Kids, Tests & Appts

My new favorite quote:

"Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky."


Wow, I have started to write on here several times and life happened.  Since my last post the kids turned 5.  Logan lost his first tooth and has a 6 year molar coming in.  Now he has 3 more teeth loose.  His next tooth is going to come out any day.  I can't believe they start preschool in 20 days.  Class is from 7:45 to 12:00 Tuesday's & Thursday's.  They are getting excited.  They took swim lessons in June.  Logan is a fish in the water.  Lindsi not so much but she is getting better every time we go swimming.  We took them for their 5 year check up nearly a month ago now.  The L's now have an eye appt scheduled on Aug 29th.  Lindsi's eye sight is 20/40 which isn't bad but Logan, one eye was 20/40 and the other was 20/100.  Their Dr thinks we should have it checked. 

Now on to me.  Lets see, I have been having constant cysts on my ovaries.  I get a sonogram every few months.  In May they checked my Estradiol levels and they were over 2100.  The dr was concerned they should not be that high.  They stopped my tamoxifen for 10 days and checked again and my levels were 106, which is normal.  So I went back on the tamox.  I went last week and had a sono and blood test.  I saw my GYN today and the cysts are still there and my estradiol levels were back up to 1247.  I called the oncologist and they took me off the tamoxifen.  I have an appointment to see her on Aug 25th to see what we need to do.  I need the medicine so we will have to find another.  The only problem is they will have to put me completely into menopause.  There is talk of a complete hysterectomy.   I will keep you updated.  I had a Bone Scan, CAT Scan and Blood Work on Monday.  I am waiting on the results.  I will post as soon as I know.  

We have some new pets.  I am not sure if we had Gus when I last posted.  He is our new puppy.  We got a new kitten Sophie in June.  They are in a race as to who is the bigger PIB (pain in the behind).  Gus likes to trench after moles and eat water hoses and Sophie likes to wake up in the middle of the night and wants to play.  They are a great addition to the family.  If we have Sophie as long as we had Hobbes the kids will be 20.  Wow, 20. 

We are taking a driving vacation in September.  Our final destination is Disney World.  We will stop and see things along the way.  We will be gone 10 days and can't wait. 

I guess that is all for now.  I know this is long but I had so much to say.  I am really going to have to get on here more. 

Enjoy the last few weeks before school starts.  I will post again as soon as I have news.
