Little bruisers

Thursday September 27, 2012

Keagan and Ari had a great day. They played in the bounce house all afternoon. They are so much alike its funny. They jumped, fell, slid, rolled and bounced out of the bounce house and laughed the entire time.

outpatient clinic visit

Monday September 24, 2012

Aaron is finally home. He went to the Dr today and we ended up in the outpatient clinic. He was lathargic, not eating or drinking, hadn't had a wet diaper all day and was very cold.  They found out that his heart rate had dropped to 68 and his body temp was only 94.2. So they sent us to the clinic for some labs, an antibiotic (via IV) and a bolus of normal saline. Once he got some fluids he stated feeling better and his labs came back fine. His body temp stayed low but he seemed to perk up some while we were there. His Dr sent him home since his labs were good and so far he has been doing better. He drank 8 oz and is now sleeping peacefully. Hopefully he will continue to improve and start eating soon.

Homeschool

Friday September 21, 2012

I have been thinking about homeschooling the boys for awhile. After today I am really going to look into it for Aaron and Taevon. Today Taevon came home with a bruise under his chin and a cut inside his mouth. His afternoon bus driver (that I just adore) said they told her that Taevon was really quiet at school. When he saw me his face just lit up and he started bouncing in his chair and had the biggest smile. She couldnt believe that change in him. I understand that these things happen so I opened his communication book to see how he hurt his chin. It said "Taevon had a good day today" and that was it. There was nothing in it about him being quiet or how he hurt his chin. That made me upset. Taevon can't tell me what happened or anthing about his day. I rely on this communication book to let me know how he is doing. I called the school and spoke with his teacher. I told her I was just wondering how he hurt his chin. She said "I don't know, he didnt fall." She never mentioned asking any of the 3 helpers in the class. How do they not know what happened to him. She said he was on the floor with another child but didn't think anything happened, that he went to all of his classes and nothing happened. Are there too many children in the class and not enough help? Why was he in the floor with another child unattended? He cant talk or move to get away from another child, there should have been an adult right there with him. Somone should know how it happened. Some how he hit his chin hard enough to leave a bruise and to make him cut the inside of his mouth. Now I am wondering if anyone was even there to pick him up and hug him when he cried. I know he cried because he had streaks down his cheek from crying.  It makes me sad to think he was hurt and nobody was there. I am looking forward to the visit with my caseworker next week to talk about homeschooling my little angels.

basketball

Nicholas is playing basketball again. He LOVES it this year. He is on the lime team with one of his friends. He had a clinic by the MAD ANTS and got some autographs.  He loves to play defense and this year is looking forward to making lots of baskets. I am looking forward to his first game next week.






"Johnny seed apple festival"

Sunday September 16, 2012

Nicholas and Keagan went to the Johnny Appleseed Festival which they call the "Johnny Seed Apple Festival" :) They love to play all of the games and to go through the maze. They had a great time and Keagan got to enjoy some rootbeer which he called"rootie".

birthday party

Sunday September 16, 2012









Nicholas had his family birthday party today. He was so excited to have the house decorated. Poor Aaron still is not feeling good. His temperature has been very low (between 95.9 and 96.3). He spent most of the day wrapped in his blanket being rocked by grandma. Hopefully he will start feeling better soon.
