Hello, Did you miss me?

Wow July 9 was my last post.
So much has happened since then. Colin got out of the hospital and recovered nicely.

Instead of playing catch up. I will just write about what is going on right now.

Vinnie is really sick. 3 week ago I noticed Vinnie not coming downstairs as much as usual and not eating as much as he normally does. I took him to the vet and they couldn't find anything wrong but said they could tell something was wrong and sent us home with some medicine. That was a Monday, on Friday he still wasn't better so I took him back, after some more testing and a shot he was sent home. Tuesday he still wasn't better so back for some x-rays. Those showed nothing. Friday still not better so more x-rays and another shot.
Today still not better so we go to see a specialist tomorrow. They are thinking there is something wrong with the area around his stomach and then something wrong with his leg. I am really hoping they will look at both issues tomorrow since I have to drive over an hour to get there instead of making me come back but I'm not sure.
He breaks my heart when he can't jump up on the couch or his back legs give out and he just falls to the floor. He has lost 2 pounds, and while he could stand to lose a little weight losing it this way is not how we wanted it to happen.

Colin
Colin went back to the pulmonologist on Friday and he has to have another procedure done. I am waiting on a call back from the ENT to schedule the procedure. He will have samples taken from his lungs to check for fungus and bacteria, he will have his throat scoped to check for aspiration and he will have samples taken from his nose to check for PCD.
I am super nervous about all of this and wish I had a date of when it would all happen because the wondering and waiting is super hard.
On Friday they also took a chest x-ray which they are hoping shows "normal" lungs since everyone they have on file shows infection they wanted a normal one to compare to. He also had blood work done to check for allergies.
They changed some of his medicines from a nebulizer to an inhaler which cuts down the amount of time we have to spend giving him medicine considerably.

Chris
Chris has moved job sites and is now gone from the house about 14 hours a day and works 7 days a week. This has been a hard adjustment on everyone and we are hoping things will slow down in about 4 weeks.

Me
I am in talks with the church to move my daycare from my house into the church within the coming year. I meet with board members next Monday night and if they give the okay I will get to meet with the church council in September. This is something that I have wanted to do for the last year and I am super excited and nervous to see what the future holds for the daycare.
As of this week the daycare has been open 2 years. I would say a very successful 2 years. I couldn't be happier with my families and business. It hasn't always gone as planned but it is everything I have ever wanted.

So that gives a good update and I will try to be a better blogger as the weeks go on.
