Home Sweet....Motel?What?!

Well I wish I could say that it was a long drive, and we're all tired, but we're home. Unfortunatly I can't say that.

What I can say is that we've had bad news and good news in the last 24 hours.

First off with the bad news: Kaitlynn's new helmet wasn't made correctly, and didn't fit her at all!!!!! I had a bad feeling when the helmet guy brought it in, and it was the same shape as her head is currently. Normally her helmets are a squareish round.(I know, not really explaining it but it's the best I can do!) Well they talked me into thinking it was okay.

We headed off to see our Neurosurgen, and he takes one look at it, and says this isn't right. We've got to fix it. So he was headed any ways to Flordia where they make her helmets, and was going to personally make sure her's was correct this time!!!!!

Now we're stuck here in San Antonio until Friday.

For the good news!!!!! THIS IS OUR LAST HELMET!!! Yes I'm screaming it from the roof tops, and yes you did hear me correctly! LAST ONE!!!!! WHOO HOO!!! We will just have to come back two years post surgery, which will be in January of 2010. When we out grow this new one we won't have to come back!! It was the best news we got this whole trip

I was worried about her Cephalex index having not changed, and Dr. Jimenez eased my mind. He measured my head, and my Cephalex was at 71%..Kaitlynn's is 73%...which means Kaitlynn's head is rounder than mine!!!!! AMAZING! (Joel was quite pleased about this and keeps teasing me!!!) He also measured Joel's (80%) and MacKenzie's (75%), and from looking at Dahrran's he's concluded that Kaitlynn has my head, and the older two have Joel's! Pretty neat if you ask me!j

So here we are couped up in the motel for another day with a screaming infant, cranky preschooler, and pestering schooled child!!!! Kaitlynn's cutting teeth, MacKenzie is whinny for no reason other than she wants to go home, and Dahrran is SOO bored with everyday routine it's not even funny! We're trying to keep them busy!!!

Calls that End in Tears

First things first, I know I'm late, but Happy Halloween everyone. The kids had a blast tonight, and got loaded with lots of looks to be good stuff! I'll probably get pictures up when we get back. Dahrran was an Elephant, MacKenzie and Kaitlynn were butterflies! TOO CUTE!


We're headding out bright and early in the morning, or shall I say in a few minutes it will be this morning! The alarm is going off at 4:30, and it's almost midnight! I still have a little bit of packing to do yet when we get up!


So yeah, but boy do I have a story for you! So today I was getting ready to head out the door to get $$$$ and munchies for the trip when I got a call from our Neurosurgery clinic. I figured they were confirming our appointment for next week, like they always do. Well they were, but they were also informing me that the place where we get our helmets done, will no longer be doing them....and that on Monday morning we are to report to the hospital instead. Okay, well the stupid nurse knows NOTHING other than that, and will not give me anymore information. I'm so confused at this point because I had no idea! So finally the head nurse calls me back and explains it all to me. . . when I ask her more questions, she has no answers for me! OIGH! SO needless to say I don't really know what all we're in for this time around. I hope it goes smoothly, and easy, but I'm just not sure!
