Thank you Flex Spending
When it rains, it pours, doesn't it? Well, at least it's a down pour all at once. I'm usually religious about updating my own blog and checking everyone elses, but I have had soo much on my mind I haven't even thought about the computer! The last week has been crazy, we have been running from one Dr. appointment to the next. I thought I was so good to schedule Isabella's dental and 4 yr check-up all in the same week. Easy enough right...get teeth cleaned, get weighed...call it good....and yep done for another 6 months. The dental appointment went great, she was an angel for the dental hygienist. Her 4 yr. old check-up, well we left being told that she definitely needed to get her eyes checked. We also needed to go to Logan Oxygen and have hear wear a thing to monitor her oxygen while she sleeps...we may have tonsil issues.Which I went to the oxygen place yesterday and picked up the monitor and after 3 minutes of that on her finger last night she ripped it off and told us to get it out of her room. We have taken her to an eye Dr. and definitely her eyes are heading in a bad direction, she will definitely need glasses in the near future! We have an appointment tomorrow with a Ear nose and throat doctor tomorrow to see if tonsils will be coming out. On top of this Eva has been having issues with peanuts, so we are making a trip soon down to ogden to an allergy specialist to see if it's serious enough to have medicine available if she accidentally comes in contact with peanuts....so her throat doesn't close up....I was sick and puking my guts out this week, in between all this fun stuff...and the icing on top......Chris is going in for knee surgery on Wed.......now why am I blabbering on and on about all our problems. I'm not....I'm actually truly grateful that we have a wonderful thing called Flex Spending, and WONDERFUL insurance that has came to the rescue more than one time. And since this is my family journal, I really wanted to post this so in 40 years I can look back, read this, and say "You totally made it through that chaotic month!!"

I actually checked your blog last night wondering why you haven't updated....
I'm sorry things have been hard! Glasses aren't too bad, Adyson has adjusted beautifully. ;)
I keep checking it too!! If anyone can pull through this month, its you Melissa. You're superwoman.
Wish I didn't live so far away, I'd come help out somehow!!! I'll just say a little prayer or two for you once in awhile :)
Luv Ya Cuz.
Oh, and I hope you didn't think you upset me with the whole breastfeeding comment....I love other opinions!!!
HOLY COW! I can't believe all that has been happening. We just started the flex spending program.......but I hope we don't have to use it like you have the past couple of weeks.
Good luck to you and your cute family :) GET BETTER!
What a plate full! When it comes at you all at the SAME time it really takes it toll on the stress o meter! I'd blog it too! Isa will look adorable in glasses. Tonsils are better to come out when your young... all she'll remember is jello and popsicles!
I really hope your little one's allergy's aren't anything too serious! Nothing is worse when Mommy's are deathly ill especially when al this is going on. hope you feel better! Good luck to Chris and knee surgery.
Oh and a solid AMEN on flex spending and amazing insurance.. the last thing you need is a large bills after all is said done!
Hang in there!
It really is true that when it rains it pours. I had noticed you hadn't posted for awhile too. It should just be a rule that moms should not get sick when there is so much going on. Good luck with everything!!
I knew something was wrong, when you didn't update your blog. I hope everything and everyone gets better soon.
Oh no! So sorry for the down pour. Been there done that with the tonsil thing on a 4-year old. I feel your pain on that one. I'll send lots of loves your way if she gets them out. And if your other sweet little one does in fact have a peanut allergy, I'll tell you about the allergy doc I took Allie to that saved our lives. SO worth looking into. Good luck!
Good luck with everything! We have been sick too and it is hard to focus on anything!
Holy smokes you have had a run for your money (literally!) I hope things start looking up. Good Luck with all the tests and doctors. Keep us posted.
Oh man! What a week. I am so sorry. Call if you need a little girl time. What days are you swimming this week? (if you feel up to it)
Wow...you have had a lot going on! So sorry it had to come all at once. Good luck with it all!
Yikes Melissa..I am so sorry! Definitely be grateful for the insurance/flex spending help!! We are all uninsured(long story) and just pray that each Well Child nothing looks questionable...So Scary:( Let me know if I can help. I'd be happy to watch Eva while you go on the Isabella or both while you go with Chris?? Or just walk on over her and have some "chat" time:)
I feel horrible that I'm so close and had no idea any of this was going on. PLEASE let me know if I can help you!!
Oh my word, you have hard a tough time. Sorry to hear about the peanut issues and the oxygen. No fun. Glasses are cute. Your girls are such dolls. Hang in there ;)
