Updates and all...

I know, it has been awhile! Alot has happened...we spent 10 days in Colorado, it was beautiful, and we got to see family we haven't seen it years. It was super fabulous until....H1N1 hit us all hard!

All four of us got it, including my dear hubby's sister's family, his mom and dad too. We had to fly home sick, coughing and hacking, but the fevers were gone. Still a couple weeks later, I am still coughing and hacking, this one sure lingers...but hey...at least I have lost 7 pounds from it! Speaking of weight...I am down a total of 57 pounds since May...I really need to kick it up a notch or two and get serious about my weight...darn stress eating! lol

This past Friday the kids got out of school early and Huck took them to Navy Medical to get check ups for the Exceptional family member program...well....when he picked up the boys, Christians left side of his face was paralyzed. It was a good thing they were on the way to the doctor.

Turns out, the doctor says it is likely from the influenza...aka...swine flu! He has Bell's Palsy. They took some blood, gave him a prednisone prescription and and anti viral, and they will check him again on Friday. From what we are told, we can expect it to last anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months.

I went back to my doctor for my check up from my last surgery...things are looking good, the incision is almost completely closed...they removed the implant a month ago, I sure am healing slowly...probably from the prior infection and then the flu on top of that. So, that being said...8 weeks after it fully closes up, he will redo the surgery. Yay me! LOL

The kids had an OK Halloween, Christian wasn't himself, the whole facial paralysis kinda bummed him out, poor fella. I wish I could take it away for him. But, we wanted him to still try and enjoy himself so we went to a friends house, ate, dressed up and went trick or treating. Told him he has to keep his chin up, not to let this get him down.

Anyhow, that is about it for now. Will update more later.


ta ta for now!
