Oh, What a Day.......

The past two days have been........well........hard!  Jordan has been sick since Saturday with the flu and he's had the worst bloody nose known to man I think!  We have had him to the ER two times in the last 24 hrs. trying to get his nose to stop bleeding.  He was running a low grade fever since Saturday and had a cough.  His nose started bleeding (which we are used to) on Sunday afternoon and we could not get it to stop for nothing!  I preceded to take him to the ER where they clamped his nose, took blood, hooked him up to an IV, ran medicine thru the IV and diagnosed him with type "A" flu which they consider the swine flu at this point.  They got his nose to stop bleeding (thank the good Lord!) and released us with a prescription for Tamiflu and told us to "watch" him due to the sickle cell.  I called his Dr. on Monday and they wanted me to report in with them everyday until he is well and let them know how he's doing.  When the Dr's office called on Monday his nose was again in full fledged bleeding mode.  We once again could not get it to stop so the Dr's office told me we could take him to an ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat specialist) or take him back to the ER.  We once again headed to the ER to get his nose clamped and be sent home 2 hrs. later.  This visit will be a very expensive (how to clamp your son's nose properly) visit!  Anyway, he goes back to school tomorrow and now Joel is not feeling well.  I'm off now to Walgreens to a script for Tamiflu filled!  Hope everyone in your neck of the woods is well.

What's Been Goin On??????

Boy have I been busy! I'm in full time school teacher, soccer mom, busy wife mode! School has been keeping me busy every day but soccer has overtaken my life! LOL! I have time to post now since Jordan's freshman high school soccer season is officially over. They finished the season with I think 16 wins, 3 losses and 2 ties. It was a great season and Jordan had 7 goals. Not too bad for his first year of high school.

Kota plays his last soccer game this Saturday. It has been a horrible season for his team! They have only won 1 game! Kota has had a very good season individually though. His whole team has only scored 9 goals all season and Kota scored 4 of those. We are proud of him! He says he's not playing soccer next year. By the way, he's not a very gracious looser!

Since soccer is almost over that must mean only one thing...............BASKETBALL IS ALMOST HERE! That's right people...the favorite sport in our house! Kota will once again play on the travel basketball team and Jordan will play his freshman year of basketball. Jordan just brought home tonight the order form for team shoes. Thank God the school gets a break on the cost of the shoes. I know Kota will get good playing time on his team and I'm hoping Jordan does is well. We will just have to wait and see and pray for the best.

I took my class on a fieldtrip to the zoo last week and we had a blast. The photos below are of said trip.
