Happy Happy Joy Joy

I got a call from the DR office yesterday, about Justin's 8 year checkup. While I was on the phone, I asked about Emilie's results, and she patched me through to the nurses station. After leaving a message, a nurse called me back with the results (that came back on Friday) and told me they were all negative that she was fine. She asked some more questions and called another time to ask another question. Couple hours later I get another phone call and was told that the DR thinks that her good bacteria (in layman's terms) got messed up. To fix it, I was told to put her on a regular diet and give her Cultural (or probiotics also called acidophiles) 2 times a day morning and evening. By the way, the Cultural is way expensive we are talking $20 for 3o capsules which will only last for 15 days!

We started her on the Cultural last night and this morning when she woke up, it looked like her intestines got rid of a little bit of icky then she had this super long poop! I was feeling better at this point, so Heather is less stressed today.

Good Job Justin!

It was time for progress reports yesterday, and I was thinking ah man I hope it's a good one. To my surprise, he got all 3's! (3's are like getting A's & 4's are like getting super A's) He did have a 2 in writing, that came up! He has been working on it since the end of last year! His teacher said that he has been working really hard on writing to get his grade up. We found he loves writing about Bionicles, I figure if it helps him write, that is a good thing! Go Justin!!

Justin also turned 8 on Sunday. For his day of fun, he chose to go to Dave and Busters! We went to the Frisco mall, walked around, played at D&B, found his b-day candy (for the party), & just had a ton of fun! We will have his party this Saturday and I will post pics and updates later. Have a great week!

Happy Valentines Everybody!!!

Just wanted to say have a great day with all the people you love! Okay that sounds a little corny, have a great day! Not sure what we are doing, but we did have a great night. Justin's school did a dance and we went and danced and had a lot of fun, we will post pics later!

Want to cry

I feel so bad for Emilie, it all started January 21st. The kids were really good, so we went to McDonalds to get them some ice cream. Less than 2 hours later, she had a diarrhea accident. It has not stopped since then. We took her last week to the DR office and they could not find anything wrong with her. There is no other symptom at all. No fever, no loss of weight, not dehyrdrated, no tummy aches, not lethargic, just the diarreaha. They told me to keep an eye on her and let them know if gets worse, it did not, so we did nothing except change her diet a bit. Last night she went to the bathroom and everything was normal. This morning she woke up and it was back to the runny poop. UGH It looks like I will have to keep a journal of everything that she eats from now on until we figure out what is going on. I feel so very overwhelmed that I just do not know what to do.
