"Going on Vacation Going on Vacation"

I can't wait we are leaving to go down south for a week on Sunday we seriously need a change in our daily life around here. Dave was in the hospital for 25 days out of a month and had 4 surgeries, 3 open wounds and 11 stitches. Richard went in for his 6 month check up and found out that his aorta has increased in size since his last measurements and is now on heart medication. I'm so sick of hospitals and of cold weather so we are escaping for a week to feel like normal people again. We will be taking a big first aid kit though seeing as Dave still has 2 open wounds and stitches. Wish us luck.

Kyle's cat Max

We have a cat that carries dolls around in his mouth and wines (sometimes). I put them away every morning and he brings them out at night and puts them all over the house. They are Winnie the Pooh and Tiger etc. Have you ever heard of that. It is very cute.

Finally blogging again

Alot of updates to do since the computer has been down the power cord was broke and had to buy another very costly. To start Paige is totally moved out and living with her mother but Dave still has custody of her for now. Child protective services told her mom to bring her home Sunday night by 8 p.m. well instead we got a phone call from the state police saying that she wasn't coming home because she didn't want to and who knows they filled his head with out there so by the end of the conversation the officer told Dave to grow up and hung up on him. All Dave was doing was trying to explain is that he has custody of her and wanted her to come home. Dave called and put in a complaint. We talked and decided just to let her stay there because in 6 months she will be 17 and can decide where she goes anyways and Dave doesn't have the strength to fight with her mom and we said it just is worth it anymore. Than 3 days ago we had 3 cop cars in our driveway they brought Paige over to get clothes don't they have better things to do with their time? Starting to lose faith with the police force. Whenever her moms cry's she gets what she wants. Dave still has broken ribs and other things going on and has to go see a stomach specialist and throat specialist and so on and on and on. Sky is finding classes for collage and has her ID for Delta. Richard turned 15 today so sad :(. Kyle has to go see a heart specialist on Monday to see if he has the same thing that Richard has. Trevor is doing ok for now.

I'M AT THE END OF MY ROPE

To start we are having so many problems with Paige. She had the state called on Dave because he slapped her on her hand. She has been lying and doing so many things to cause problems. She went to her moms for the whole Christmas break and when she came back we made her delete her myspace because of the nasty things on it. Her mom called that night Paige cried to her and her mom called the state and said that Dave and I hit Paige. So know we have to be investigated about that one. I told Dave that he needs to send her back to her moms or we will git a divorce if this happens again because I will not be branded as a Child Abuser because that will stick with me for the rest of my life and I willn't have that. I don't want to send her away but I cant take it anymore she is a out of control teenager. So it will come down to Dave which I think he doesn't have it in him to send her back to her moms where she wants to go anyways. I'm scared about having this affect the the boys if they were taken away from me. Their father said that he would never let that happen but you never know what the state will do. They are going to question Paige and Sky at school this week and then come talk to us. I'm just so stressed out right now and crying alot. Please pray for us we need it.

FEAR

I have a big fear that both Richard and Kyle have Marfun Syndrome. Kyle will go to the doctors on the 13th to get his referral to see a heart specialist. He has some of the same problems Richard has with catching his breath and so on and I have been doing research on Marfun Syndrome and it states that during teenage years for no reason they will get stretch marks along their lower back and butt. Which I have discovered that Kyle has and they are big and deep and purple and have gotten worse over the last month. He hasn't gained or lost any weight to give reason for the marks. I seriously think I'm about ready to break I can't take much more bad news with these boys. I have already been told that Richard has a Larger than normal Aortic Valve. So I went back through 5 generations to check it out and the results were that in every generation there was one tall person and that person either died of a heart condition or has a heart condition. My brother who is only 41 has heart issues and is 6'4". My father is 6'3" and has a pace marker and has leaky valves which is a condition of Marfun. My grandfather died of a heart issue when I was 1 years old and his father died young of a heart issue. So I just feel numb with fear of what the future holds with the boys.

Christmas morning

Aaron and Richard they look like they could be brothers Its funny though Aaron is 19 years old and Richard is 14.

Kyle and Richard sporting their new coats they both really needed winter coats.

Christmas morning Richard, Kyle, Sky and Trevor in front of the tree.

Feeling Sad

I'm putting my Christmas decorations up and came across the boys wreaths from Preschool the wreaths were made from their hand prints and the berries are their fingerprints and a picture of them in the middle. I just don't know where the time went. I catch myself looking through old pictures of the boys when I'm missing them being little which lately is alot.
