Umm, Yeah - No!!

Umm, Yeah - No! That is Max's FAVORITE words to say right now, I don't know why. LOL very funny, I guess its "kinda - sorta" for him! He is slowly talking more and more, he is funny. He went to the Audiologist today and had his hearing checked and he is where he should be for those who have had Chemo damage their hearing. So he is right on track, and we don't have to go back for a year!! Yayyy!!!

So now all we have to worry about his appointment at the PATCH Clinic, on the Feb 9, 2010 and his next MRI on Feb 12, 2010. Hopefully they will find out what that "spot" is above his right eye, I am hoping and Praying its just what they said it it... "mucus"!! So hope annd pray with us also.

So thats about what all is goin on here - except we are suppost to get a BIG Snow Storm this weekend. We will see!! If there is a "mention" of Snow.... All of Tennessee Shuts down, mainly because they don't have the trucks and plows and stuff to keep the roads clean! hahaha


SO Until next time.... Everyone stay safe and warm!!

OFF THE BOTTLE!!!

Ok So... Tonight is # 3 Night WITHOUT the Bottle for Max-a-moo.... I so didn't want to do this, not this soon. My little Boy is growinng up too fast! But he is doing good without asking for it. He just tells me that "Ho" has his bottles.... "Ho" is Ho-Ho, aka Santa Claus. LOL At Christmas we told Max that Santa had to take his Bottles and give them to other little boys and girls who didn't have bottles. SO thats where he thinks his bottles have gone!

SO I guess, thats that! He just has a Sippy Cup with Milk as he is going to bed! Ohh Joy! Now we just have to work on Potty Training!! That I think will be easy, since he is already trying to tell us that he has to go "PEE" and "POOP"!!! And he actually goes "Pee and Poop" on the big toilet!

Anyway, things are going good with Max's Therapy's, His Alleregy Test came back ALL NEGATIVE!! Max is NOT Allergic to anything!! So that is a BIG Relief on me, he can now eat EGGS and Wheat, and Dairy, and Peanuts! And Max is NOT Allergic to Dust Mites, Cats or Dogs. SO he can run and play with the Dogs in the house, as he already has, and Max just LOVES his puppy J.D. Max runs around saying, "Chase, Chase" meaning he wants J.D. to "Chase" him around and she usually does!! Max just giggles and giggles when she "Chases".

So Until Next time! XOXO

Ohh it will be ok....

Well, our New Years was great! We were in bed by 10:30pm, I stayed up until 2010. I did attempt to roll over and give my Hubby a Kiss, and he snorted and rolled over. He was alseep by 11:00pm. Happy New Year to me!! So I kissed Max's forehead instead!! LOL

Well, On Saturday we went to the Hockey Game in Nashville... All 15 of us! It was so fun! I love my SMASHVILLE Predators!!

So then on Sunday, Max had a cough and then he ran a fever of 101.2 I gave him Tylenol and fluids, and kept him pretty comfortable. As evening came, he was ok. But, he was breathing fast and his breathing was contracting with every breath he took, and he just didn't look right, so we were still concerned about his fever, so we called Vanderbilt Childrens Hosptial and they said he would be fine, that we may want him to see his Pedatrician in the morning. Max went to bed at like 8:00pm, He still had the cough, and he got coughing bad and woke up. So, he was still HOT and so we gave him some Tylenol and gave him a bottle (YES!! I know I'm a BAD BAD BAD Mommy!!!) he still has a bottle.

But he was in him Nana's arms and she was rocking him, and he threw up all over her. So I just said.... "We are goin to Vanderbilt now...." My mother-in-law kept telling me he was fine and no need to go to the Hospital because it was Midnight when we were getting ready to go, But I had my Mother's Instinct. And we went to Nashville, we got to Vanderbilt, and got checked in. And then Max got triaged and checked into a room, we spent the night in the ER with him. The Doctors examined Max, he knows how to do it, he sticks out him tounge for them to look in his mouth, he turns his head so they can look in his ears, he lifts up his shirt so they can listen to his chest and lungs and heart, and he likes the doctors. Finally, Max was diagnosed with Broncalspams. Kinda like Asthma, but he is still too young to have Asthma. He required a breathing treatment. And that did the trick, it broke up what ever he had in his chest that was making him "rattle" and cough so much.

So we were sent home with a Asthma Inhaler and a Chamber to use as needed when he coughs and wheezes, and Steriods... the Steriods make him sick. But we only have to give him them once a day for 4 days. He seems better now, and only has a random cough. We had a follow up Doctor Appointment on Tuesday, which it checked out GOOD!!

So now our next Appointment is for the Allergy Specialist on Jan 12. Wish us LUCK!!

Christmas Is Finally Over......

I am really peeved that I can not upload pics on here. I think when Tax time comes... I will might get me a new Laptop or Desktop!

And then maybe I could upload some more pictures!! I took alot of pics with my cell phone and I have uploaded them onto my Facebook page, so if you have me on your Facebook you will be able to see us!

Anyway-- Max got TONS of Tractors.... John Deere and Case Tractors... He woke up to lots of toys and presents. A day before Christmas... Max had opened the box that my Dad and Janell had sent us by UPS. And he opened the present.... which was a John Deere Blanket!! That was so way cool!!! Which she knows that Max likes John Deere Tractors!! So she got him a book and a shirt and a... John Deere Tractor!!! ALL John Deere stuff!! And he got the cutest little pair of PJ's that said.... "ON SANTA'S GOOD LIST" ohh so cute! And sooo NOT true!! hahaha

So Max has been talking about getting a Disc for Christmas.... a part that goes on the Tractor. IDK. So he got his Disc and a bunch of other stuff that goes on his Tractors. And he got a big Dump Truck and a big Loader... and soo much more.

We did have a Christmas Sleepover with Aunt Melissa, Uncle Chris, Kait and Zack! Uncle Troy, Aunt Tammy, Ashley and Lauren. They came to sleep over on Wednesday Night, and then got up the next morning to eat breakfast and hang out and played games and XBox and Guitar Hero... and then Aunt Marcia and Jonathon and Kyle and Amanda came to eat Christmas Supper/Snacks/Desserets.... and more!!!

Then later that day we opened Presents.... it was fun!! Max got alot of clothes and some books and toys, which was good. I got a very cool Titans Purse... (Tennessee Titans Football Team!) and a pair of Titans Earrings. And new PJ's!! And alot more from my hubby.

My hubby got his games for the XBox 360 that he wanted including "The Beatles" I honestly don't know their songs, but I did play it some.

Anyway-- I have to say that this year has been the best yet!! Dispite a few down points. But this has been the healthiest year ever, and Max's Presents to My Parents and Janell.... were centered around "Cancer-Free" Max gave his Papa Owen a Hat that I had embroidered "Papa Owen" with a little "Purple" Cancer Ribbon on the back of it. And I sent both My Mom and Janell Add-a-bead Bracelets. With their Birthstones and a Family Bead. They were all out of Cancer Ribbon Beads so I will have to send them one when I find one, I also got a Add-a-bead Bracelet also, with a Mother Bead on it.

So now we are ready to Celebrate New Years Eve.... at Uncle Troy and Aunt Tammys House. And then we are off the the Hockey Game on Jan 2nd!! Yayyyy!!!

Is it Christmas yet??

Max has a Feeding Therapy today at Bill Wilkerson Center at 1:00pm, I thought it was going to be at 11:30am, so I hurried up and got ready and everything and was waking Max up when my cell phone rang, I answered and I lost the call, so whomever called back and left a voicemail, saying that Max's appointment was at 1:00pm...... ohh geezz!!! Well I guess it will be ok, time to kill and alot of it. So I'm blogging!! I don't have a very interesting life, I mean I do, but my stupid laptop will not upload pictures so yall can't see how interesting OUR life really is. We do laugh and we laugh ALOT!! So anyway--

Ok, So I'm so excited for Christmas and for Max to see what Santa has brought him. :D So anyway, we were trying to get Max to cooperate and help clean up him toys and put things back where they belong to kinda help out. And we asked him what Santa told him to do so that Santa can bring him LOTS of Tractors.... and Santa told Max, that Max had to be 'nice'... so we always ask Max.... What did Santa say to you.

So Max does pretty good at helping out, he just needs to learn to help feed the Puppy and his Fish, So its ok. I don't mind... really I don't. I take the puppy out to go potty and poopy and she runs around outside and plays with the other dog. And she won't mind me when I call her to come in, I was chasing her all around the yard, ohh how I wish I was younger I could have caught her in one swipe, instead it took like 7 swipes and a fall down to get her! LOL She really is a cute little puppy... that silly ol' JD! Who would have know a little boy could name his girl puppy JD - after a John Deere Tractor!! LOL Too cute!

Ok so I guess I should get my stuff together and get Max ready by that time it should be about time to go.... maybe. Have a Great Monday!!

LOL People are just... I don't know....

Ok, So I have this friend and her little boy has some SERIOUS Health issues. Like 3-4 Seizures a day. And they don't know what is causing them. We would have had our babies like 2 weeks apart if her baby hadn't been way premature... by 2 1/2 months. He was born July 11, 07 and Max was born Sept 7, 07.

Well her and her baby have been over to Vanderbilt Childrens Hosptial since last Tuesday and they can't seem to figure out why or what is causing his Seizures. So yesterday she was updating everyone on Facebook. And I guess they have to wait for her little boy to have a seziure to see what he looks like when he is having one. Sad. So I guess they had to run some tests on him today and have a MRI done, so while they were waiting for this special little boy to have a seizure... she posted "Waiting for *Mark* to have a seziure so we can go home". Mark by the way is not his real name. But the next Facebook post was.... "Mark had a Seizure, Yayy!!!" How crude and rude is that??? This poor little innocent little boy is struggling and his Mom posts that!! I just can't get over it! I text her and gave her a "piece of my mind" even if she didn't like it. I would NEVER ever in my right mind post that! And would I EVER write "yayy" about my Special needs baby having a Seizure!! I mean I write "yayy" when we are done with a Chemo treatment or he did good on one of his procedures... its like me saying "yayy" they found another spot or cancer in him. I don't know.... it really had bothered me badly. I feel so bad for this little boy. And then on top of that.... Her and the baby's daddy are fighting and its posted all on her Facebook page... how REALLY IMATURE is that!! Calling the other names and fighting while she and her baby are in Vanderbilt... the Hosptial for really really REALLY sick kids!! Do they not have a Heart? Or are they just self-centered?? I don't get it!

So on a happier note.... We are HAPPY and We LOVE Life and Life is Good this Holiday Season!

Yes, it was a MONDAY!!!

Yeah it was a nightmare yesterday to take Max to get his pictures taken, me and my mother-in-law went to take Max to Olan Mills. Well we thought it would be grea to have a new picture taken for Christmas.

Yeah right!!! Great Idea!!! Well it went fine up until Max had to go back to get his taken, the lights scared him, I think that he thought he was at the Doctors, and he just got scared and cried alot, it took me awhile to get him to cooperate with me and the picture lady, I had to tell Vicki to go out of the room, because Max just wanted her. So I told her to leave. lol I felt bad, but if I didn't do it, Max just wanted her and wanted to leave.

Finally after I had to give Max a Quarter and 3 dollars.... he finally agreed to sit up there and smile like a Monster!!! How cute is that going to be!! LOL After he seen that he was NOT at the Doctors he then cooperated a little bit more. And we blew bubbles for him so he could smile. Ohh these pictures are goin to be so cute, unfortunantly we won't be able to post them on here, because of the copyright!!

Anyway-- Max has a EUA on Thursday a little procedure to see if there are any "seeds" in his right eye from the Unilateral Retinoblastoma. Last time there was NOT any and in his last MRI there was NO Cancer either. So Pray with us again that there is NO Cancer or Evidence of Disease!! Thank you very much!!
