Keelen's Braces

Yesterday was the day for Keelen to get him new additions to his legs. I had to farm my other kids out to friends because Matt had to work, so thank you Reghan and Angie for watching my wonderful kids. It was quite an amazing process. They built them while we were in the office. He didn't mind the braces at all. He didn't like the guy who was building the braces to leave the room. What a social person. After getting the braces on we went we had to go to our appointment at the Shriners Hospital. Alot of people were asking questions like how long does he have to wear them, ect.... Well the doctor wanted him to wear them as much as possible. They have a locking thing at his knee. They want us to have it locked 4 hours during the day and at night. Last night he didn't like it at all. This morning also I took them off to change his socks and he said ouchy ouchy... it broke my heart. He is starting to get bruises too. He has to go back in 4 months.

I need to find some knee high socks

Still sick edition

This past weekend I went to a Hearts at Home Conference. It was WONDERFUL!!! I have went to a couple in the past years and love them. They are always encouraging and getting me back to where I need to be as a mother. One of my favorite workshops that I went to was about blended families. I was so encouraging knowing that I'm not in this myself. It is going to be hard no matter how you look at it.

While I was away the girls were STILL sick. I thought that we would never get rid of it. It was kind of nice because I think that the girl "help" the boys get into stuff. I love taking pictures also so here are some sleeping pictures of the girls... they are so cute

Earlier this week I took Griffin and Estin to the doctor and found out that they had influenza. Now I think that Keelen has it :( Not good. We are suppose to go to the Shriners Hospital in Chicago on Monday. He can't be sick for that. I can't find my all important children Tylenol. I guess when I firgure out what is going to happen I will go out and get some.
