antibody titers to help distinguish acute infection from past infection with EBV

Treatment
Most patients recover within 2-4 weeks without medication. Younger children often don't have symptoms, while some older patients may have fatigue for up to 6 weeks.
There is no specific treatment available. Antiviral medications do not help. Steroid medication may be considered for patients with severe symptoms.
To relieve typical symptoms:
Take acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain and fever.
Gargle with warm salt water for sore throat.
Get plenty of rest. Drink plenty of fluids.
Avoid contact sports while the spleen is swollen (to prevent it from rupturing).

Expectations (prognosis)
The fever usually drops in 10 days, and swollen lymph glands and spleen heal in 4 weeks. Fatigue usually goes away within a few weeks, but may linger for 2 to 3 months.


Well there it is, all you ever want to know about Mono. This may sound strange but we are all hoping that he has Mono. (I highlighted his symptoms in yellow.) I wish I would have know this 2 weeks ago. Will let you all know for sure when the results come in but by the looks of this it sounds like a reasonable answer.

Aidens trip to the hospital

This is what he looked like on, Nov. 15, 2008, before Kevin had taken him to the ER. He was allergic to one of the two antibiotics that they put him on after they stoped the IV antibiotics, he became red from head to toe.
Sunday before he went home he was chowing down on some pizza.
He also developed thrush from being on such strong IV antibiotics and it killed off all bacteria including the good kind that protects you from things like thrush. Isn't it pretty?

He doesn't look all that happy right here but we were taking him home and he really was.
Time to go home!

Halloweeen!

Well it's been a very long time but I have some great pictures to share with you. Dwight and I are watching Aiden tonight while Mommy and Daddy are out at a Halloween party. Before they left I took some pictures and I noticed that their computer has a disk drive for our camera. As soon as Aiden went to bed I brought my disk in and now I have all my recent pictures on their computer so I'm taking this opportunity to put them on my blog. Enjoy!



First we have True Blood and his victim.
