Year in rewind... 2010 started off on the wrong foot. 1st 2 weekends of January I'm at CHOP. 2 days with Kaileigh and 3 with Gabby. Both in for UTIs. Everything was good, nice and quiet. We took a weekend vacation to Baltimore. Went to the Aquarium and stayed overnight. Was alot of fun. Will have to do more weekend trips as a family.
April started the preparations for Gabby's Fontan. She had her Cardiac cath and everything went well until Monday the 2nd when they told me that her surgery needs to be rescheduled until they can get a CT scan of her heart/lungs because during the cath they found AVM's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arteriovenous_malformation. And depending on what they found on CT is how they would do her fontan. Somehow we got this scheduled for Thursday of this week and surgery went on as planned for Friday. May 7th is a day I will never forget. I met some of the most amazing women on the planet: Kathy, Stacey, Joy, Christina, Lisa and Senalda. Gabby's surgery went well with no real complications. Her drainage tubes clogged with protein leaving her chest filled with fluid... They pumped her full of diuretics causing her potassium levels to drop. If this hadn't happened we would have had a shorter stay. 8 days after OHS is awesome. Her Sats on 5/20 were 98%. AWESOME!!!
Tristan had his drama program at Swedesboro-woolwich FunDay and he did great. My dad was in town so was a good time had by all. Baseball ended soon as did school. Tristan did great, so proud of him!! Summer went by quick, but not without its issues. Kaileigh got potty trained. We had a meeting at school about her eligibility for the preschool program and one of the main issues is she was not potty trained. She started the next day. Guess better late than never.
July and August,were fun. Gabby had an echo and cardiology appt. Everything looked good and her sats were 100%. AMAZING. But wow... 3 kids to the dr 3 times each. Kaileigh ended up with an ear infection on her birthday and poor Tristan had an ear infection and pneumonia.
September was the beginning of school for Tristan and Kaileigh. Tristan was eager to get into the routine, but Kaileigh was very hesitant. She didn't want me to leave after dropping her off. this moved on into October, but finally she got comfortable. By the end of November she started on the bus!!! Tristan played soccer this fall. Had tons of fun.
Tristan made honor roll for the 3rd grade. So proud of him. Such a bright kid.
Holidays were good. My parents came out the weekend before Christmas. So nice to see them. Miss them dearly. Can't wait until they are back together under the same roof in AZ. More reason for us to go visit and see Stacey, Zoe and family. Christmas was good for all of us... Santa thought we were all on the nice list. Kaileigh got the Tag system, Gabby a v-motion and Tristan A PS3 move. New years week was crazy, Tim found out he was getting moved to a different building on Jan 2nd. But other than that things are good.
