Or it just doesn't matter if it is...life doesn't stop just because it gets too busy. I probably should've learned that already. So we'll just say I'm learning it again.
Update on Krysta: the nurse called today to tell us that she has a condition called "vesicoureteral reflux" [vesi-co-ureteral]. Say that fast 10 times. ha ha. It just means that urine is "refluxing" back from her bladder through her ureters into her kidneys. We will have an appointment with a pediatric urologist next Monday, where we'll find out if she has damage to her kidneys already, and whether or not she needs surgery. I'm still not clear on what will be the deciding factor either for or against the surgery. I have lots of questions for the urologist next week. :)
The poor little girl came down with a nasty cold this weekend. As if she wasn't sick and miserable enough already. What can I say? She must be a tough little cookie. The hardest thing for me has been that her kidneys still hurt her. She comes up to me, says, "Hold you?" So I pick her up, and she says, "It hurts. My back hurts Mommy." However, on a positive note, we at least know what she has and pretty soon we're going to know how to fix it. Yippee!
Tyler and Emalyn are in swimming lessons again. And loving it. Emalyn had to choose between dance lessons and swim lessons- and it really shocked me when she chose swimming. Although I have to say I am so proud that they love something that I've always loved. They are having a blast and getting very good at staying afloat and learning their strokes.
We had an eye therapy appointment for Tyler today. It was a follow-up 3 months after his graduation from eye therapy. Dr. King says that he's doing really well!! His eyes are still doing better than they were 6 months ago. He even saw 6 3-D images!!! Dr King kept saying, "oh, I'm so proud of you Tyler" over and over. We are so proud of him.
Emalyn finished her first real homework booklet last week in Kindergarten. Her teacher gave her a coupon for a free meal at Olive Garden for finishing it. So she and I got to go out to lunch just the two of us. It was the first time she's been to a restaurant that's more elegant than Wendy's, so it was a little overwhelming at first, but afterward she said it was fun. I think her favorite parts were the raspberry lemonade and the fact that we sat across from the fireplace. She also really loved the Italian music. I can't wait until she finishes her next homework book!

Poor little Krysta! but I guess she is strong, sending our love to her.
Way to go Tyler!!!!! we are so proud of you.
Nice of you Emalyn to share such a fun treat with you mom.
Amy, you should listen to the "Best day" from Taylor Swift, so cute!
I'm so happy that you know what it is. The hardest part is not knowing and having her still be in pain. Let us know right when you know, okay? I never took swimming lessons, but would have liked to. My kids will definitley take swimming lessons. I can stay afloat, and doggy paddle! That is so great for Tyler's eyes. Hooray! And, last but not least, yummy Olive Garden. Do you remember we would get Pizza Hut vouchers for reading? I would much rather have Olive Garden. I can just picture Emalyn at a fancy restaurant, so cute!
Give Krysta our love. I'm so sorry you have to suffer through that with her. My old pediatrician (the one I loved) always told me it was way worse on me than on the kids. I don't know if that helps at all.
We have a Urology center right by us, if you were looking for somewhere that's not necessarily close and convenient, but wanted to come see me so I can make you dinner. Totally worth it.
And yay! for Tyler and Emalyn! It sounds like they are doing great things. I'm glad somethings are still going well. (c:
