Potty trained?

So megs, remi is gettin to the point where he likes to snuggle with stuffed animals, he doesnt have a favorite yet, Hmm auntie megs gonna get him one like kempy? lol... I love ya girl...

So everything is going great, remi was really fussy the last few nights for me to see yesterday that low and behold one of his ears are infected already, what the heck, so I called doc immediatly and they sent me over a new ear drop, I hope this takes care of it, I mean he just got new tubes why are they infected already, ugh... stress...

anywho remi is gettin himself a little pet... I cant wait to get it for him, but its gonna be awhile still lol... but I will show you all when he gets it... hes def excited...

Kemper is gettin ready for school... already has his physical, and then he has his dental next month and we will get the letter in augs if he gets in or not, if not next year for sure:)

OMG guess what? Remi peed on the toilet the other day, no joke, He came in there pulling at his diaper and pointing at toilet, (he sees kemper go all the time) so I took his diaper off and sat him up there, sure enough he peed, took him a min but he peed, thats a start, now i gotta go get him that cute frog toilet from walmart, so i can set it in the livingroom and he can go all the time... im excited, Kemper was so easy, i must be blessed... looks like remi will be too:)

I have a few prayer request, a man Robert worked with is very sick, he moved to hawaii about a year ago, got bite by a spider in 3 dif spots they cut them open to release them now he has mrsa, and its not in his blood stream thank god but if it does they give him 2 days to live, please pray it makes its way out before it gets that far... His daughter had her baby 2 or 3 days after remi was born :) so cute

my good friend and I oh and her sister:) took the boys to grand haven to the Imagination station... we had so much fun, here is a few pictures it was so much fun:)

Please pray for remi to feel better soon...

hmm I had a few more where they went I have no idea I cant remember:( But as soon as they come too I will post, IM off to pray now and go to bed...

Kemp Cellulitis

Well lets see... Wednesday afternoon a good friend of mine and I found this weird swollen inside part of the ankle on Kemp (my oldest) around 3 ish or 330 ish, it was very very red, hot to the touch and very swollen... I washed it really well thinking he got into something, didnt see anything and it felt very very hard, in that area... So I called the doctor they told me to give him benedryl to see if it went down and what not, they called me at about quarter to 5 to check on him still the same they told me to take him to ER... So I did so... when I got into there the doctor was very rude to me, Im thinking his peds sent me in here, why are you being rude to me... they figure because its not that big of an emergency, well so he said it wasnt, the heck it wasnt thank god I called his doc in the morning and got him in... the ER gave us an antibotic which we started that night... i got him into his peds in the morning, oh wait, let me tell you what they said at the ER they said it was cellulitis (sp?) which it was and is... so I take him to Peds where it had spread up his leg... Kemp in very much pain... the ER told me to put Ice on it, umm wrong you put heat on it, 3-4 times a day, it needed to be cleaned out with soap and water alot all day and night long, it needed to be elevated, and marked with pen to see how far it spread... oh and that he shouldnt wear shoes or socks ect... lovely that the ER didnt tell me any of this, they acted like it was nothing... thank god for his peds... so they sent us home after markin up his leg, said to keep up with his meds, and give him IBU for pain... which wasnt cutting it but we dealt with it... and he did a good job, such a trooper... so today they called to check on us and its doing great, it all went down, doc said it might flare up one more time but then will be done, but so far it hasnt so we might be good, oh and they say it looks like a spider bite that infected under the skin, ouch and lovely and where did he get bite, our neighbor is a bug guy lol if you know what i mean, and he sprays our house for everything, i never see bugs here lol or at least in my house or near it lol... so I have no idea, but all in all he is okay and safe,


Remi is doing great with his tubes, can hear so much better, which is a good sign he didnt lose hearing, but if he did I dont know how much... he still loves loud noises though lol...

anywho im off to bed, im not feeling well

thanks for reading, if you read this please comment, and pass on my story please

Updates and more updates remi surgery

Remis first birthday cake

few days after remi came home from DeVos NICU hes already over a month old in this pic, but cant tell, he was so small

My oldest Kemper

Me (momma) , Remi, Kemper, and auntie jill

Remi now days being silly

Sorry everyone its been awhile... Been very busy..

Remis surgery on monday went well, better then I had expected, His surgery if you dont know was for his replacement of tubes and adnoids... this tubes were not working properly so they needed to be removed and new ones replaced... come to find out his adnoids were very small and were not causing any problems at all for him... so they didnt have to remove those, although he could use to have his tonsils out but he is way to young for that... well if they get bad enough they will take them out, they are tryin to clear his airway as much as possible to help his lungs get the full extent of working they should have, and right now they arent which is causing a hard time for them to finish and correctly develope... so needless to say only his tubes were done monday, but they had a hard time gettin his old tubes out so they did send home with some pain meds in which I dont use, he doesnt appear to be in any pain, only at night time in which I give him tylenol for... hes doing great...

Yesterday I worked all day long very hard cleaning out the play room for them, somehow there father thinks its his junk room and shoves all his junk in there, making it hard for them to play in... the boys uncle ricky is a painter and is gonna come paint the room for remi, two walls will be fire engine red and the other two walls will be the chalk board stuff so he can draw on them when older and erase them:) I think he will really like this, I am also looking for a race car toddler bed for him, so we can get him out of his crib, he is still young but this transition wont be done for awhile so by the time we do it he will be ready:)

Kemper will be starting school next year I hope... hes at least on the waiting list and hopefully will get a place, hes bday is in july so he should have a good chance... I am excited, hes already so smart but I know him being in school will help him... hes been very naughty lately, acting out im assuming but why i have no idea, he gets alot of attention and is included in everything so I am not sure whats going on, he is now starting to be more distant what I mean by that is he will now go places away from me for more then a min, before he wouldnt not let me leave his side, he will now go with his aunt or with my mom or grandpa for a few hours... he wants to come back home before bed which is fine but I hope he starts gettin to the point where he can stay away too, this mommy needs a break... yikes...

its summer, yay... I cant wait for beaches, bike rides, walks, parks its going to be such a great summer with my boys:) I just cant wait, the hubby is home everynight and only off on sundays but I just know we will have alot of time as a family and be able to enjoy this summer:) we have tons of cookouts at my moms, so its gonna be great:)

Ive lost alot of weight, I went from a size 20 to a size 14 in about a month, so im doing pretty good id say... I want to lose more and will once i start riding my bike this summer:) cant wait...
