Well...well...well..

I didn't post yesterday because SOMEONE named Isaac was UP ALL NIGHT LONG. He would fall asleep and 20 minutes later (just as I was falling back to sleep) be would cry. And..I've told you that he doesn't cry unless somethings wrong. So, about 2am we went downstairs...diaper is changed, no fever, sats are fine, no ear drainage...WHAT IS IT?? I don't know...but, let's try benadryl in case you have a post nasal drip, motrin in case you're teething and your mouth hurts, ear drops in case it's your ears again. It took about 30 minutes after all that...so, by 5am we were asleep! ONLY to wake up at 5:30 to get Chris up and ready for seminary. So, Thursday I was pooped.

Now...we've made it to Friday. Nora (our wonderful pt) came over today. We're working with Isaac on getting into crawling position. WELL, Nora was putting Isaac's bum into position and felt something odd. HIS BUM! OK...here's the thing with his bum. Right in the middle of each cheek (bum cheek) you can feel his hip bone. It's VERY prominent. But, that's how it's been since he was born....I just thought he had a bony bum. Well, Nora moved his legs all around...there wasn't any clicking noise (and he doesn't have limited motion...in fact, he's opposite...he is TOO limber)...but, she did ask if he'd ever had an x-ray of his hips. Well..NOPE...we haven't. SO...she suggested that before we even try to start working with him on weight bearing (remember, he doesn't stand up...at all)...that we should get an xray and make sure that everything in that area is ok. Thank goodness there are some GREAT pediatric orthopedics right near my house, and they got us in on Monday morning! SO...I won't have too much time to obsess about this or worry. I hope they don't find anything wrong..but, if they did...maybe that would explain his lack of putting pressure on those feet.

Other than his old man eyes, old man hips, old man heart....he's doing great! While working on crawling today...he got on all fours...he did NOT move his arms, but he did try to move his knees! I was so proud of him! When we were finished, I walked Nora to the door and when I walked back in the living room...Isaac was out COLD! He slept for FOUR hours!!! What a work out!!! (and Eli is reading over my shoulder again...stop Eli...stop!!)

Eli got a gift card for Build a Bear for Christmas from our SWEETIE PIE neighbor...so, yesterday after school...Eli made a monkey. His name is DJ. He names all of his stuffed animals...and he knows all of their names. He sleeps with all of his animals..I'll have to climb on the top bunk and take a picture one day....you wouldn't believe it!

Chris is around here somewhere.

We recorded Lost on Thursday and just finished watching it. SO GOOD!!!
(stop reading this Eli!)

It's late and the bed is calling my name!
Hope everyone has a great weekend......and I'll post on Monday night and tell you how the ortho appointment went (seriously...is there a specialist that we haven't seen yet??)

**oh wait..I almost forgot to tell you. STILL..I'm getting billed for Isaac's cleft palate surgery. Blue Cross doesn't want to pay and his secondary medicaid will not pay if blue cross doesn't pay first. Seriously. At this point...in this economy....I don't even care. I'll tell them that I'll pay $5 a month....one day they'll get their money.
It's the dumbest thing EVER. The hospital is approved...and once again the doctors that enter the hospital are not providers! How is that even fair?? IT's not!
That's all I have to say about that...I can't use bad words (and that's all I'm thinking)
