Appointments and Awards

Wow, where to start....

I've known for weeks that today was going to be an absolutely crazy day. It's not that I had like a million little things to do, but I did have several big things happening one right on top of the other. Work, pick up Amara from school, go to Tay's appt, go to Williamsburg for Amara's appt, then run back to Hampton for the awards ceremony. These weren't "normal" appointments either. No, these were major, lets find out what we're going to do about this issue, kind of appointments.

So Tay's was for urology. Most people know that she's got urology issues. Not the biggest deal. She had a procedure last year to fix her urinary reflux problem. Well that didn't work. So she still has reflux and today's appointment was to find out what we were going to do about it. Options: 1. keep her on antibiotics for 1yr and then reassess whether her reflux has "resolved itself" 2. take her off antibiotics and "see how she does" and again...reassess in 1yr on whether her reflux has "resolved itself" 3. do another delfux and see how it turns out. Not exactly the options I want, but Jon and I have a lot to think about.

Amara's appointment was a whole different beast. As of right now, I'm not ready to share details with the whole world. I need to talk to Jon and we have decisions to make and a LOT of things to think about. But, I did like the doctor she saw (which is a good thing) and I feel like he is truly trying to do whats in her best interest. So I will be talking with Jon, Amara's PCM, and some of my best friends while we work through some of this. I will fill everyone in later when we've reached some decisions and I've had time to wrap my head around everything and form opinions and thoughts completely.

Tonight was also our Awanas Award Ceremony. If you don't know what Awanas is then you're missing out! I love Awanas and I love my Sparkies! I am so proud of all the kids and how hard they've worked this year. Tay finished her second Cubbies book and got her award, Amara finished her second Sparks book and got her awards. They both were so happy! And I am a proud mama, they have worked hard memorizing bible verses and I can't wait until next year!

For now, that's all. Love ya'll and keep checking back for more updates!
