So Far... Doing Ok

Hi again. Well isn't the weather nice but way too hot! I hope everyone has their A/c's going in their houses or vehicles. We went to buy one but it was 1 inch to big for any of the windows so we are out of luck and using fans at the moment. Well Trinity's Doernbecher appointment went well. Got in and out pretty fast, was just the hot drive home was not fun. Donny on the other hand is still in a pretty good amount of pain and the pills he is taking are not working worth a darn, so we have no idea what is going to go on with him. Today we heard from his Brother that is in AIT traning for the National Guard. He graduated July the 3rd from Basic Traning at Fort Jackson ,Sc then went to Fort Sill in Oklahoma. He gets to come home August 18and he can't wait to come home since we are redoing his Toyota truck. Other than that nothing much going on. Vincent wants to go back swimming in the pool and go fishing with his Grandpa this summer, so we will see how that goes. Well that is all I have. Stay Cool Everyone! God Bless

Donny Update

Hi there. Well we went up there to St Vincent Hospital and got in on time. THey took him back there and with in 15 minutes they had some news. 1 is that they are giving him a steriod that is pill form, and if that doesn't work then they are going to give him an injection in his neck of the same steriod. If that does not work they are going to do surgery and see if they can fix the problem and there is a 10% chance that it could not work and that they would have to fuse the bones togeather. So we are going one after the other, oh and if his hand and/or fingers go numb then he needs to go back to the Dr's. office and then they will instantly do surgery. So that is the news on him. On me I did not get a chance to go to the Gyno due to unexpected problems (coughs) so....... I get to wait longer now!!! That's all for now folks.

New Update

Hello again. We finally have some news on what is going on with Donny. He is going to a Neurosurgeon tomorrow at 1:15 to see if he needs surgery on his ruptured disk or not. Other than that there is no more news. Trinity will be going to Doernbechers on Monday for a whole panel lab draw and her Pentamidine infusion, and the infusions will end in November. She now says "ball, Elmo and Up" really well and she loves to learn. She also likes to still help unfold laundry and get into the cabinets still. Vincent is healing from a bad sunburn still from last month, and I am just trying to keep it all together and trying to stay sane!!! I will update tomorrow what is going on with Donny when I hear something.

Update On Our Family

Hello all. I have had this for a while but never posted on it since I forgot but I thought it was time to update everyone on our Family starting with Donny. He was injured and his neck muscles were strained and went to our PCP and he decided he needed an MRI so we went to Tigard and had one done. That was last Wednesday and they called our PCP back and told them that he has a severe ruptured disk in his back and he needs surgery on it pronto. So that is going on and also had a x-ray on his knee last month and he has a calcified bone floating around there and needs that taken out and we are still messing around with that mess since they got the date wrong of injury and had to sign the paperwork again. Ok off to me. I am having massive girl problems and am going to my Gyno to see if I have Pre Cancerious Cells or worse going on. I am freaked out since that seems to run in the family but I know whatever happens, it is for a reason. Now to Vincent, he is doing well and growing everyday, he finally got his traning wheels off as of yesterday and he is so excited that he can ride with out them ( I know it is really late in the game but we had no time when Trinity was going in and out of sugery lol). Then last but not least we have little miss Trinity. She is doing great her lab work looked good last Monday and she is going in for blood draws now 1x every other week which is great for me and my sainity!! Well running out of room.
