SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHH...at last, I thought this day would never get here! I am officially on my Spring Break. Rylee and I have to be at the airport by 7am tomorrow morning because, as you all know, we are going to go see my mom. I studied, packed, and had some good times with my 2 loves last night. When it came time for me to be asleep I was wide AWAKE. I guess the nerves of wanting/remember/thinking of everything that I had packed and still needed to pack along with all the stuff I studied for my LAST medical assisting final made it a little impossible for my brain to unwind. FINALLY at around midnight or so I was in dream land BUT at 5am I was awakened my my own snore! Yes, apparently I snore (I thought George had been teasing me for all these years but I guess the rumors are true). My allergies were/are so bad that I couldn't breath through my nose. I got up so that I could take some Benadryl but we were out. Apparently I was still half asleep and unable to realize what I was about to do to my self when I came to the conclusion that I would just take Sudafed instead. BAD IDEA....I was laying in bed, wide awake until 6:30 or so and then my alarm went off at 7. I pushed snooze til 7:15 and then forced myself to get out of bed. Needless to say this was not an easy day at school for me. About an hour after we got to school the teacher handed us a NEW test review for the test that we took today. It was NOTHING like the review that she sent us home with last night to study...I was NOT expecting that. It turned out okay though, I got a 95! I ended this mod, Mod G, my LAST medical assisting mod with a 100 average! It is safe to say that I will be maintaining my 4.0 status!!! All that is left for me to do is 2 months of EKG and 2 months of X-ray and I will be DONE with school (for now anyways). I wish I would have had this kind of drive when I was 18 but I guess it is better late than never AND 27 isn't THAT old....is it?!?!

I have some last minute things that I need to get packed, toiletries, camera charger, phone charger and things along that nature and I will be DONE packing. I can't wait to see my mom! This time tomorrow Ry and I will be in California!!!!! AHHHH....I can't wait.

that is all for now.........

Excitement

As the days draw closer to getting on the plane to California to see my mom, the anxiety sets in and the reality hits me that I am going to be traveling ALONE with a child who is smack in the middle of her "terrible 2's". I am so excited to see my mom, that the anxiety quickly subsides!!! Rylee has an obcession with Little Einsteins so I have been getting her ready for the plane by telling her that we are going on a mission in a rocket ship just like her Einstein friends and that seems to make her excited!

I talked to my mom lastnight and she had a doctor appointment with her proton therepy doctor to discuss treatment options for the tumor in her lung. Her doctor came up with an interesting and exciting option for my mom! There is a doctor in Europe who has been using a drug on patients with tumors similar to my moms and has had GREAT success with it. No patient has ever tried it here in the United States and she wants my mom to be the first!!! Today we should know if she is a good candidate for the treatment. She has her pre-op with her neurosurgeon today who happens to be on the same tumor board as her proton doctor and hopefully he will be on board with this treatment.  If she has the treatment that will meen that she will not have to have surgery. The drug is not FDA approved so the hospital will take on the cost of the drug and treatment. If she gets approved for it, which the doctors seem to think she will, they could start as early as next Monday, which is when she was scheduled to have her brain surgery. I am praying that this all works out and that my mom will not have to go under the knife again but ultimately I know that God has a plan and that the outcome is in His hands. Please continue to keep her in your prayers.....

That is about it for now...........

Easter

We went to my Nana's house for Easter this year. Rylee had a great time searching for eggs! Here are some pictures....

Dancing before we went to Nana's house! 

Not happy because she wanted to take the dress off 

 

Her hair is getting so LONG!!! 

 

twirling in the dress!

checking to see if the egg was empty before she picked it up and put it in the basket

 

I was busted taking MORE pictures! 

Passed out in the car (note the dress was off because she was having another meltdown)
