Update

Here is a note from Debi -

"Just wanted to make sure people know they have until tomorrow...as I am waiting for my therapist for my son to get an order to me in the morning. :)Also, to be clear...the party total is around $600, I don't know what your percentage is, so more purchases would be fabulous!!!!"


Also, just an update on Carson~

Tonight around 6pm Carson was outside playing and tripped and hit her head right where she had surgery. She did bust it open and we were on the phone with CHW.
The on call NS wanted us to drive down to Milwaukee to have it looked at But, also gave us permission to go to the ER here and have a doc look at it to see if it needed more stiches.
I was able to hunt down a local Neuro surgeon and he agreed to meet us here in the ER.

WHEW!

Anyhow, he sealed her up with derabond and off we went. Hopefully, she will not have any other issues.

Nearing the $600.00 mark.

Happy to see ELMO!

I am NOT happy to be in this bed, but I'll fake it!

Ouch - It's out!

Home

WE ARE HOME!!!

We had a horrific experience with the removal of the probe and screw. Essentially they removed all of it and put in a few stiches without any pain meds. It was so hard as a parent to watch , but knew I had to help console her.

Anyhow...... WE ARE HOME!

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.

Hugs!

Update

Hi all, it's Molly. Just wanted to post an update on Carson.

I heard from Cindy just after she went into surgery at 8am, and she wanted me to let you all know that she couldn't access blogger, but would post updates on their Caringbridge website. I have not heard from her as of 10:30am, but keep an eye on Caringbridge for something soon.

Hope all is well!

Switch-o, Change-o

Nothing ever goes easy for our family.

Today CHW called to let us know that a brain tumor case has been squeezed into our NS schedule and asked if Carson could start at 8:00a. Sure no problem. That only means that we have to check in at 6:30....at the latest, AND that we will have to leave home NO later than 4:45am. YUCK!
If all goes well, she should be in recovery by 9am.
I will hunt down a computer while she is in surgery and post updates.

Thanks for everyones thoughts and prayers.

Off to bed....

My scary, crazy, emotional, exciting week

This is going to weirdest emotional roller coaster week I have had in a long time!

My week actually started yesterday with Keegan not feeling well. He vomited, he had a 102 temp, he hadn't urinated in over 12 hours, and we made a 5 hour visit to the ER - all to find out he was dehydrated. Today, he is doing much better.

Today, I cleaned inside and outside my house like a "mad" woman. Tomorrow, I will do the same.

Tuesday, Carson and I will head down to CHW at 6:45 am, to be ready for pre op at 9:15 am. Surgery is scheduled for 11:15 am. I am hoping to god we are home by Friday - I will explain in just a moment.

Wednesday, a blog friend of mine, Debi at Who says 8 is enough?, is hosting a virtual Discovery Toy party. She is doing it as a benefit for our family. Please CLICK the button on my sidebar to check out Debi's page and support discovery toys, and our family.
THANKS DEBI!

Thursday, I am HOPING that Carson will be discharged and we'll be headed for home.

Friday, one of my BEST friends, Molly , and her family will be arriving for a weekend of FUN! Despite my crazy week, I am throwing Molly a "Baby Bath"!! (That's what I am calling a third pregnancy "shower"). A few of my girlfriends who also "stalk" her blog, will help me throw this for her.
I can't wait. It should be a great time. I will be in need of some laughs by that time.

So, that is my busy, crazy, emotional week.

I sure hope I survive it!
