Tim's check up went well. The doctor said he is healing really well, she doesn't even want to see him for another check up. She said his swelling is almost completely gone and the scar is almost unnoticeable.

Brenden is doing fine today. He didn't want to change is band aid because he was afraid it was going to hurt and it did. The clinic has some really good super sticky band aids!

Isn't he cute!

Four stitches.

"I'm a tough guy!"

After Layne got out of school today I took all the boys to the bowling alley so that Layne could make up the games that he had missed fro the last couple of weeks. Layne did pretty good, got a 70 one game. When we were getting ready to leave Layne went to put one ball away (he wanted to use 2 so the 4 games would go faster), well he took a long time to come back to Brenden decided he would help Layne and get the other ball out of the rack. He pick it up and started to come over to me and just as I was telling him that it was to heavy for him, put it down he tripped on the stair. He cracked his chin right on the edge and was bleeding everywhere. I immediately knew he needed stitches. So I went home to drop off the other 2 kids and check with Tim, I wanted to see what he thought and he wasn't sure, but I was! So we took him in and he had to get 4 stitches. Thankfully Debbie just happened to be at our house so she stayed and watched the boys so Tim could come with!

Tim's check up is tomorrow. I will post details about both of them then!

I went to the doctor this morning. I have an upper respitory infection that caused me to have an asthma attack. I haven't had any trouble with asthma since before Tim and I got married so I didn't recoginze the sysmptoms at first. Once I got the inhalor and used it was almost imediate relief. He said this might cause my asthma to flare up for a while, so we will see!

Tim is felling pretty good today. He has yet to venture out of the house though, so tomorrow he is going to go the mens bible lunch at Holy Cross. Then on Thursday he has to get his license renewed since he is going to be an old man on Friday!!

We are being hit with another bad storm today. I hope it clears up quickly!! We do not need a  repete of a couple of weeks ago. Isn't it supposed to be spring!?!

Tim is feeling pretty good today, but a bit antsy. If he moves around to much then his eye starts to hurt so he can't really do to much. I have been really impressed with the plastic surgeon. She personally called today to check on him.

I have a cold and I can't stop coughing. The twins both had it last week and now Layne and I have it. We are trying to keep it away from Tim, because I can't imagine how much it would hurt to be coughing right now!

In the ER.

Mondy after it happened.

Day after surgery.

So Tim's surgery went well. The hole was little bigger than Dr. Honeycutt expected. It was 2 1/4 centimeters big which is about the size of a quarter. The original plan was to lay mesh over the hole and then the tissue would grow over it to keep it in place, but since it was so big she had to put in extra mesh and then put in two screws to stabilize it. Dr. Honeycutt said the screws shouldn't bother him, but he will be able to feel them on his face once the swelling goes down. Yesterday he didn't have much pain, but today he is having quite a bit. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

It was so nice here today. It got to 47 degrees! The boys played outside for most of the afternoon (at least the part where I wasn't chauffeuring Tim). When they came inside everything was soaking wet, but the time change has them all mixed up so I wanted them to get good and worn out!

It has been exactly one month since I last blogged. I guess I got a little busy! We have battle a round of flu and a round of colds. We have had some great reports at parent/teacher conferences and I have been plugging away at school.

I am on spring break this week and it is a good thing. We had a little accident over the weekend. Tim's eye is a very flattering shade of blue and purple. One of our precious, adorable children accidentally threw a toy gun at Tim and broke his eye socket. He has to have surgery on Friday to repair it. He is not able to drive or lift anything, so now I get to be his chauffeur for the week!

I promised a certain person that I would get back to blogging more, so I am going to try my hardest to do just that!!
