A Rough Start!!

So on Monday Kendall started running a fever...we thought due to teething. So Tuesday her fever was getting higher and higher even with Ibuprofen, so of course this landed us at the pediatrician's office. After blood work, and urine tests (which they had to get by Cathing her...no fun) we find out that she has a Kidney infection!!!! Scary! so she was given a shot of antibiotics and some to take by mouth at home for the next ten days...then they told us that they were sending a culture of her urine to the hospital lab for testing.
So they called me today and told me that it was in fact a Kidney infection and that they are going to refer us to Children's for further tests, because its not normal for her to have a Kidney infection at 8 months old and they need to find out why she is having them. Their number one suspect is Kidney Reflux.
Its hard not to cry and be sad that one of my precious babies might have a problem or possibly need surgery...but then I have to say if this is the only health problem that any of my children have then we need to thank the good Lord and move on.
I do have to say that I do feel especially bad because its Kendall. Kendall (technically our baby) has had a rough start. they were born two months premature and so they stayed in the NICU for six weeks. During this six weeks Kendall contracted a MRSA staff infection and had to have a cyst on her wrist drained, and had to be put into an isolation room away from all the other babies (even her sister) and we had to wear these special gowns and gloves to touch her. So when they got home they got RSV. Then Kendall's hemangeoma ulcerated and would not heal and caused her EXCRUCIATING pain!! So she went to Children's to have surgery to have that removed. Then she got a break for a few months and two weeks ago she got tonsillitis..and now a Kidney infection...probably caused by and underlying issue.
I just hope that her issue isn't severe and after this she gets a very long break! She deserves it!!

Overworked!!

So to fill everyone in here, Jake (my hubs) goes to work everyday (well M-F) at 3:30 a.m. and most people who have the unpleasant task of going to work that early usually get to go home around 2. Well not Jake. On a normal day he will get home anywhere between 3:30 and 6. Well tonight I am typing this blog at 8:45 and he is still at work!!! Yes, this is due to circumstances that aren't normal but still...Am I the only one who feels that this is a bit ridiculous?? what is even crazier is that my husband is one of the bosses! The "workers" under my husband are about at useless as a refrigerator in an igloo! He is totally in a "if you want it done right do it yourself" situation. So because he is overworked that spills over into me being overworked. I mean the "assistants" that he has are all at home with their families tonight. All I can say is that the people that work for him better be glad that I am not in charge of hiring and firing at that place because they would all be unemployed!! well I guess I am finished ranting about this....That is all.

Girls, Girls, Girls...................

So I haven't written in a while, but my life is INSANE. Tonsillitis went running through all the members of our house like wildfire, which meant everyone had a trip to the doctor. While experiencing this I got to thinking about the extra cost of having twins that we didn't see coming. Sure, when we were told that we were having twins at our eight week sonogram, we thought of the obvious-double diapers, double formula and baby food..etc. but its the things like double co-pays at the check-ups...that's right, when we go for the nine month check-up in July it will be two co-pays, even though its one appointment time and one exam room used. Double the laundry detergent...every time I turn around I need more laundry detergent, because of double the laundry, double the times the dishwasher is ran...they do use alot of bottles. Its funny the things you overlook in the excitement of it all. But the upside to all of that is I do get double the giggles, double the kisses and double the hugs. and I add that to the wonderful big sister they have. but as I look into our future, looking at things like triple the PMS, triple the boy trouble and triple the clothes...I think I'm gonna need a life preserver because we are going to be drowning in the drama!!!
