Poor Hubby

Tuesday the 28th at 1pm. Hubby had a doc appt to remove 2 moles from his back. He is a very moley guy and one had changed in shape. So I wanted it removed ASAP. And the other one just to be safe.  I have more that I want removed but I have to give him time to heal first.

So we arrive at the clinic and wait to be called back. We didn’t figure we would get our main doc as we had scheduled with someone else(or so I thought I had). No big deal. We were actually thrilled to get our main doc. He is really good. He listens to what we want and knows I go against the grain A LOT lol!!!

We get back to the procedure room. And Doc starts working. The first one wasn’t to gross to watch. But that second one that was flat that one was gross. I told hubby if it wasn’t so cool to watch I wouldn’t have cause that was a little to much for me. LOL.

He has 8 stitches on the left side of his back and 1 stitch on the right hand side. He did great. Basicly fell asleep on the table as Doc worked.

Once home he felt it. He was in so much pain I felt so bad for him. Another reason why  I want to wait to remove anymore.

The other reason I feel bad. (and the reason for this blog) Is he has had bandages on since Tuesday night. And today(just a few minutes ago I removed his bandages) and  he has a lot of red blotches all around where the bandaids were. I was like OH NO. I called my mom up with my suspision that he was  A.allergic to the bandaids. Mom said he could either be allergic or his skin is just irritated from the bandaids themselves. So I got him “airing out” now LOL.

So hopefully it gets better. Only one more day of bandaides then Saturday I remove the stitches. YAY.

Alright that is all, now go back to what you were doing before I interupted you LOL.

The three new horses

I realized I never posted a pic of our 3 new horses so here they are:)

About Rosy’s ER/surgery.

Ok so these are just posts I had posted to a site I’m with but it goes through the process of what all happened and then at the bottom will be the recent update.

First post

OK to bring you all up to date. The night before Halloween my little sister Rosy was rushed to the ER. She had been dealing with an upset tummy since last Saturday. My folks figured it was just a upset tummy (they thought Jade had gotten a stomach bug and that Rosy caught it).

But when it got worse and all the symptoms match that of someone with appendix issues. They choose to go in. (my dad had his appendix removed years and years ago so he also knew what to look for).

They get her to the ER. The doc happened to be our main doc which was awesome. They told him everything. He ran tests and found nothing to be wrong which surprised him as well as he thought it was her appendix.

He sent them home and figured she’d be ok it was just a stomach bug.

Well today I get a call from my folks and Rosy is WORSE. Yesterday she was still pale and not feeling well at all. But today its worse. Mom said enough already we are going in and finding out WHAT is up.

We still think its her appendix. But won’t know till they get there. I just pray they find out whatever is hurting my little sister. And can fix it or give her something so she can get better and not hurt.

If its her appendix they have to fly her to another clinic 3hrs from here.

My little sisters name is Rosy( Heather Rose actually but she goes by Rosy). She is 6yrs old.

Any prayers or good thoughts are greatly appreciated. I will update when I know more.

**************************************************second post**********************************************

My little sister Rosy is having Surgery TODAY at 7pm (central time). They are 99% sure it is her appendix. They are praying it hasn’t already burst! Lord please keep Rosy safe.

I’m not handling it well nor is any of my family. This is our little Rosy. One of us. And we are shaken. I’ve been in tears off and on since talking to my dad. She is my baby sister.

Rosy is only 6 so this is a lot for her to take in. So prayers for a safe surgery and quick recovery. Pray that all goes well.

Please send anything good thoughts, good vibes, prayers whatever it is you do please do this for my little sister.
For us!!

Thank you all so much. I’ll update when I know more.

********************************************third post*******************************************************

OK as of 8:45pm Rosy came outta surgery. They didn’t take her back till 7:45pm and it took an hour for the surgery.

They found that her appendix had BURST already!!! And thankfully God was looking out for her. As the appendix burst it had rolled up into itself in a little pocket. That saved her life and all her internal organs.

She will be in the hospital for two days, so she won’t be home till Tuesday. Monday at the soonest if she is doing good.

They have a tube in her to drain that section to make sure all the infection is out. At the time my folks called they still hadn’t gotten to see her since her surgery. But should in the next 1hr or so. We’re going to go see her tomorrow. We’re all taking turns the next few days to be with her.

I’m just so glad things went ok. They still have to monitor her close for the next couple days to make sure they got everything.

It took a very sweet u/s tech and the u/s to find out what the problem most likely was.

As 1. Rosy’s white blood cell count wasn’t elevated at all.
2.
all other tests come back normal
3.
even the CT scan didn’t even show a problem
But the u/s showed that the appendix was most likely the culprit. My folks are very happy with the care they are receiving there. Everyone has been really helpful and kind.

I went over and cleaned up most of my folks house and brought Spring home with me. She’ll be spending the night. (as my folks are staying camped out down there with Rosy).

Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers!!

I will keep you all posted as I know more about Rosy. I’ll try to get a pic up to post:) She’ll love that.

I just pray she recovers quickly!!
(ok so I stole my update from a site I’m with but I’m tired so I needed to do this quick. And I didn’t want to leave everyone hanging).

*********THE NEWEST UPDATE******************************************************************************

I wanted to thank everyone first for all your good thoughts, and prayers. And comments. We all greatly appreciate it. We do ask for continued prayers for a quick recovery and that she doesn’t get an infection.

So lets see my last bullentin was she had gone into surgery and they had found her appendix had ruptured!! It had rolled up into the fat that is around our intestines. Which is what saved her LIFE and kept from damaging any organs. She definitely had a guardian angel watching over her.

We went down to see her the next day after her sugery. We took her gifts. Flowers, teddy bear, coloring book with crayons, and a balloon. The flowers were Roses her fav. I knew she wasn’t feeling well when she didn’t even smile or get excited about her flowers.

It was hard seeing her in so much pain that first day. It hurt for her to even get outta bed to go potty. But she is one tough cookie cause everytime they offered her pain meds she turned them down. The nurses and doctors were surpirsed at how tough she was.

She was groggy the first day. But by the next day which was Monday we were all hoping they’d let her come home. But sadly she didn’t pass all their “requirements” so they wouldn’t let her come home. We were all crushed Rosy especially. She was so mad that when the nurse came in to talk to her about meds she just crossed her arms and turned her head away and did the nose in the air at him LOL.

Once we found out she wasn’t coming home Monday, Ahren, myself and Spring headed down to go see her. She was a lot like her old self. Smiling, chatting and walking around. We got many many hugs. It was hard though to come home without her. But we rolled her down to the gift shop which mom then bought all of us beautiful Christmas oranments. Rosy also got a gift from our grandparents in Indiana(the ones that were just up here). They bought her a gift from the gift shop.
We had many tears last night leaving and going home. Just not fair having to be seperated. We all are very close knit family. So being away from each other is hard. Heck this is the FIRST TIME that Spring has ever slept away from home and my folks. She is ten. Like I said were close knit!!

We have already told Rosy once she is better she gets to come over and spend the night. We have tons of stuff planned out for her visit.

So anyway back to my update. We are praying so hard she gets to come home today. The big thing that could keep her there is if she spikes a high fever. Otherwise she can come home. We’ll know in a couple hours.

The doc will go in and check her over and then if all looks good he will then pull the stitches together to seal up her incision(he left it open to drain). Which hasn’t been pleasant for Rosy. Nor will the stitches as they won’t numb her up just to pull them closed.

The hospital has been great its an hour from us Grand R.  They made sure my family had a bed to sleep in and food to eat. Everyone there has just been awesome my folks say. Some of the nurses that first took care of Rosy even came in to check up on her afterwards. Even the stupid ER doc from the previous clinic came to see how things turned out. After he sent them away saying it was just a intestinal bug. (yeah lovely)

She also got a visit from some friends of the family and a friend of hers.

We also have a Welcome home sign made for her. I’ll take pics of the sign and Rosy and post when I get a chance.

So that is the update for now. I’ll let ya’ll know when she is home:)

Thank you all again
Much Love,
Misty and her family

Attack of the killer bees!!!

Well our day started out like most days do. I knew I had to be at my folks house at 9am. As us girls and Jade had some stuff to do. (had to pick up our new chickens.) And visit with some friends of the family.

We get home get the chickens in their new home. Let the doggy’s out to go potty. And as they were going I had to climb in mama pigs pen to fix the roof of her new home. Then I decided to show mom how she liked her belly rubbed. As I was showing her one of the chickens got caught in the netting. Mom went to go help.

When Harley decided to rile up the chickens *gulp*. Well next thing you know chickens are freaking out and jumping outta their pen. 3 got out. We all had to wrangle chickens and doggy’s. They got one chicken in as I grabbed up doggy’s and got them inside. As to keep them from chasing after the chickens.

We headed after a hen. When she jumped up on my well house. (now mind you we have to catch the chickens with a fishing net). So Spring did as she should and use the net to grab her. Now first she jumped off the well house then trucked it right back up there.

Spring took another grab at her with the net. And got her. I walked around to where Spring was to help grab chicky. Next thing I knew mom was swatting at a bee flying around Rosy’s head. Within a second I look back where the chicken was to see a SWARM of BEES!!!!! I yell bees and we scramble. Mom got stung as she headed to the van with Jade and Rosy.

Spring ran for the trees. I stayed put to deter the bees from going after anyone but me. Once they calmed a bit we got everyone into the house through the back door.

Mom called dad and he came down with the spray to kill them. He dressed up in his “bee suit” and went after them. He killed all of them in the *first nest*. Now at that moment we thought there was only one. I learned later that there is ANOTHER one.

My folks after all was calmer headed home to feed their furbabies. And I waited for hubby to come home. To have him come through the back door. As to avoid having him get stung. As he is allergic!

As I waited for him. I went out to try and clean up the hay and stuff around the well house and that is when I found the second nest!! I called dad and we decided to kill that one off tomorrow. I gotta get more spray to kill them with.

Hubby got home and made it inside A’OK. *whew*.

So tomorrow I pray things go well and that I can get rid of all of the evil bees. (I love bees till they turn mean. Oh and for the chicken that was right in the swarm She seems to be doing ok. She survived when I pulled her off the well as Spring ran to get away(as she needed to). But as I pulled chicky off the well house she just fell as if DEAD. I was worried. I found her A’OK tucked in a bush to keep the bees off of her. She actually saved me from getting stung. As I reached to get her out a bee flew right at me. She flew up and knocked that bugger into the next county!

I am forever grateful that the hen did what she did. As otherwise hubby could have been the one to find the nest ALONE and may not have survived. It hurts knowing though mom got stung. She seems to be ok. Still sore and where she got stung is throbbing. And her nose is stuffed up. I checked on her after she got home. And I’ll check on her in the morning.

I’m glad that things didn’t get as bad as they could’ve. So everyone seems to be ok. The chickens are all in their home. Tomorrow will finish up the bees.

We’re still not quite sure what kinda bee it is though. As they aren’t a bumble bee, or a hornet, or a wasp. It looks like a honey bee?!?! So either they are pissed off honey bees. OR they are killer bees. As they can get make it up here. We shall see once I can find a dead one to take a pic of to really look at.

So that was our adventurous day today……….. I pray this never has to happen again.

Our family is growing again

Alright so we just got little Diesel. Which we just love. He has been a very wonderful addition to our family.

Well now our family is growing by another 12 hooves. Yup 3 more horses for us. My mom noticed a friend of ours was looking to find a home for her big furbabies. So I jumped at it. We had already gotten a rooster from her so I know how well she cares for her critters.

We decided to go take a gander at the 3 big furbabies. And they are absolutely beautiful.
1st you have Cody, he is a green broke Mustange. Very stocky built and Lance adores him. Cody is 7yrs old. And had a close call with Death. When his hoof got caught in Barb wire and severed an artery. Thankfully they caught it in time and fixed him up. He is healing up great. We will be getting a corrective shoe for him to help his hoof. The top part is healed but has a scare to remind us how close we came to not having him with our group.
2nd you got Whiskey he is also 7yrs old. He was born and raised with Cody. Whiskey is a Appaloosa. And already broke. So I will have a great riding horse. He is medium height. And very calm. And loves to be involved with whatever you are doing.
Last but definitely not least. You have Oden. He is a Thorough Bred horse. He is 18yrs old and 17 hands tall!!! He is HUGE. I can barely see over the top of him. Also is broke and very calm natured. Loves to be loved on. Lance teased when we were there and said I want to see you swing up there on him. *mom said I should have asked the gal if he came with a ladder*

All three are geldings so I don’t have to deal with the testosterone issues and nor do I lose riding time for gestational time(like I will with Maggie).

We are just so happy to be adding them to our family. We are now working at getting the fence up and everything ready then we’ll be off to bring them home. Then I’ll have pics of them for ya’ll.

We are just so grateful that God keeps leading us to all these wonderful furbabies. And helping us get our dreams a reality.

Got my results

So yesterday I called the clinic to get my results. That I was anxiously awaiting. I found out at 4pm what they were. And…………………………….They were negative(I’m not sensitized) *YIPPEE* I am so very very grateful. I thanked God.

I can breath a sigh of relief now. But yesterday was hard for me. After the results I had gone home to find that we are going to head to town(I’ll explain why in another blog). But on the way there. I realized my arms are still empty. I guess life finally got busy enough for me not to think about it or I tried to ignore it. Go figure it would have to flare and I would have to come face to face with what pains me so.

I wish you all could’ve felt that moment with me. One thought but tons of feelings. Which brought tears that I sniffled back as I didn’t want to explain to my hubby why I was crying. I wanted to silently mourn my childless life. How do you explain to your hubby that your heart isn’t full. That no matter what you do or how much you love him there is a big piece missing.

How do you tell someone you feel cheated. That your angry. And sometimes you can be angry at the simplest things like the sun. For shining to bright when you feel so blue. Or how you laugh when you get caught in the rain. Its a moment you feel closest to your angel baby.

I want children more then anything in this world. Will I ever get my child? I find myself asking that question over and over again. Or asking strangers hoping they have THE answer. Why would God give me such a desire to have a child if I weren’t meant to have one?? That makes no sense to me.

But only God knows my life and what is to come. And I always jokingly say I wish he’d give me a hint every now and again(a sneak peek into my life book). Or I ask for a rewrite as I think a mistake has been made as my heart is hurting and my arms are empty.

I feel deep down in my heart where the pain doesn’t hurt so much that I will become a mommy. Its just a matter of waiting till it does happen.

I think my hormones are on a rampage right now as AF is here visiting. Which I’m happy to say only took her 25days to get here. Lot better then 50 some. I’m unsure if I actually ovulated cause I didn’t temp enough or reg. enough. Either way I’m just happy to have AF here to get a new start and another chance to achieve our dream.

Sometimes it feels like it will never happen. After 4yrs its hard to even imagine it happening. Though I know its possible. I have seen many people get pregnant after 4+yrs of TTC. My cousin tried for 8yrs before she had her daughter. (I pray it doesn’t take that long for us I feel my heart couldn’t handle it.)

Sorry this blog is all over the place. My mind is just going in so many directions and I figured if I got it out maybe something would make sense or I would hurt less. I just don’t know what to do anymore. Today I just feel lost…………………..

Our Surprise:)

So yesterday I went to town with my mom, the girls and Jade. To do some shopping on the way home we stopped at B library. Mom ran into a gal in there that had a Welsh Corgi. (yup like Sagey). Mom found out it was a boy and asked if he was a full boy or missing his jewels LOL.

Well he was fixed(the reason she asked is cause we are looking to breed Sage next year). The gal actually knew of someone looking to sale a male puppy. He is 11wks old. She gave my mom the number and info for me to call.

I got to meet the gal and her welsh baby. His name is Toby he is a sweet heart. Came from some not very nice homes *damn morons owning furbabies and thinking they don’t have to care for them or treat them like garbage just pisses me off royal* but I won’t take my post over ranting about that. So anywho Toby is going to become a physical therapist doggy for the elderly. He has come a long way since C has taken on caring for him.

Ok back to my surprise which I bet you can guess what it is. I told hubby about the puppy when I got home he was like sure lets get him. Whoo Hooo. I called the lady with the puppy and made sure he came with papers(which he does). We set up to go see him tomorrow cause I didn’t know how long hubby would have to work today. Well he didn’t have to work long so we went today and looked at him. He is ADORABLE. Looks a lot like Sage.

His name is Diesel you’ll understand when you see pics of him compared to Sage at his age. He is built. Sage is getting to know him. We brought her with us when we went to look at him. Just cause if she didn’t like him he wouldn’t have come home. It was all in Sage’s paws. Sage thought he was “ok”. Kinda weird. But she thinks he is cute.

We stopped at my folks house to show him off to my family and a friend of theirs. The kids love him and he loves them. Even Jade thought he was great!! We are home now letting them all adjust.

We have already had to rough spots. One he is SCARED to death of Harley and totally freaked out he got to barking, whining and growling at her. Now Harley is are big border Callie. So yeah not a good thing. He high tailed it to under the car. I grabbed Harley who instinctively(spl?) growled back but didn’t lunge after him. I told Harley no and got after Diesel. And we found out he doesn’t like to be told no or punished(punished to us is telling them no and touching their noses to make sure they realize we are talking to them). But he thinks its abuse he whined out like we were torturing him. Broke my heart.

So we have to work at getting them two together. We also found out he doesn’t like kitty’s yes whats one more milestone right. He barks and growls at her. Which is a big no no for us (especially in the house). So we are teaching him. Praying he is a fast learner like Sage is. He is also teething *ah yes the teething such joy NOT*.

Ok we love him to death and looking forward to teaching him like we have down with all our other furbabies. I just kinda forgot what having a puppy in the house was like. And I think he is going to be a little more of a handful then Sage was.

OH the other thing that is big different with him unlike Sage is his ears are already up unlike Sagey’s were.

Ok here is some pics is he cute or what??

Diesel*front* Sage*behind*

RH- *worried*

So I thought I’d call my doc 7-11-08 cause I had asked him like last year to test to see if I have RH+ sensitized. Just because hubby is RH+ and I am RH- so we run that risk. And with my loss my doc felt I was safe not taking the RHogam shot. Personal choice and I choose to go along with my doc and not get the shot.

Well I thought he had already tested me to make sure I hadn’t become sensitized after my m/c but apparently not?! So I have Lab orders to get checked. I’m trying not to freak out. I mean all studies show that you have a very very low risk of becoming sensitized when you are only 6wks pg when you m/c. But now I’m questioning myself.

Did I make the right choice? I figured if they can get me in tomorrow(Monday). I will go in and have the lab ran. The sooner I know the better I feel. Just cause this will effect the next baby if I am sensitized and if I’m not the YIPPEE. The next baby will be safe and I can breath a sigh of relief.

So I ask if you pray to say a prayer for me, or good thoughts, or good vibes anything I would greatly appreciate it. I will update as soon as I know the results.

Hugs, Misty

Got hubby’s results

Ok so I actually had them yesterday but I was debating on waiting to post them till I had all the paper work cause I only have a few numbers. But I know some of ya may want to know whether the horse injured down there or not.

Well I’m happy to report that no damage was done down there by the horse(Thank you God). I was so relieved. I’m not sure who was more nervous hubby or I. This was the first one that hubby kept calling from work wanting results. He never let on before that that he was scared. I know I kept pacing back and forth. Each time that phone would ring I would get all excited then find out it wasn’t the clinic.

Oh but when the clinic called I about jumped outta my chair when I answered the phone(yeah I kept the phone by me all day). First words outta the nurses mouth was Doc H. Say the results are Awesome, wonderful, great you name it she said it!! I was thrilled.

I then asked for numbers just to verify they weren’t pulling my leg.

The numbers were PH>8.0, Count>102.0MILL/ML, Morphology>18%(that is actually lower then what it has ever been YIPPEE). I am just so happy and grateful no damage was done.

Thank you all who had said a prayer for hubby. Much love, Misty

What I got hubby for his b-day

Alright so hubby’s b-day isn’t till the 10th of this month. But I didn’t want to take the chance and not get this for him before someone else bought it. I have other things planned for his birthday but just incase he goes snooping on my side of the computer and finds my blog I don’t want to ruin the surprise.

He already has his one present now kinda to BIG to hide:) Here is a pic of it what do you think?
