sickness!!!!!

Wow i havent been here for a long while! Anyhoo so all of my kids have had the flu for it like forever but thank goodness they are all better exspecially kaydin he took it the worst as always, i still have a sniffle and kirstin is still coughing but way better so to everyone i encourage you to carry sanitizer in your purses/bags . other than that my days have been pretty lazy kevs buisness is still going and were still waiting to see what happens with our house. I would personally love to move back to bonney lake or orting i luv orting too! And i have also been wanting to go back to work but need to find a job at night. Well im gonna get off

kevs wonderful day at work

Monday kev and Derek worked in rainier which is i feel the most gettoist place ever its worse than down town Seattle at night vs rainier in the middle of the day anyhow kev came out to go get something out of his truck when he noticed someone in the back of his work truck than proceeded to yell at whomever it was and kev said he scared the crap out of them and they jumped out of the truck and than he discovered there was somebody in the cab of the truck as well so he pleaded with the men to please not take his wallet and one of the men threatened to shoot kev if he got closer but they ended up taking the stereo and ran off and kev called the police and the cops found them down the road and arrested them both and they happened to both be minors and they didn't have a gun but kev said that day he decided not to take his 45 which he also told me he usually leaves in the cab of the truck which i am now grateful he didn't take it that day because they couldve used it on him and Derek missed the whole incident because he was upstairs of the house they were working on. So kevs next mission is to get his concealed weapons permit and bro-terry said he might be able to get it so well see that really scared me to think kev could have lost his life if he had taken his own gun that day Ive told him i wish he would stop working in rainier Ive been there once and told kev i would never go there again that place is scary the day i went there i man got murdered the day before like three houses down i lived in the ghetto but this place is beyond the ghetto if your not a thug,homeless,drug dealer than you better see your way out cause most likely there gonna rob you or shoot you the police told kev he would nt of cared if kev would have shot them he said the crime is overwhelming

hospital

Well kaydin and i did the 48 hr in patient EEG testing at Mary bridge and it was boring very boring but in the same sense relaxing. He had about 20 wires hooked to his head plus they put respiratory and heart monitors on him while he slept and every time he would fall asleep the respiratory machine kept going off cause his breathing was low but they said nothing worry about but all wait to ask his Doctor at the end of this month and they couldn't tell me if he has any seizers cause the Doctor said the computer has organize all the data cause their so much than it goes threw a process than the doctors have to look at it than they will call me in about 2 weeks if they find anything. Plus he has a neurology appt on the 29th of this month and the nurses were great and they have great volunteers and Julie terry called me and told me next time if i know kaydins going to Mary bridge to let her know before hand and she will make sure she comes to pay a visit the reason is they had a schedule of what was gonna be going on this month and it said "clown visit" so i assumed it was Julie terry cause i know she comes to Mary bridge ive seen her there so mom called her and she called me and said she had no idea she was scheduled to be there but anyhow i thought that was very sweet of her and some little old Lady's came around with hand made quilts and stuffed animals and kaydin got a beautiful quilt and two stuffed animals plus they gave him and boat&sand table brand new still in the box they said they cant use it and someone donated it and they said since kaydin liked boats they wanted him to have it so that was cool and the woman next to my room came over and said hi and shes a foster mom and her foster son was having the same test she said shes in the process of adopting him he was 2 yrs old and she already has 13 children 5 of which she gave birth to but the others are adopted and 4 with disabilities she gave me resources to get 400 free pull-ups a month she said if your child had a diagnoses you get free dypers and she said she had more resources and gave me her number and e-mail so i could get them i thought she was an amazing woman taking in all those kids and she so upbeat i asked her how she does it with 4 kids with disabilities she said she just does "its life" 3 of them have mild retardation but only 7 are at home at the rest are grown up and moved out have great jobs and her daughter is in collage going to be a physical therapist so she and her husband must have did a great job raising them.
Heres my sucky part of my stay Derek forgot to transfer money into the account for the paychecks and we got payed on the 30 of September which was a Tuesday and he didn't transfer money until Saturday so Monday while I'm at the hospital i go and try to purchase a cranberry juice and my card was declined so i called the bank I'm $1,100 in the whole and they told me kevs pay role check was returned so yeah I'm still pissed and my house payment bounced,my power bill bounced and its Thursday and the check still hasn't cleared and of course Derek apologized but I'm still mad not to mention i will have fees but kev said that kdp will pay Ive had to rely and mom and dad to help buy me gas,dypers and food and I'm so lucky to have a friend like like Amy who came up Tuesday and brought kaydin coloring books,candy,snacks,and toys to have fun with and she brought me Starbucks yeah i know shame on me and oh yeah she brought her great sense of humor and we hammed it up and we gossiped well we made a point to when we realized we weren't cause some people think that me and amy gossip but we don't i wont say who said that even tho who said it is one of the biggest behind your back crap talker anyhow i could care less we just thought it was humorous so we try ed to find things to gossip about but really couldn't anyhow over all besides the money deal Mary bridge was so great to kaydin and i they were so nice and they really do care about the kids and kaydin did great specially since he had to be in the bed for two days but having toys helped plus they had 5 different channels of cartoons

bike is gone

Well i sold my bike saturday and bought kev this gun hes been wanting for his birthday im kinda sad about my bike but kev said we will buy me another one next summer and we are also thinking about moving back to bonneylake so we will see what happens after we refinance our house were a little worried we might have issues with refinancing it but were praying we wont but if so we will just sell it anyhow we wanting to move back for so many reasons saving money is a big one, and we want to be closer to our family&friends and we truley miss our old ward so i hope everything will work out for us

famly

Well yesterday "my" family came over a few didnt make it but its OK it was nice to be around just my family we don't normally get together so yeah my cousin Kimmy told me she might have a tumor in her kidney which could be cancerous, and that's another thing that might being in her way of getting prego so i guess she will find out hopefully soon. Im just glad we "all" got together and cached up on stuff and reminisced about the old days and i hope we continue to keep in touch more often

kaydins appt

Well today is the long awaited appt. with the neurologist and i found out finally why he is the way he is he has two of the same cromozones so everything makes sense now and she told me that he might have slight heart issues but we will find out shes having me set up appt. with the oncology, and the cardiology pediatrician so we can get more answers and i have to take him to the hospital for his eeg test on October 6th the Doctor made it clear its important she said she thinks he could possibly being having seizures like i thought cause of his staring off into space . I thanked her and i started to cry a little because i feel like Ive waited it feels like forever to get some kind of answers i kinda felt stupid for crying but i was kinda relieved to finally know whats wrong kev did some research and i guess were lucky to have got kaydin into therapy when we did cause alot of parents didnt have that advantage and there kids situation was worse by not getting the help they needed anyhow here is some info so people can know and i dont have to repeat myself to everyone.

Information about the Potocki-Lupski (dup17p11.2) Syndrome
Individuals with the genetic condition designated as dup(17)(p11.2p11.2) (OMIM# 610883), or dup 17p carry extra genetic information (known as a duplication) on the short arm of chromosome 17.
Each cell of the body should have 23 pairs of chromosomes (22 numbered chromosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes; XX for females and XY for males) that contain the complete genetic information (genome) for the individual. When the egg and sperm cells are formed, the pairs of chromosomes are separated in a process called meiosis, so that each egg or sperm contains only one copy of each chromosome. Errors that occur during this process can result in genomic imbalances such as missing or extra genetic material. These imbalances can cause genetic syndromes that are associated with a wide variety of clinical outcomes.
Many genetic syndromes that were first described on the basis of clinical findings were later found to be caused by genomic imbalances. New high-resolution laboratory tests—known as chromosome microarray analysis or CMA can now detect these genomic imbalances even when a particular syndrome is not suspected.
Two distinct conditions result from errors in meiotic recombination involving the short arm of chromosome 17. Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS – OMIM #182290) is caused by a deletion, or loss of genetic material, on one copy of chromosome 17. This well-known syndrome is associated with developmental delay, mental retardation, congenital anomalies such as heart and kidney defects, and neurobehavioral abnormalities such as severe sleep disturbances and self-injurious behavior.
For every chromosomal deletion, there exists a reciprocal chromosomal duplication. Although the genomic mechanism for the deletion and duplication is the same, the clinical features of individuals are different. These duplication syndromes have their own distinct clinical features and should not be confused with the deletion syndromes.
Duplication of chromosome 17p11.2 – Potocki-Lupski syndrome (PTLS) (OMIM# 610883) is a newly recognized genetic condition with only a few dozen cases reported in the medical literature. Patients who have this duplication often have low muscle tone, poor feeding, and failure to thrive during infancy, and also present with delayed development of motor and verbal milestones. Many individuals who have PTLS have difficulty with articulation and language processing. In addition, patients may have behavioral characteristics similar to those seen in persons with autism or autism-spectrum disorders. Individuals with PTLS may have heart defects and sleep apnea. The facial features observed in PTLS are subtly similar between individuals but are not usually described as abnormal or striking by physicians.
While fewer than 50 persons with duplication 17p11.2 have been described in the medical literature, we know that this duplication is predicted to be observed in at least 1 in 20,000 individuals. Although PTLS is considered a “chromosomal” disorder, diagnosis is often missed on a routine chromosome analysis. Due to technological advances in cytogenetics, specifically the use of array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) for genetic diagnosis, microdeletions and microduplications can be detected with equal fidelity. Hundreds of chromosome segments can be analyzed at one time searching for chromosomal imbalances. We anticipate that many more individuals will be diagnosed with dup 17p11.2 as this testing is performed more routinely in persons with developmental delay, mental retardation, and/or autism spectrum disorder.

goverment

As "one nation under God, with liberty (freedom) and justice (fairness) for all", the
government IS attempting to do it "God's way" with so much outreach.
Are we to choose for the government to now take a blind eye to God's wishes and stop it completely? And, yet so many emails are sent to fight to keep God involved, to defend Him.
So many want to have it both ways, to talk the talk, and that is so hypocritical.

Don't forget that God designed the entire world and splashed it with all colors.
He commands us to love one another. Period.
And that should reach well beyond these racist toned emails.

Nobody is above another, except for to lift another up.



Subject: FW: TAKE DOWN THE BIRD FEEDER!


Read all the way to the end.....the message is there!















I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it is, as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table,< /B> and next to the barbecue. Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table everywhere! Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at < style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 24pt; COLOR: teal; FONT-FAMILY: 'Kristen ITC'">all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food. After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio. Soon, the back yard was like it used to be. quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.. Now let's see.< face="Tahoma"> Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, and free education and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen. Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; your child's 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English. Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to 'press one' to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than 'Old Glory' are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties. Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder. If you agree, pass it on; if not, continue cleaning up the poop

did the puyallup AGAIN!!!!!

We did the puyallup fair again we had to take the girls and wow i was pooped out by the time we were ready to leave we did rides pretty much the whole time since it was 1 per ride day which we definently took advantage of its a deal concidering that usually the tickets cost 88 cents a peice. The kids had a great time kev got sick from eating a fair burger and we met up with ted and becky and kev and te3d went on that turbo ride that right next to the sling shot ride i have pics but i cant get the computer to download the pics. I took kaydin on the haunted house ride(im such a mean mom) he freaked a little, he really doesnt like the rides so maybe next year he will like them. To top the night off we were on our wau home and i kept smelling poo it was so strong i knew something was wrong so i pulled into albertsons parking lot and kaydin decided he wanted to play in his poo(i about threw up) so i had to strip him nake din the parking lot and clean his hands with wipes while kev watched me of course. Anyhoo i think next year im only gonna go once to the fair cause man it costs an arm and a leg to eat or do anything. well better go do the mom thing

puyallup fair

Well we decided to go to the fair with amy and arron yesterday and we had a blast when we first got there arron knew some guy that owned all those stands outside the fair so we got our food half off, and me and kev went on that big metal thing next to the cling shot ride the one you can see from the freeway and it was a thrill exspecially when they stop you at the very top which was a little freaky i personally think the ride we went on was and would be way better than the sling shot cause you get more action on the ride we went on (i cant remember the name) and it only cost us $15 for both verses $50 for the sling shot we tryed getting kaydin to go on rides but he would'nt he freaked and i think its because his first ride he was on was with arron,kev, and romeo on the bears and they spined that bear way fast and he freaked so every ride after that he didn't want to go on but he did walk threw the fun maze ride or whatever its called and he liked that it was funny when you have to walk threw the mirrors to find your way to the step he ran right into the mirror it was funny anyhoo me& amy went on 2 rides the last one amy picked and i felt sick but she was luvin it. I got to learn a little about mt.rainier and the lady told me im safe livin in yelm cause were high up so that was a relief to know she also told me we have 13 active mountians in the cascades we also saw kevs cousin darin he was workin and he gave us some hats and let kaydin climb on the tracters and he watched the kiddos while we went on the ride. Poor amy was sore from walking forever! Well on our way out we stopped at the stands that arron knew who the owner was (rex) and he gave us some free cotton candy and some warm scones mmmmmmmmmmmm! i never had a fair scone hummmmy. Well we have to do this all over on monday cause the girls didn't go cause they were with there nana&papa in Vancouver so were taking them on monday cause it s $1 per ride day which is cheap cause otherwise you pay $15 for 20 tickets which wont get my family far since it takes 4-5 tickets for each ride. Im glad we have such great friends that we can always have fun with anyhow better get off we need to go to church today!

hair cut

Well today i couldn't take it anymore Ive been contemplating on getting kaydin a Mohawk hair cut because i think there soooooooooooooooooooo cute on little boys (well the suddle ones) so i took him to the salon and finally did it i didn't do a drastic one he still has hair on the sides so when i get sick of it the hair stylist said it will be an easy fix. Kev wasn't to trilled at first nor April but i think he looks cute kev says every time he sees kids with a Mohawk he thinks there parents are drug's but whatever i tryed to post pics but my batteries went dead so ill post some tomorrow.
Well hopfully tommarow we will get to go to alder lake and just go put around and do whatever the girls are with nana in vanvouver untill sunday so we only have 2 kiddos

our camping trip

Its was fun i still cant believe i jumped i thought for sure i was gonna back out but i didnt anyhow ive come to the conclusion that my kids need there own tent. and the baby really needs to be in her playpen next time all she did was cry the first night cause kev kept making me move and she was sleeping right next to me i swear the only one that slept good was kaydin i swear that kids sleeps like his dad (which is like a rock) i hope that we go alot more next summer and hopefully more of our friends and family will want to join us but if not we know that crystal and brit will be down. im glad we ended our summer with some excitement i look forward to next summer . oh yeah photos are crystal , and the other one is my daughter and britt

my sister

Well its been great having my sister here i felt like weve had fun while shes been here we have gottin to do alot of stuff and i got her working out which she loves its to bad that she wont have the oppertunity back in Ohio to work out. Weve had alot of fun with the toys an did finally have gottin the hang of the raptor and my sis loves the go-kart i hope she will be able to come back next summer and hopefully she will be able to stay the whole summer the girls keep telling me there gonna miss there aunt veronica when shes gone but there not the only ones i will miss her as well. One thing i didn't get to do was take her to Seattle but i really don't like Seattle anymore theres just to many bums to go without kev the bums are getting bolder and more out of control than ever kev got approached in federal way yesterday and the bum was getting aggressive demanding kev to give him money or buy him food kev got irritated and told him to get a job but of course derek have in and gave him money. Anyhow better go only have today to spend with my sis than were off to the airport tonight.

the dentist

Oh my gosh i went to the dentist yesterday and i have to say i have never been treated so badly before i had to get a tooth taken out that a had a root canal done on 3 yrs ago cause it was breaking off and causing me pain so yeah the dentist was seriously yanking on my mouth for a god 45 min its sucked and a could times he hit my other teeth while pushing on the one he was trying to get out which hurt even after him giving me the shot 5 times i could still feel him i could feel my jaw shifting like craaaaaaaaazy and he had my nose and lip stretched to the limit and he kept pinching my lip it hurt so bad he was really having a hard time getting it out not to mention he had to cut my gums on each side i felt he didn't care that he was being so aggressive i have never been treated like that ever i wanted to just get up and leave not to mention i kept praying that he would be done and i feel i can take alot of pain but WOW and his thug kid assistant couldn't even give me a x-ray after 6times of trying it was craaaaaaaaaaaazy I'm never going there again someone told kev about this place that they had great deals and good service what a crock of crap i was so pissed when i left not to mention how they treated my sister they got pissed cause kaydin knocked over a vase on the coffee table that had water in it WELL HELLO putting a vase with water in it on the table at children's reach is kinda stupid anyhow i hopefully will be all heeled by the time i have to do the baby shower

4th of july

We had a nice time we got there on the 3rd we stayed at paradise beach and that was the first time ive been to that area of the beach It was a nice camp ground and we didn't have to stand in line to take a shower anyhow i got to ride my toy allot and I'm getting good at it. On the 4th we went to the pine baseball game in bay center it was fun we got to see all the family and we got to ride the toys again i got to see lots of new baby's that i didnt know existed after all of that fun we went to the beach to get settled in for the fireworks and food we had some fun but it was way smokey and we ended up leaving early cause the sulfur was getting to be to much for the baby's eyes so we got back hoping to get some sleep and the house right above the camp ground was having a party and they must have decided to some threw our camp ground to get to the beach and also decided they were gonna make as much noise as possible and throw things at our cars and they ended up waking me and the baby several time so when we were getting ready to leave kev decided that we were gonna go in front of there house and honk the horn cause we assumed they would have a hang over it was funny kev honked and than yelled this is for waking my 8 month old at 3am, and than he honked again saying this is for throwing stuff at our cars, and than he honked some more saying i hope you all have hang overs it was funny one guy was looking at him threw the window anyhow i think they got the drift we were not happy about being woke up several times threw out the night. We decided next year were gonna rent a house for the weekend out on long beach i told mom(april) that i would rather rent a house instead of camping it would just be easier so that the plan for next year.
hope everyone had a great 4th

excited

Tomarrow im picking up my sister from the airport and shes staying for a month i havent seen her since 2005 i cant believe that shes 15 already. I know shes excited casue her step mom/aunt keeps her locked like a prisoner shes not aloud to do much or go anywhere, and im soooooooooooo excited about going to the beach and arron&kev finally fixed my bike saturday so we will be taking that down to have fun with as well as our dumebuggy/gokart kevs friend has one of those enclosed trailers and told kev he could use it so now we dont have to worry about leaving them at the camp spots in the wide open. Hopefully everyone will get along with eachother and no-one will break our toys cause i dont want to put anymore money into the toys anyhow better go gotsta clean clean clean

my birthday

Well wedsnday was my birthday and i had a good day kev didnt have to work. Kev watched the kids earlier in the day so i could go roller blading than he took me shopping, and than he took me out to dinner at famous daves and april and bob joined us it was nice i do know that vinces is one of my favs but for now its definently famous daves just thinking about it rite now is making me hungry. Kirstin is so sweet the morning of my birthday she looks at me and says "mom since its your birthday how about we just do whatever you want to do" i thought that was sweet. anyhow and yesterday was our 9 yr annaversary "WOW" can you believe we made it LOL! Im starting to feel old. Anyhow today is brittanys wekk baby check so im anxious to find out how much she weighs.

brittany has two teeth

I knew that another tooth would follow after her first and it did shes so stinkin cute!

update on kaydins appointment

Well i did find maybe the reason why he has thoses wered eye issues is he could be having siesures but we wont find out for sure until he see the nueroligist and am hopeing to get him asap since thats what doc.tripp wants and dr tripp doesnt think hes autistic and said most people mistake developmental delay for having autism he said hes also going to have him see another doc from uw and they will be calling me and there gonna do testing and were also gonna do some testing with the neurologist so anyhow they said if hes having these seizures that will cause him to degress but they have meds that can help so thats pretty much the downlow dr tripp told me stopp worring about his weight and hieght he said hes right in between the scale for his progression and he reasured me that we will eventually find whats wrong with kaydin he told me theres always a reason for a child being developmental delayed sometimes the doc dont have the technology to figure it out right away but he said we will find out
so hopefully sooner than later
