OK so I am not very good at updating my blog but I am going to try. The holidays went well. Santa brought us a Wii for Christmas. ( we actually won it at my hunny's Christmas party) We have alot of fun with it. My kids continue to grow like weeds. Jamie is only about an inch shorter than I am. Ciara's rheumatologist is going to start her on Orencia, it is a T-Cell inhibitor. She has Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and her inflammation levels on her blood work have been consistently out of norm for a few months now. What a process that is going to be, first off we have to take her in to have a TB skin test done and to do more blood work to make sure she is immune to Hepatitis B. Meanwhile her doc is getting the approval for the drug from the insurance company. Once it starts she will have to go into the Rapid Treatment Unit at Primary Childrens Medical Center Every two weeks for two weeks then every month. I am looking forward to this in hopes that it works well for her. I'm not looking forward to the anxiety of my poor baby girl when it comes to needles of any kind. If she can't poke herself with it she has major issues. Can't say that I blame her....He has been through alot in her short little life.

Ok I'm done with talking about that because it stresses me out. The pictures I will post are from Thanksgiving and Christmas. Hope everyone stays safe and happy in 2009!

Ok ok ok! I swore I wouldn't create a blog but here I am writing one. Just a quick scoop on the "fab four", Andi just finished her first semester in the Cosmetology program at SLCC, she got a 4.0! Jim is working a an assistant store director for Smith's grocery stores. He may complain about it all the time but we all know that he truly enjoys what he does. Jamie, he's 11, is in 5th grade and is doing great, he's even getting good grades! Way to go boy, keep up the great work! Ciara is our little sweetheart, she's 9, she's in 3rd grade and loves every minute of it! Jim had a health scare this past week, he came home from work and informed me that the right side of his face had been numb since he woke up for work that morning. We took him to the ER (after I had a freak out moment). They diagnosed him with Bells Palsy which is a temporary paralysis of the face that lasts anywhere from tow to four weeks, prescribed him Prednisone, Acyclovir(anti viral), Eye ointment and sent us on our way. Thank goodness it wasn't anything more serious than that. His face is a little droopy and he has a crooked smile but other than that he is ok! THANK GOD!!!! I will post pics of him and other stuff.
