...............Getting better

Last week was a busy week here again with Dr. appointments for the kids. Zach went on Wednesday had xrays and 1 fracture is healing while the other has started but not enough to keep him out of a cast. So back into a leg cast Mr. Zachary went. He wasn't a happy camper, but he doesn't listen and stay down to rest it. I know its hard especially when he is a 7 yr old boy, but boy I sure would like to be without a cast on him for a little while. I sound like a broken record telling him to go lay down or sit in the living room and watch tv and rest your leg. I will say I have threatened him a couple times and it doesn't bother him 1 bit. That child is going to be the death of me I swear.

Marissa went on Friday and they were pleased with her progress. Very happy with her movement & flexing she can do with it. Michelle told her she has to use the crutches and immobolizer still for another 4 weeks. That didn't go over well because its homecoming weekend and she didn't want to be strapped down. Well it was a rainy, cold, and windy day so the foot ball game was out already and I told her she could go to the dance regardless. We let her have her brace off for homecoming pictures but as soon as they were over it went back on. I think she has been cheating and trying to walk without crutches and her brace because she has had a lot of pain the last couple of days and she was warned too, she needs to stay off it or she will be having another surgery. What is it with my hard headed kiddos and not listening to the Dr?

............No luck what so ever

We went to the doctors today for Marissa with a check up on her knee. She will need surgery and its scheduled for 9/30. They sure aren't wasting any time. She has a chip on the knee bone and it needs to be removed or pinned back in place. Dr isn't sure if he can replace it because there is already fluid behind it and that means its already killing the bone in that area. If he can't pin it, then she might have to have another surgery to fill that area in because its on a weight bearing part of the knee and she will need something there. The first surgery isn't to bad they go in with the scope and 2 little needle holes but if she needs a second then we are looking at a longer surgery and recovery time. He said of atleast 4 months up to a year. So needless to say we have a very unahppy little/big girl on our hands. Dance is at a stand still for her right now. Please say some prayers that everything works out for her.

..................Family Update

I know its suppose to be wordless Wednesday, but I have been slacking at updating and have the time now to do so. Zach is in a cast again. He was in a bouncy house and a older kid (around 15 what where they thinking with little kids in there too?) was doing back flips and landed on his leg and he has a fracture of the femur. He is casted until the 22nd of Sept when he goes back for a check up.

Marissa is going to PT for her knee because she has a chip on the knee cap. If PT doesn't work we might be looking at surgery for her. So all this makes time very slim and crazy around here so please forgive me for not updating often. Marissa is off to the Justin Beiber concert tonite at the NYS Fair and she can't wait. Its like almost 1 of the hottest days of the summer to go also. So glad Monday is looking like around 73 for me to go. LOL

If anything changes I will be sure to update you all here.

...............Finally it fell out

Yesterday Zach came home from his trip to New York to see the Yankees play and his tooth looked really loose. Now he has had this stinking thing loose for probably a good 2 months I kid you not and complaining it hurts. Well we all know let it fall out on its own so you don't cause any damage. Well he sat on the couch next to me and kept wiggling it. I was totally grossed out since I don't like teeth for some reason. Well his sister came out and he asked her to help him pull his tooth. It was just a hanging so she worked at it, and can you believe it took them probably a good 5 min. or more to get the stinking thing out. Well he has officially lost his first tooth on his own. He has had 2 pulled, but thats because they were abscessed and no where ready to come out. So it was a big night for the little guy to put his tooth under his pillow and hope the tooth fairy would come. Well she did while he was at the baseball game so when he got home he was surprised already. He couldn't believe it. (I figured it was easier to do then, rather than wait and forget. Which would be terrible.) I will take a picture this weekend and post the beginning of next week.

Boy these kids make out like bandits now-a-days.
