I don't know how my mom's catscan went yet. I'm kind of nervous to call her, but I will call somtime today. I hope it's good news!!!
Well, the doc put me on a nebulizer this week and I can finally talk!! Thank God! I am still not 100%, but it gets better every day. Hopefully I will be back to normal real soon.
We also might be one less kid this weekend. Our Chinese girl is moving. We just aren't getting a long very well, especially her and our boys, so we all decided she should move (I believe I posted that in an earlier post), and the organization she comes from is looking hard for a new home. they may have found one, but we have not heard a definite yes or no yet.
Will update as soon as I know anything.

Ok......sorry I think I said MRI on my blog......I forgot it was a cat scan. I think I even said that when I prayed, but I'm sure God knows what I meant.
Ya, I remember you posting about her leaving.......I thought she was gone already. How is the boy doing?
I'm GLAD they finally gave you something that is working! Can you take that being pregnant? That is one thing I hated about pregnancy.......you can't take much of anything.
That's ok, God knows.
Nope, not gone yet. Hopefully this weekend. Our German boy is great!! He is one of our own. Our oldes is actually going back to Germany with him when he leaves. He will stay for a month. Pretty cool!
Yes, asthma medicine is extrememly safe during pregnancy. It is only inhaled into the lungs and doesn't go into the blood stream at all. If I can't breath, then the baby doesn't get oxygen. I have to use inhalers and other asthma meds all the time, this is just a steam version of those meds. Works great!!

Glad the meds are working and are safe! HOLY SMOKES.........DS1 is going to GERMANY! Are you serious???????? Has he ever been away that long?
He has stayed with grandparents for that long when we lived in Iowa. He will be 13 when he goes. We are very excited for him to have this opportunity. Not many 13 year olds get to go to another country for a month! He's very excited. He will have a great time. We will miss him a lot, and it is very hard to let him go on his own (with other adults), but, we have to let him grow up sometime. ;o)

I'm trying to figure out a way to word things.....
If something happens to DS1 you know it is a different country and laws aren't like they are here......he has his whole life to experience things....just seems like he is very young to send to another country with a family that is not known well. DH is ok with this too? I'm just shocked.
This may come accross like I am mad, but I'm really not, I don't know how else to word things either.
Yes, DH is very ok with this. We both agree this is a great opportunity for him, and we also understand the consequences if something happens. This makes me feel like you think I am a child. I have 3 children and 1 on the way, and I am almost 31 years old. we know these people as well as we possibly can right now, the exchange student is seriously like one of our own children. His parents are coming to stay with us for 2 weeks before they all head back to Germany.
I understand it's harder to let go when you only have 1 child. I was like that when all we had was DS1, even DS2 sometimes. However, once you have more, you realize that you have to let them grow up at some point. The kid has a deep voice, is taller than me, has a mustache and I'm sure hair growing in many other places. That has also made me realize that we have to start letting him grow up. The students brother is going to fly back with DS1, and stay with us for a month after he brings him home. the students parents, because we are willing to let the brother stay here, have graciously paid for DS1's plane ticket which was over 1,000.00. They wanted him to stay for the entire summer, but we said, let's just do a month.
Am I worried? Of course I am, that's what mothers do. Will I miss him? More than you know. But, one of the worst parts of being a mother is letting them grow up. He wants to BE an exchange student and in 2 years, he is old enough to go and live for an entire year in another country with people we have NEVER met in our lives, and won't even be able to talk to before he goes. At least we know these people, and they are extrememly caring and nice. This gives him the chance to see if he really does want to do an exchange in 2 or 3 years.
Basically what I'm saying is...we have thought this through completely. We know the risks. we also know at some point you have to let them go. Think of it this way, if he was me, in 4 years he would be married. We have a little different perspective on things since we have been through things like that at a much younger age. Plus, boys are MUCH different than girls. So, I understand how you would be VERY worried about your daughter. I would be too. Thank you for your concern, but we have it under control. I am not angry at all, but I wanted you to know my side of this.
well, definitely did NOT want to make you feel like a child. That was not my intention.
I never got a notice that you posted another comment. That's weird. I was wondering.
For some reason, people treat me like a child a lot, and I get really defensive about it. I know it wasn't intentional, it just happens to me a lot. A lot of people don't even think I am as old as I am. Not that 31 is old, but they think I'm like 25 or something. Even one of my REALLY good friends didn't realize that I was turning 30 last year. She thought I was 26 or something. I have been through a lot, and so I feel like I'm at least 40. ;o) I just wanted you to know that yes, we have thought it through, and as DS1's parents, we think he is ready. I appreciate your concern though. ;o)
