Thanks!!!

I just want to say a big thank you to all that have already stepped in to help. I have received a bag of clothes from Kristen, and a rocking chair was also given to me from my neighbor. And others are sending things, thanks Jen. Jen also reminded me of how even though we may all be struggling, that there is always a way to help others the have less then you.

Just to clarify, because I read my post and I had many typo's.
Mom relocated here to Utah from CA. She is going through a divorce, she is living with her sister in a two bedroom apt, with her sisters kids. She is doing better today as far as the stroke issue, she did have a high blood pressure this morning and will not be discharged as planned. Baby is still in the NICU, and there is signs of brain injury due to the hypoxia, they are guarding her medical status until mom is able to be there. I will try to keep all of you updated the best I can.

Thanks for the help and prayers for this family.

*****Urgent Need For Help*****

I never ask anyone for anything, but today I am.

Arianna's school nurse asked me today if she could have any of Arianna's clothes that she has out grown. Explaining to me that a woman that works at the school, and just moved her for CA, had a baby girl on Saturday. The baby aspirated muconium and is in the NICU, and mom suffered a stroke yesterday. She has absolutely nothing for her baby and now will have hospital bills to pay, she does not have medical insurance to cover any of the unforeseen cost.

If any of you out there have little girl clothes that you were planning on getting rid of, or any baby items that would be useful to them I am pleading for you to let me know, I will find away to get them to her. We have found a crib, my parents neighbor just so happens to have one that didn't sell at her garage sale.

Please e-mail me @ arnasmom@yahoo.com and I will give you an address to send stuff to.
Thanks in advance for all the help and support.
Love really does go round here.

Funny Pic















I found this pic on my parents computer and just had to post it. This is Arianna's cousin Zarek. They just love each other, although it looks as if Arianna is ready to sock him a good one in the kisser. Really she is just trying to figure out how to get him closer to give him a kiss.

No news is good news...Right

Not much has been going on, other than a bit of a cold going around. First Arianna came down with it, but she is feeling much better and went to school today. But now I am sick, all stuffy and my eyes burn, but that could be from all the sheet-rock dust. Matt and my dad have been hard at work on the bathroom in the basement and are just about done with the walls, one more sand and coat and then they can paint. I can't wait till it is done, then I wont have to go upstairs a 2 a.m. to go potty.
I am getting very excited to start work on our house, but we don't even close for another 30 days. the home inspection is tomorrow, I hope everything is right.
I really wish they was more to update about, but life is just... well boring, but boring can be a blessing all its own!

We have a House!!

We found a house, put in an offer, and it was accepted!!!! It will take about in month to close and probably another for us to fix up a few things and then move in. I am very excited.

Arianna is feeling better, no more fever, but still a little cranky at times. Her H1N1 came back negative but we will continue with the Tamiflu, don't want to take any chances. Thanks for thinking of us and praying for her, it means a lot.

She is sick

So Arianna had a low grade fever for two days, then yesterday afternoon she went up to 103.1. I took her into the the doc, and while there she started to have seizures due to the high fever. We did all the normal test and her CBC came back at 21,000. We are still waiting on the H1N1 test to come back but her doc started her on Tamaflu anyway. She doesn't have the high fever today, and seems act a little happier, but she is not yet out of the woods.

We have however found a house that looks like it would work well for us, with a bit of fixing up/updating. It is on a huge chunk of land, .74, Kenna loved the backyard and ran around it for an hour. We are putting in an offer today, lets hope we can get it!!!

Oh Arna

So I got a call from Arnas school nurse, she was concerned cause she could keep Arianna awake, and she had a slight temp of 99.2, but her O2 sats were fine. She slept the whole bus ride to school, fell asleep during art, and slept through a face wash(she hates to have her face washed). So I rushed on up to the school to get her and bring her home. She was awake and playing in the sensory room when I got there, but I took her home anyway. She was happy and alert the whole ride home. I am doing her vest treatment right now to help clear out any junk in her lungs, and I think I will do a few extra today. She doesn't seem to have a fever anymore, but I will keep that in check too.
Her Doc is out of the office today, and the other doc thinks I should take her to PCMC if she doesn't improve. I think I will tough it out at home, no way do I want to be in the hospital, it is full of H1N1, no thanks.
Pray she only gets better from here.
