I am so sorry that it has been so long since my last update. I has been a busy week or so. Mostly I have been sick. I got a real bad bug on Wednesday that had me stopped in my tracks. My muscles ached and I was a mess. Then, I have been busy making everybody presents! My sister-in-law/friend :) had her birthday on Friday night and we all went over there. Mike and Gramma and Grampa Wright took Kelby to the zoo on Saturday, but I wasn't feeling up to it. I stayed home and got ready for my Stampin' Up! parties that I am doing this week. On Saturday night, Melissa and Julia came over for my "Stamp-Til-U-Cramp" night and we had a blast talkin until I lost my voice around 11:30 pm. I had no voice then for three days! I did a Stampin' Up! party on Monday night for Melissa...with no voice...so you can only imagine I looked ridiculous! On Tuesday morning we had another MOPS meeting which went great, but again...I had no voice...but tried to talk anyways. I had to tell the ladies how to do the craft (I think the mostly got it.) I went to the doctor thinking I have a sinus infection, but the nurse said...call us in 7-10 days if you're not better. They don't want to give out those antibiotics unless they really have to these days! I think I'll call on Friday though if I am not feeling better to get some antibiotics anyways. I still think it is a sinus infection. Today I drove Kelby and Tegan down to a check up in Redmond. It has been a long week.


Kelby's doctors still think she is doing great. She has really dried out cheeks from the Accutane, but otherwise looks and acts normal. She was finished with her 6 rounds of Accutane this month, but they are going to have us stay on it for three more months...just for good measure. I made them lower her dose though because each round made her side effects worse. Also I am nervous about long term side effects of this drug. They aren't as bad as chemotherapy...that's for sure, but they don't have any real data on it's affect on kids. I feel better with the lower dosage. This was a good compromise. Also, they will be taking her catheter out at her visit next month! I am most excited about that! So, it was a great visit today.


So, other than my sickness, we have all been doing great. Tegan has started to eat rice cereal now. At least, we try to get her to eat it. She doesn't quite get the swallowing process yet. It takes time. We are headed to Billings for Thanksgiving, so we are all excited about that. I have to have all my Christmas presents ready by then, so I have been busy working hard on that. I have another Stampin' Up! party tomorrow night. I have myself pretty booked up these days...just the way I like it! Love to you all!
