Not the Perkiest Post...

This morning I was finally told what's going on: b/c Infectious Diseases is involved, they have to give the ok for Isaiah to have his surgery for the shunt to be put in, which makes plenty of sense seeing as I don't care to have to come right back, b/c his shunt got infected with the yeast infection that didn't get cleared up. Now, here's the real bummer in the whole thing; they aren't going to get his next blood culture until Saturday! Do you know what that means?! Even if it comes back clear, which according to them takes TWO days to process (TOTALLY FORGOT THAT FACT!!!!!), he won't have his surgery any earlier than Tuesday and that's IF they can get him on the schedule!

So, I took my husband up on his offer to give me a break and went to see Jeremiah (Isabella was taken by my sister to see Toy Story 3 - and I was SO jealous!!!) at my moms. His excitement to see me made me forget every last drop of drama that has been going on! I mean, he acted like I was the best thing since sliced bread! We played, my mom and I talked and I was the happiest camper!!! Then, my sister showed up and we took the kids to the pool. I was a little bummed that I couldn't get in, since I didn't have a bathing suit. Other than that, I was in heaven, up until I had to leave. The kids did just fine with me leaving, but I just can't get used to how much it hurts knowing that I'm missing so much that's going on with them right now and that we won't all be back under one roof any time soon. I know some of you may be thinking, it's just another week and a half, but after two weeks, FIFTEEN DAYS that has been spent mostly away from them and being a stay at home mom that is involved in every aspect of their lives, another week and a half is like an eternity!

I miss sneaking in their rooms to watch them sleep and having them crawling all over me and Isabella constantly having to show me EVERYTHING. I even miss their fighting over all of the toys, well...no...maybe not, but I MISS THEM!!!!! I really miss listening to my husband snoring next to me on our bed and the way he makes up songs in the shower about his love for me. Gosh, this one isn't really a happy post is it? Well, I guess if you were in my shoes you'd understand that some days in this situation just stink. :o(
