Sea of Green Life

Happy Thanksgiving! So we were going to have ham, because we don't prefer turkey, but it was hard throughout the week to keep talking about turkey day with no turkey so we go one. We'll head out to Colvill hopefully for lunch hopefully as long as I get the stuff started for dinner here. Today AnnaBelle and Genevieve made turkey headdresses with me at daycare. AnnaBelle wore hers most of the day.

Our pumpkins have been way past ripe for some time now. We've moved them to various spots around the yard to see if they will sprout next year like in our book, Pumpkin Jack. Sara went in for the cardiologist testing, she said my heart sounded fine and she ordered an ultrasound done. It was an "Echobubble" at the end, they squirted some mixture that was all shook up and full of bubbles through an IV to see if all the bubbles make it to both sides of the heart. Kind of interesting. Not the 20 minute and 6 poke IV fiasco though. Where do we go from here? We keep praying and going where we are lead. We have complete trust in the team that has seen me. There has been some improvement lateley, but we don't know if it's from the weather or what. We just thank God for it. Even if all symptoms go away tomorrow, it will still be some time before I drive again. Just to make sure I don't create a two ton hazard. AnnaBelle is still wonderfully potty trained, even tho

I'm calling it official. AnnaBelle is potty trained. YEAH! We have 0-1 accidents in a day, unless we are playing with water, then she almost always has one. Something about watching water pouring.... She is dry sometimes at nap and never at night, but the daytime thing is big enough! Today was also her first pig tails! We didn't think there could be a kid with less hair than Genevieve and then there was AnnaBelle! Here is her first pigtails at 22 months! Otherwise we are still trucking. And no there is no new news for the car thing.

AnnaBelle pretending to count during hide and seek with our friend Kam. they both need to work on not peaking! More later, out of battery! Well Genevieve isn't smiling but I finally posted a picture. this is Grandma's day at daycare.

When I got in touch with the Dr. up at the clinic, she suggested an transportable EKG (heart monitor) and a meeting with the cardiologist. I'm sure this will be normal too. On the way to Rochester it was 65 degrees so we obviously didn't have the heat on and I sat in the back seat hoping it would make a differnce. One or the other-did. I made it six hours and was only slightly foggy, if I didn't keep my mind engaged by moving or talking, I felt the effects--just really worn down. I turned the heat on and we had to stop with in 5 minutes because I stopped functioning, same thing as before, the feeling of going under anestesia but having it take a really long time. I got out sat in the parking lot (and apparently got a few looks) and got back in with no problem. That night, I tried sitting in the front seat (this is friday 11/6) and was really trippy head spinning, "look at the lights, man" When we got to walmart or target? I had a hard time walking in the store bec

Feeling discouraged, but I didn't yell at anyone, mostly. The test was normal. The nuerologists official opinion was stay out of the car, even though it is now 10 different cars. I put in a call to my primary to see what happens now. Otherwise Hearts at Home Conference tomorrow, a fun car ride to be sure. I could fester and be grumpy, but we are bobbing to "Go Fish" Bible Book Bop. Sara

Along with my friend Renee, we too do a lot of laundry as AnnaBelle is in underwear. Yes we know way early, but she decided to go diaperless and we follow. The problem comes that she wants to go on HER time and gets mad when you suggest it. Which is usually 10 minutes prior to her waiting to long. A work in progress. Gevie, knows that the car makes me sick, at first she thought I wore the mask because of the dog hair in the car. We haven't told her much and she sits behind me so doesn't see me basically falling asleep. I want to make a video so people stop asking, so what happens? I go on drugs and then part of my brain passes out and I can't move. Apparently, after 30 minutes I "wake up." And have memory loss. I won't know anything about anything until the nuerologist McKee reviews the results on Thurs. The office called me today and said the results were in and another nuero read it, but couldn't draw anything conclusive, he did say there were some anomi
