Has been very hectic. I'm sure of you guys know already, I was hospitalized for a few days for a a problem that I have had for the past several months. Before I left Texas, I was admitted into the hospital for what I thought was just severe stomach spasms that I could no longer control with the medication that I was given for it. It turns out that I had a small bowel partial blockage. The doctors kind of dismissed me and said that I was "healed". Well, it didn't go away and nothing got better. I got here to Pensacola and was having more trouble. The pain finally got bad enough and I gave in and went to the ER. After a few tests, they admitted me into the hospital. I finally got the help and attention that I needed to get better. I saw the GI doctor that I was trying to get into see, but wasn't able to get in until a month and a half out. He was very knowledgeable and polite. He knew exactly what my next step should be and answered all of my questions. So, I am on new medications. That was an interesting event for me because my new medication that I am on is through a shot that I give myself. Well, it is actually two shots every two weeks. I am, also, on a a strict diet until I see him in two weeks. I have to say that since I have been out of the hospital, I feel so much better. I am trying to take it easy and stay away from people in general since my immune system is pretty much shot right now.
Maddie went into daycare while I was hospitalized. Those were the first two days of day care. They said that she did good. She played with the other kids and only cried when she saw Jeff walk back in. Unfortunately, she hasn't built a good immune system yet, so she caught a sore throat virus while she was there. I took her to the doctor yesterday and found out that she had caught the virus. Luckily, she already broke her temp. She does have a rash over her entire body since it was a viral virus that she caught and not bacterial. She is a lot more active today and rambled pretty much the entire day.
Madison loves to ramble all day long. From the minute she wakes up to the minute she goes to bed, she is talking, walking, crawling, investigating, and exploring. She loves to pull her books off of her shelf and flip through the pages and "tell the story". She loves to play with Katy when she can. She will grab Katy's toy from her and then give it back. Every now and then you will hear her laugh as she taunts Katy with her toy. Katy is so good with her. Katy will either walk away if Maddie is bothering her, move if Maddie steps on her, and give her kisses if she has some remaining milk or food on her. Katy even brings a toy to Maddie in hopes that she'll play.
Maddie's first birthday is on Saturday. EEECCCCKKKK!! I don't even know where the time has gone. It is unbelievable that in just a few short days she will be a year old. She is getting so big, so quickly. I still have to go out and get her a big girl car seat. Jeff is still in denial about the fact she will be one. I am really looking forward to her birthday party and seeing everyone. It will be nice to finally see family again since it has been so long since I have seen everyone. I am really excited about Maddie's birthday cakes. I got a few photos of some ideas and that made me so much more excited to see the cakes.
Jeff is still in training at work. Every day when he comes home from work, he has so many drama filled stories to share with me. He said that this job is going to wear him out because there is just so much drama. Some of the stories he tells me are so unbelievable that it is not something he can even make up. He is supposed to be home for lunch daily, but I never know if he'll be home for lunch or not. It really depends on how much drama he is having to deal with on that given day. He comes home and he is worn out. Other than work, he is doing good. He loves to spend as much time with Madison as he can. He loves to get cuddle time in and steal as many kisses as he can from her. He is such a great father to her.
Well, I think I have updated on the past week. Until next time--- have fun, be safe, and enjoy life.
