Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas and got much more than what we deserved. We spent Christmas Eve with my family and then went back home to spend Christmas Day with Trent's family. Unfortunately on Christmas Day, Trent got sick yet again. He had that same cruddy stomach virus he got 2 months ago. Bless his Heart, atleast it did not last so long this time. Anywho here are a few pictures.

These 2 babies Jalie andd Brynlee were being my baby girls on Christmas Eve. They were hanging on me like 2 little leeches. Can't see poor Jaylie much.

These babies are just Gorgeous and look just alike. Jalie is 4 (will be 5 in January) and Brynlee is 2
Me and My most Wonderful hubby on Christmas Day.


For Trent's birthday, his parents got him/us this entertainment center and I got him surround sound.

Anywho, Trent has re cooperated and doing much better thank goodness and we should be getting his blood work results back this week from his thyroid and kidney that was drawn last week.
Bullet on the other hand we found out yesterday does in deed have a Thyroid problem and is now on daily thyroid pills. God love our little problem child.
and Last but not least. I am doing great. No complaints from me.
Hope everyone had a Wonderful Christmas and has a Wonderful New Year.

Health Update on the 3 of us!!!

K so the best of the news first. Monday I went to the Doctor and got released from my back strain. Everything appears to be good with it now.

Now the iffy news.

We took Bullet to the vet last week to get a cortisone shot. Basically to make a long story short we used to think the shots did not work but we were getting desparate due to the constant scratching and him going bald. The vet seen him and then proceded to tell us he thinks Bullet either has a food allergy or a thyroid problem. We have now had him on a new food for 5 days and it is not getting better therefore we will be taking him back at the beginning of the year and testing him for a Thyriod problem.

Yesterday Trent followed up with with Dr. Khim his urologist with the kidney stones. There was no blood or infection in the urine therefore the kidnes stones are gone. Yippee Wonderful Christmas present to him. The only problem is, 1/3 of the stone we sent off for testing was made of Calcium Phosphate which can be a sign of either Kidney or Thyriod problems. The doctor said it is pretty unlikely since only 1/3 of the stone came back with the Calcium phosphate but he did want to be on the safe side and test anyways. We drew some blood the other day and we should have those back at some point next week.

That is about all that is going on these days with us.

HOPE EVERYONE HAS A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS!!!

It's Christmas Time

WARNING: This blog is full of almost nothing but pictures.
We changed our main tree up this year and did not make it a police tree. It is royal blue and silver and it was very pretty. However, my wonderful mother in law came over and made it Beautiful. We also bought a small 4 foot tree and made it a police tree so we have 2 in our house now. Pictures do it no justice but here they are.
Yes, Trent laughed at me but I just had to have my wrapping paper to match they tree this year.

Here is an up close picture. We have big ribbon, beads, ball ornaments, and very shiny things stuck in there that just stick out. I love it.


Now on to the Police tree.


It has the same blue and silver with ribbon theme however the only thing on it is Police ornaments.

We have not had a picture of Bullet in a while so here is some of him by the different trees.

In the next one, he was standing to the side of Trent's Police tree and I think he was trying to show Santa that he had been a good boy and learned new tricks this year.


I just love how he holds his treat on his nose until we tell him to get it. He really is such a great dog.


Me mom and Amber went shopping a couple of weekends ago and Colton went with us. I just love that kid to death. He is such a sweet sweet kid.

He wanted a picture with the reindeer.


Anywho, I think we are finally starting to slow down a little bit. Here just a few things going on with us.

  • As of tomorrow Trent will be 10 weeks dip free. I am so very proud of him. I know I never thought he would quit and honestly he always claimed he would but I don't think he even thought he ever would especially not cold turkey but he did.
  • I have said for a while now as soon as I got everyone around me healthy that I would end up sick. A few people said as soon as everyone was healthy I would be preggo. Nope that not the case yet but the case is that I have now hurt myself. I was at work the other night and tried helping a patient that was pretty much helpless and I strained a few different places in my back. I had to file workers comp and see the doctor and I had been put on low restrictions which I follow back up with the doctor on Monday to probably have those lifted. I am doing fine it is sore of course but it is tolerable and the medicine definitely helps. I really have not been taking the muscle relaxer they gave me but the Ibuprofen 800 really seems to be doing the trick well enough.
  • Trent last doctors appointment was almost 3 weeks ago and he still had blood in his urine (but not as much as it had been) and a little sore at times however the doctor just associated it with the healing process of both procedures being done on that one side so close to each other. We go back on Wednesday to see what the progress is now. Doctor says by then all blood should be out of the urine. If there is no blood, that just proves that it was healing process however if there is still blood, we get to search for more kidney stones. Since his last appointment he has not complained of being sore, stiff or anything so my thoughts is it was just healing and we are good to go. I hope that is the case at least.

Anyways, I reckon that is all for now. I hope everyone has a Wonderful Christmas.
