Its not so bad

Rylans eye didn't get all black and blue like I thought it was going to ahhhh I am so glad this is what it looked like the day he fell..


and it looks ok now I will try to get a picture later he hate getting his picture taken though LOL so its not an easy task ...
I have been feeling pretty good on my medicine the prednizone make me breath easier but I think I should of been on a higher dose my breathing is much better when I start at 60mgs rather than the 40 mgs but I will take what I can get ...I started on the stronger advair this morning don't really notice much difference on that yet..I am also down to 20 mgs of prednizone now to so it will be interesting to see how I feel as the day goes on ...

Memories

 ***EDIT  I believe we had been suffering from Toxic black mold  I found out in Feb 2016 ****

"If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden". In Loving Memory Of Tegan and Taylor ~~ February 4,2005~~
Back on that day I was laying in a hospital bed sick at my stomach and today here I am on a new antibiotic sick to my stomach ...
I hope I feel better after a while I would like to go get some balloons to take up to the cemetery and take a picture of Rylan ..I tried to explain to him who his sisters are last night but he doesn't really get it yet ... Its hard for me to fathom never knowing Rylan.. If Tegan and Taylor or Wyatt had lived Rylan would never of been born ...so while I miss them so much and think of them everyday ...through them I now now have the most perfect little boy in the world. Its a very odd feeling to go through because I know for sure Rylan would not be here if they had lived...

On another note I will be blogging a lot for the next 3 to 5 weeks ..I went to the pulmoligist yesterday and he thinks I have a bronchitis that has not cleared up with the other antibiotics so he put me on a stronger one (and cheaper too LOL) and also prednizone for a burst for the next 2 weeks and stronger spinhaler of advair ..oh and a peak flow meter to measure my breaths twice a day .
I felt like such a doofus at my appointment trying to explain all that I have tried and been through since last July...... OMG you guys its been a nightmare and trying to explain all the ups and down was starting to confuse me as I was explaining it...
Crazy~ness I tell ya plain crazy~ness ..So I am going to blog everything about how I feel ..So now with my plan and all them drugs, I am going start walking daily and try to loose some of the weight I have put on and see if that helps too...

So at my pulmonary function test they gave me albuteral in a neubualizer form and it didn't burn my lungs and I think it made me breath a little easier I need to remember that...
I took my first antibiotic last night at dinner ( at the Mexican restaurant) we prayed before I took it that this will fix me up.. I had no nausea ... took a ambien before I went to bed slept great all night till 7am.....
Took my antibiotic and my prednizone about 7:30 am with apples and some crackers ended up with some nausea about a 4 on the scale
breathing is at about a 2 right now at 9:25 am
dry hacky cough I am unsure if I am supposed to take the advair with the lower does right now so I think I will take it ...
I start the stronger advair when I am down to 3 prednizone pills a day.....

No More Inhailers

I took myself off them I believe I am having a bad reaction to the propellant in them ..I am still having shortness of breath but its better without the inhalers at least for now..I have been taking Ibroprofin for the anti-inflammatory properties ..I am still waiting for my docs to call back after my methocholine test and I have an appointment with a pulmologist at the end of October..
yes my friends even with insurance and not being able to breath, you still have to wait a month for a appointment with a specialist... I will also be getting a sleep test done because I quit breathing while I sleep it called sleep apnea we have recorded it and I have listened to it ..Poor Randy I don't know how he manages to get sleep when I am sleeping in there with him :-( he has probably enjoyed this past year since I have been sleeping with Rylan LOL... The nights are starting to turn cold brrrr we thought about camping out this weekend but are maybe going to change our minds ...I told Randy if we had a nice travel trailer it wouldn't of made any difference what the weather was we could of still went ....
We are still working on paying the house in town off and getting close, so that where money for trailers and fun has gone well there and to doctors and trips to see doctors ...
I am still missing Bruno.. Last night when Randy stopped to get the mail one of our newer neighbors was also getting his mail and Randy introduced himself and had mentioned that we had put our dog to sleep and the neighbor was "Bruno, Bruno's gone" and was saddened by the news.... funny all our neighbors knew and loved Bruno even if they didn't know us ..When I was leaving for town yesterday one of our other neighbors was pulling in the road and stopped to ask how Bruno was she has come down the first day the vet was here and I told her that we had to have him put to sleep she was sad for us and said her grandson just loved Bruno and he called him 'woof' and that Bruno would lay down and watch her grandson play with his cars awe sweet stories of Bru~nee he really was such a good boy we still miss him ...

Normal Ultrasounds all the way around

***EDIT  I believe we had been suffering from Toxic black mold  I found out in Feb 2016 ****

I am not sure if I mentioned here that Rylan had to get another u/s on his kidneys but he did since we have been home from Portland came back 100% normal whoohooo...

Mindi's U/S alos came back normal but this is not a whoohoo because now she has to get the dye test she is getting it the 21st hopefully it will give her/us some answers ....

I have really fallen off my blogging and am going to try to get better with it...I will be going in to have a sleep study done soon, because Randy says I quit breathing when I sleep and with my other breathing problems... I think I should make sure I am breathing good at night...I am also going to be seeing a pulmuoligist because my breathing is still not real great, its lots better than it was, but still not normal I will find out times for both theses things next week my doctors are making the appointments for me ....
