Woo Hoo! So not that any of you care, but I'm elated b/c I go for a sinus evaluation and allergy testing (had it done when I was 10 yrs old and showed up allergic to pretty much everything,but since its been so long the drs want to see what shows up now) on Valentine's Day. The only junky thing is I have to go off all my allergy/asthma meds except my inahlers for a full week before that. The Dr agreed we need to do something aggressive so I hope something works out. He said I do for sure have a suppressed immune systerm due to my allergies, asthma (even though its mild), and my stomach disorder. He also extended my antibiotic for another 5 days to help clear up whats still there. I love how my inhalers help me breathe,but hate how they make me shake-I'm such a light weight when it comes to meds. He also gave me another p.r.n. med -but it makes me worse wonkie that I normally am so I will ingest it judiciously.-Okie I'm not sure I spelled that word correctly, but I know how to pronounce it and i know what it means. Whenever I'm exposed to any virus they pretty much land and set up camp in my sinuses and then I get a sinus infection .. then allergy season I have chronic sinus problems usually leading to infections b/c of that. I'm SO excited in hoping the specialist can figure something out or I may have to give up helping in Cubbies and turn into worse a germ freak than I already am. There are other things going on, but I will spare you all that. So on Valentine's Day pray for me!!!! as I'm getting my stick of many needled injection and that the Dr will be a genius and "fix" me.

Jewel, Cannon and I have a new penchant for "I Love Lucy" rented it pretty cheaply so we've been watching one episode before bedtime. Jewel has been reading chapter books aloud to Cannon and I so that's been fun.

Jewel scored her Easy Bake oven for her 7th birthday (so weird my baby is 7). She was THRILLED!!! She and Cannon made a cake the other night. He can be SO good with her; it was very sweet-one of those moments a mom never wants to forget-he made sure she got to do the "fun" parts and he did the other tasks. He repeatedly cautioned her, "Don't touch any of the oven when the red light is on. Okay, Jewel? Repeat back to me what I told you. Okay, because it is hot and you will get burned."

More later...

Love,
Jennifer
