House Projects

So we have officially finished painting the garage and house and the gutters are almost all up. We can't get over how much better the house looks with the "new" foundation. We have been busy this weekend raking the never ending leaves, after this last spring we learned our lesson and will make sure every leaf is out of the yard and street before it snows. Colin has been staying pretty healthy. We went in for his 3 week check up on the 14th and we have officially started his Asthma Action Plan for the winter. He will be taking his Pulmicort daily until Spring when we take him back him. Xopenex as needed and lots of prayers for a healthy winter. He still had a couple of lymph nodes on the left side of his neck that were swollen, and one on the right. They also found four in the groin area that were swollen. So we need to keep an eye on them and let them know if they get any bigger. He did start to have a nasty runny nose yesterday and a cough started last night. So we are going to start up the Xopenex and give the the Dr.'s a call in the morning too see what they want us to do. The Dr did give us a lot of good info for our vacation that is coming up in a little over a month. Colin will be making his first trip to over 10,000 feet also known as my mom's house. We are worried about his oxygen levels once we get up that high, but we will be prepared and have a game plan in place. We can't get over its Thanksgiving week, we are looking forward to seeing Aunt Acacia , Uncle Dave and Aunt Sarah who are all coming in from out of state. Will update more soon. Have a great week..

I know I haven't been very good about this blog. But, we have been really busy working on the outside of the house and by the time we get home at night its dark and we all want to go to bed.

We had a great Halloween Week, Sunday the 26th we had the Parents Reaching Out Halloween Party, Tuesday 28th Trick or Treat at my office, Wed. 29th Trunk or Treat at Church ,Thursday Colin had his Hallween Party at Preschool then Friday came around he was pretty much done with the whole Hallween stuff. We did make it to a couple of houses, Aunt Amber's, Grandma Nancy(neighbor boys gma who lives a couple door down from us)and a coworkers house. Colin was a bat this year and let me tell you he was one cute bat. We did manage to get the siding up on the North side of the garage in Oct. and last weekend we got the new gutters up and then the biggest task of all this fall, my Dad and Whitlow got the foundation done on Nov.3. It looks like a totally different house now and we can't wait for Spring to come so we can get out there and work on landscaping. Colin has been staying pretty healthy, he was on some antibotics for a Sinus Infection and we started Pulmicort back up every day and Xopenex as needed for his lungs. He took his last dose of antibotics on the 3rd and by the 4th his lymph nodes on the left side of his neck and jaw line were pretty swollen so they started him back on some more antibotics for 10days. They found it weird that he got an infection in the lymph nodes that quick after his last dose of antibotics. But this is Colin we are talking about! Thanks for checking in on us.
