Early Birthday Present & almost ER trip!!

Nevaeh got a early birthday present today from her Aunt Regina. She couldn't wait till Sunday at her party to open it. She snuck in the other room and opened it. It was a Barbie w/ her dog Tanner. You feed the dog and he poops. LOVELY!! But she really wanted it. Well the new Barbie and her dog almost caused us a trip to the ER!! Nevaeh decided to stick a piece of the poop in her ear. And at first I couldn't get it out but luckily I finally got it. Just thought I would share!

Happy Thanksgiving & Happy Birthday Amanda!!

Hope everyone has a Happy Turkey Day!! We are having some friends over for dinner.

Another dinner out!

This time it was with Baxter. Same restaurant as last time, Terra. We got to try out the new Baxject II. I liked it but am thinking the BioSet from Kogenate still works for us. While we were there we got to meet a new "hemo" family. We are no longer the newbies on the block. They have a 13 month old daughter with Severe Hemophilia A, who was just diagnosed in August. A little unusual because they have no family history like us and its a girl with the disorder.

Anyway, the next couple of weeks are going to be busy. We have a battalion Christmas party on Friday night, the HTC's (Hemophilia Treatment Center) Christmas party on Saturday at the Zoo and Nevaeh's 4th birthday party on Sunday. Then the following weekend, it's Myrtle Beach for the SC Hemophilia Chapter's Christmas Party weekend. I am so looking forward to that one. We had so much fun last year!! I will write more later!

This Weekend

Ok this weekend I hope to get a lot of scrapbooking done. I am still way behind!!! There is an online crop with Personal Scrapper that I am going to participate in. I hope to post some of the ones I finish.

Can I Get Off the Merry Go Round?? PLEASE??

So I haven't blogged in a while. I am feeling like my life is like a merry go round. Constantly moving and going too fast without my consent of course. We went back to the treatment center today for another head bonk. UGH!!! Of course the use of a helmet for Kyan was brought up again. Ok am I a bad hemophiliac mother by not wanting my child to have to wear a helmet??? I don't want him to feel different then everyone else. Maybe I should just relent and get one. Gosh all these trips to the doctor could be avoided. Right?? This time a toy truck fell off a shelf and hit him in the head. He started to get a bruise with this one, were last week he didn't get a bruise.

Oh well, He got factored and we are back home. He is passed out in bed!!! Poor little guy! The treatment center is trying to find a Home Infusion Nurse for me. That would be wonderful. I hope it doesn't take too long to find one!!! I will post more later.

Fun Fun

We went yesterday to a free dinner/training class on inhibitors by Novo Nordisk . We end up going to a lot of this types of meetings. The more knowledge the better in my opinion. Inhibitors scare me!! Kyan and Nevaeh came with us. They were so good. The restaurant (which seems to be a favorite for Factor companies) is a nice one with table clothes etc. Kyan kept trying his hardest to pull the table cloth straight off the table. And pretty much ate the entire time we were there. Everyone always get a kick out of his appetite.

On a side note, the head bonk from Thursday is much, much better. Kyan did however decide to test his factor 8 response and fall out of the bathtub after his bath. And like magic, the bump from the fall was gone the next moring. WOW!!! I am loving factor. If only it would last longer than 12 hours!!!

Thought I would post this picture of Nevaeh. I love this outfit and thought she looks adorable.

I had to take Kyan to the treatment center today for an infusion. He fell and hit his head on the wood entertainment center. It was just a pre-cautionary infusion. He doesn't have any signs of a brain bleed, so that is good. It was pretty scary! Poor little guy! He screamed when he saw the nurse. He knows what is going to happen as soon as he sees her.

Pretty boring here!!

Not too much going on here. This weekend was pretty boring. Trey worked all day Saturday and did have off (for once) on Sunday. When Nevaeh went to bed she said to him "Your going to be here when I wake up?? YEAH!!". It was so cute. We went out to breakfast Sunday morning to Ryan's (Kyan's favorite!). He ate just as much as Trey & I, if not more!!! That child can eat and he is only 1!!! We couldn't buckle him back in his car seat after we left without letting the straps out some!!!

Happy Birthday!!!

Regina!!! Hope you have a great birthday!!!!!!!!

Costume Pictures

Here our their halloween costumes. Kyan wasn't to jazzed about having the Elmo hood on his head!! We got so much candy!!! I handed out 2 bowls full of candy and got 2 bowls full back!! UGH! I didn't want that much. People were just handing them out in fist fulls.
