Update:
Addy was admitted into the hospital yesterday morning. She was dehydrated from all of vomiting and diarrhea. She had to get the IV in her head, not a shock of course but it ended up coming out this morning. She had an ok night, very restless and whiny. No more vomiting but continues the runny stools. She test negative for Rotavirus but I don't know if it showed anything else. I came home at 6 this morning so I could go to work (which was very difficult after not having sleep for two nights) and Scott is with her now and most likely staying tonight to give me a break, I am totally exhausted. Please continue to lift my little one up in prayer that she will be home very soon.

Please Pray
Addy is sick, she's been vomiting and has now started diarrhea. I didn't blog last year so most of you don't know how bad this can be for her. She ended up in PICU both times she had this illness last year. Please pray that she is stronger this time and can stay hydrated and out of the hospital.

Snow day #4
We are home again for another snow day. It's okay by me because my Friday schedule is pretty hectic and I don't mind missing it! The boys are beginning to get on each others' nerves which is making me nuts! Last night I took Jarika and her friend Lizzy to Rogersville for a basketball game. We played really well. We tied it at 61 and went into overtime, however, we ended up losing 69-67. That stunk. It was nice getting out of the house for a bit though! Lizzy spent the night and Jarika's boyfriend showed up at 6 am for the second time this week! His dad brings him over before he heads to work. Do you remember when you were a teenager and you thought you were so in love with someone that you couldn't possibly go a day without seeing them? He's an awesome kid and he's fun to have around and Jarika is happier than I have seen her in a long while! Addy has been screaming all morning. Not I'm upset screaming, just screaming to her herself scream! She has a new speech therapist coming this afternoon and she'll probably be as quiet as a mouse then! Well wish me luck, I am so unlike the majority of you reading this that get to spend all of their time at home with their kids! I get all out of kilter!! I'm fine during the summer because that's the plan, I'm always home in the summer, but having to stay inside because it's too cold to go out just makes me crazy!!

Addy in the snow
After spending about 15 minutes layering Addy up I took her out into the snow for about 2 minutes. She like the snow, laughed when I threw and whatnot but HATED her coat, mittens and hat. I added pix of what she hated the most: TIGHTS! She instantly pulls socks right off of her feet and she was NOT happy that she couldn't get the tights off!
Here mom, take these off!

Updates
I haven't been blogging too much since I have been pretty much one armed but I thought I had enough to share about today. We are having a snow day!! Just like about 300+ schools in the area!!! It was horribly slick after school yesterday so I am so glad that we are all home. Well, Scott's at work (he did call to let me know he made it safely, I'm so proud of him, he's growing up!) but the kiddos and I are home.
My shoulder is doing really well. I got my stitches out, things look really good and the bruising is much better. If only I could get all of the pre-surgery writing and iodine off! I was supposed to have PT today but they called and canceled which is okay by me, I didn't want to have to drive to Springfield today. I am able to move my arm really well with just a little discomfort. I can tell that the surgery took care of all of the pain I was having before, it's gone! I am so thankful for that, I feel so much better!
Addy's diaper rash is much improved as well there is no more bleeding, thank goodness. Thank you to everyone that gave suggestions! I pretty much did all of them so I'm not sure what really worked. Her dr. office did give me the ok to give her a touch of Imodium too. We slathered on Nystatin, Desitin and Bag Balm every diaper change. I had forgotten about the Bag Balm which is wierd because that is what her surgeon had me put on her when he created her anus so it should have been a given! I have only given her a couple of baths with Aveeno in them but I think it may have helped a little as well. I also added rice cereal, bananas and applesauce to her formula through her g-tube. I knew I couldn't get enough in her if we tried by mouth. She is taking things by mouth, just not much. Her daycare teachers are awesome! They are working with her feeding everyday. They put her next to a couple of other babies during mealtime and it appears that she may just be figuring this whole thing out, and we aren't doing this feeding thing for pure torture reasons!Her hair is getting so long, I'm gonna have to break down and go have it cut again. I put it up all over today, not the best job, but I do only have one full working arm!
Cooper has started piano lessons and is loving it. He is already playing several songs, he is so awesome! Jarika was supposed to take him to lessons last night but the ice had already started so she made a wise choice and stayed home. Therefore, Cooper being the Aspie he is made sure that he played his songs during his scheduled 30 minute lesson time. Man I wish I was that disciplined sometimes!!! However, on a snow day he will probably be doing this as much as he can today:
Avery is Avery. What more can I say. These pix show the evidence of him. Soccer ball stuck in the basketball goal and chairs lined up under the tree he climbed the other night and got stuck. So here I was, one armed bandit trying to help my 75lb son out of a tree without putting any weight on my left side and trying desperately not to fall. We did it, sorta. Some weight went to my left side but I was okay but was really wishing that Scott was home from work and Jarika wasn't cheering at a ball game!! Today I am sure this is how I will see this little guy all day:
He and Cooper finally spent their Christmas money from Grandmama after church on Sunday. They each bought three new DS games and some new stylus' so they're going to be well entertained. I know, not very brain stimulating, but hey it's a snow day and they both have straight As okay???
My lovely Jarika is a little under the weather but is doing well. She has a new boyfriend that we just adore. His name is Utah. Yes like the state :) He is a freshman and starts on the Varsity bball team. He's six one and wears a size 14 shoe!! He pretty much spent all weekend over here and Scott decided that since we will eventually have two huge teenage boys to cook for he ought to practice. Scott loves to grill so even though it was 20 some odd degrees outside he did this:
and man was it yummy!!!!! And yes we did have some leftover! This is how I will see Jarika for most of the day. Which is an okay thing since she is fighting a cold!
