Back to the Blog!

So I haven't done this since August, I have never been very good at journaling. Let's face it that is all a blog is, an online public journal. But I am determined to do this...so here it goes again.

So we had a pretty busy Christmas and a very low key New Year's Eve...just the way I like it. We just stayed home, Morgan and I playing Scrabble and Derrell playing WOW. Jasmyne and Jamya were with their Mom.

Morgan has had a great first semester of Pre-school at Briarwood. She loves school. Jasmyne is doing well in the 4th grade, at least when she applies herself...but isn't that how all kids are. Jamya enjoys spending her days with Morgan and her Daddy in the morning before Morgan gets on the bus and then having her Daddy to herself in the afternoons until Morgan and Jasmyne get home from school.

We are fighting a nasty stye with Morgan right now under her right eye lid. It started out as a small bump about a month and a half ago. We tried warm compresses and home remedies at first but that didn't work, so we went to the eye doctor on 12/15. He prescribed augmentin for 10 days and then we went back to see him again on 12/22. He referred us to an eye surgeon inthe office that day and she gave us a drop called AzaSite to use for a week. Christmas Day it started to drain just a little, but not much, so when we went in on 12/29, she decided to continue using the warm compresses twice a day with the drop once a day, adding bactracin ointment twice a day as well and come back two weeks on 1/12. This doesn't seem to be working and Derrell and I feel it really needs to be lanced. It seems to be getting bigger, but we are keeping up the routine. So we shall see on the 12th. When I asked the eye surgeon about lancing it on 12/29, she gave me the impression that she felt like I was a horrible mother for even suggesting it with out working out all the other options. Does that make me a horrible mom? She is just 4 and she continues to comlain about it hurting and stinging hen when use the medicine and compresses, not to mention they are not working. Also everytime we go out in public people love to make comments and offer their advice like I am just ignoring it...I just want to scream...PEOPLE I KNOW IT IS THERE AND SHE IS UNDER THE CARE OF AN EYE SURGEON! GET OVER IT! Oh well, now that I have that off my chest. I will keep you updated.

I will try and gets some new pictures up by tomorrow. The girls are getting big so fast.
