I hate the emergency room!

It has been a crazy weekend! Rian told me her butt itched on fri. morning. I looked and it simply looked like a mosquito bite. I told her, dont ich it, and it will go away. Then Friday night she couln't sit on the cheek that she had the "bite" on. I looked at it again, this time it was swollen and had a pimple like head. So naturally I popped it and told her to wash herself better. Then Sat. morning I checked it again, and it was more swollen and hot to the touch, and had another puss pocket. So I then thought this was a spider bite. Having been bitten myself once by a poisonous spider, I saw the signs. I took her to the emergency room. So 2 hours and $200.00 later, they told me to watch it and gave me an antibiotic for the infection. I was a little frustrated and unsatisfied with the diagnoses. They didn't even take a culture or anything. So I gave her the medicine for the 2 days and watched it. By Sat. night, the redness was past the little marks they made earlier that morning. I kept watching. Sun., the same thing. Then Sunday night it had spread even more and now the head of it was black. I know this was not good. So I made her dr. appt for monday morning. I love my doctor. Dr. Bellinoski! What a gal!! She took one look and asked, "Did the dr. at the emergency room take a culture?" I said no. She asked "Why NOT" i dunno. anyway she took a culture and drained the puss out. She also gave another antibiotic cream to put on it. She said it looks like a type of staff infection, called MSRA staff. She will know for sure in a couple days. She then gave us some more instructions and said she would call us when the culture came in. And all that cost me was my 25 dollar co-pay. I cant believe the emergency room did nothing but look at it. For all that money and nothing. I will never go there again. From now on Ill go to the Texas childrens emergency office on weekends. Its just a co-pay and a lot more thourough!!!
So far Rian is doing a lot better, since a lot of the puss was squeezed out.

Random photos

This is how Ray watches tv. I love it. The girls decided to lay with him. The other photo is at the b-party below, and is all my nephews and my kiddos as well.

Party time

This is my nephew and ofcoarse Ray at Brice's 2nd bday party, (my nephew). They had so much fun. Aren't they cute with their big floatie muscle's?

Im a star

Lookout Hannah Montana, here comes Rian Lee, she's on her way. Rian started guitar lessons about a month ago. She loves it so far and seems to be catching on pretty well. Im hopeing she'll get good enough to teach me one day. I dunno, we will see.

Ahh...the simple things...

Its funny how something so simple can entertain a child for hours. Reece and Ray pulled all the pillow cushions on to the floor one night and jumped off the couch onto them, over, and over again. They laughed so hard. Rian came out and joined in the fun. They were busy with this for about two hours, right before bedtime. I usually do not allow this, but since they were having so much fun with each other, I took it as an oppurtunity for them to make memories. I remember doing the same thing with my sisters, and just laughing and laughing. It seemed like we could fly. It actually looks like Ray and Reece are flying in some of these pics.

Get against the wall and stay there!

This is a funny pic. I was watching my 3 nephews that day, and we had just got our new couches the day before. So I was very strict about them eating or drinking in the living room. They were having a capri sun, and I simply said "ok everyone, make sure you stay inside the kitchen with your drinks. I don't want you to spill on my new couches." The next thing I know they are all standing against the wall in a perfect line, sucking their drinks like they were going out of style, so they could hurry and finish sponge bob square pants. It was hilarioous!

Rough and tough!!

Why are boys so rambunctious!!! Little Girls can be hyper and very active, but for the most part reasonable. But little boys..... everything has to be rough and tough. Ray cant just give me a hug and kiss, he has to run full speed at me and jump on top of me to kiss me, bumping my head in the process. When I tell him to clean up his mess he yells NO!, when I pop him on the butt, and tell him again and to not tell me NO!, he says uhhh! OKeeeeaa! And when he is in a silly mood he doesnt talk to me he growls and laughs running away.
So last week monday to be precise, we were all having a very nice day swimming in the backyard. We decided to have a picnic for lunch outside by the pool. It was hot but there was a little breeze, so it wasvery nice. I was chicking my phone for missed calls while the kids were all eating and sitting nicely in their chairs. They were so good that I said if they finished everything, I would give them a brownie, left over from the day before. So I went in the house to get the kids their treat and as Im bringing them outside, I see Ray on top of the table, with my phone in hand. before I could say anything, Rian is screaming at him saying "RAY, PUT THAT DOWN!!!, NO SIR!!!" Now if you don't know, this is not the way to get Ray to put anything down. When he is yelled at about holding something, instead of being a good little boy and putting it down, he automatically throws the object. So I knew in that instant my phone, which is my life, was over. Their it went flying in the air, bouncing on the hard cement, and into the pool. Sinking to the bottom. I was devestated. But thank goodness I had my sim card inside with all my numbers saved on it. So I got the phone and ran it into the house to retrieve my card before it to was ruined. Then I hear another scream followed by loud crying from my son. I ran outside to find him in the pool, (its ok he had floaties on), with his mouth full of blood. Apparently Rian says, he was standing at the edge with his back to the pool, and reece pushed him in on accident and he fell hitting his mouth on the flagstone. I came to find out he had bit through his bottom lip. OUCH!! So ofcoarse he had to get stitches. He needed 4, but only got 2, because he was moving so much. That was a tramatic experience for any mother to go through. And a whole other story. The question is , has it slowed him down at all, and taught him a lesson about being so rough?? NOT ONE BIT!!
