Knee Surgery

It seems like every summer I have surgery so it won't interfere with my school year. Last week I had knee surgery to fix torn cartilage that has been bothering me for over 4 yrs. now. It's something that started to hurt over time when I was at my heaviest. I was getting cortisone shots in it for the last 2 yrs. trying to hold off on getting surgery. I finally got the much needed surgery done and am on the road to recovery.

Jordan has been playing summer basketball thru the high school so that has been keeping me busy with running him back and forth to practices.

Kota's travel ball team is done. He has 2 more games with his city team and all stars starts on July 12th. He got picked for the All Star Team and we are so proud of him. He plays baseball so well and he loves it. I didn't go to his game tonight but Joel just called to tell me he hit a home run in the first inning! Yeah! Baseball is the sport that Kota loves most. His position is short stop and he plays that spot with determination and passion! I love watching him play!

My poor Sunny has been a nervous wreck this last month. She is deathly afraid of storms and going to the vet and getting groomed and she's had more than her share of fear to last her the rest of the year. When the tornado hit Streator we were not home and she was here by herself. My mom came to check on her and ended up staying for two hours until we got home. Mom said she was a shaking, nervous puppy. We have also had more than our share of thunderstorms. She shakes terrible and pants. I give her Benadryl but that doesn't even seem to help much anymore. I took her to the vet for her yearly shots and when I brought her home she was itching and scratching like crazy. She was a mess and couldn't relax. I called the vet and she said to bring her back cause she was having an allergic reaction to one of the vaccinations. She gave her a shot of cortisone and I gave her prednizone for a few days after. She is better now thank God! Then she had to go to the groomer and get all that fun stuff done so my poor baby has had a terrible summer this far!

That's all for now. Enjoy the rest of June cause it's almost over. The 4th of July will be here soon enough. And the fireworks will make Sunny scared as well!

Root Canal

After 4 visits to the dentist I still have not been able to do the second part of my root canal! I have been so full of infection and I'm on round 3 of antibotics! I have to go back Monday and have it cleaned out again then hopefully in 2 wks I will be able to get it finished! This has been a nightmare that actually gave me nightmares about losing my teeth!!

Summertime and the living is Easy.....

It's official! I'm on summer vacation. For the next 12 weeks it's sleeping in, sun, baseball and good times! I love being off with my boys in the summer. I am free to run them here, there and everywhere! This will be the last summer for only 2 drivers in the family. Jordan will get his permit in Aug. and then be able to get his license next May! Oh my.....a whole new set of worries to consider. I will be happy to not have to run him all over God's green earth though. I'm not gonna lie!

Kota is almost done with travel baseball. He played last weekend and they won first place in the Gold Glove Tournament in Champaign. He played awesome baseball and even had the other coaches talking about him. Joel and I were beaming with pride. So blessed to have him for my son!

Jordan is playing basketball thru the high school in a summer league. He will play two times a week. It was invite only by the coaches and he did get invited to be in it. Again, so proud of him as well! He says he's not gonna play soccer this fall. He wants to play basketball in a league an hour a way from here. We'll see how that pans out.

Took Sunny to the vet today. She was a nervous mess when she got home. Between the thunder storm last night and the vet today she's wiped out. She was running around, rubbing her her head on the couch and acting like a crazy dog when she got home from the vet. I gave her benadryl and she's finally calmed down and is sleeping! Thank God! Poor thing :(
