Update On Ry

I know I promised for an update on Ry yesterday.  Better late than never right? There's been a lot of personal issues going on the past few days and well today some more kind of hit the fan. I woke up this morning and it was 8:30 am but didn't fall asleep until after 3. But Ken had to work this morning and for some reason the last two weeks I have been extremely exhausted. Like the exhausted you lay down on the bed to relax, check your phone, or watch tv and you pass out and sleep for three hours not realizing you fell asleep until them three hours have passed. Yeah that type of exhaustion.  But back to the original reason for the post...

Update on Ryleigh....

It was two weeks Friday since her surgery on the tenth of June. My last update she was still in severe pain with her jaw alone. Well by the following day she took one dose of regular Tylenol that morning. That night she slept with an ice pack and I made her take a dose of her actual pain medicine so she could get some sleep, she didn't ask for any because she wasn't in any pain. The reasoning for making her take it was because both my kids are like me and have trouble sleeping. Whether it's falling asleep, staying asleep, or both. Mainly just falling asleep. Rys is anxiety related insomnia and Brayden's is one of the major signs we learned about his autism. But Brayden takes melatonin and Ry won't anymore because she felt it contribute to her having bad dreams. Well on nights it's extremely hard for her sleep we give her zzzzquil. the ones we have are pill form. The only liquid form we have of a sleep agent or would help her go to sleep was the pain med. I mean in the last two weeks she's hardly been active such as going out and wearing herself out. Ugh, there I go just a rambling woman. The next day after the day I just spoke about she took no medicine at all, complained one time of her jaw hurting. Still refused any medicine. And since then she has been back to herself. She had a friend stay the night. She went swimming with said friend the next day. Then this last Friday she stayed the night with Nana and they went to craft crop this morning. 

So thank you to all that have kept Ry in your prayers. They were greatly appreciated and answered. 

Love you all,

Come back ya hear,

Tomorrow Is The Day..

It's damn near tomorrow already, however, I wanted to jump on here and say that if I take a out of nowhere hiatus. It isn't because I don't like blogging or have things to blog about. But tomorrow at again like 10 minutes from now, at eight am. Ryleigh will be having a tonsillectomy.  Every child I have been told just like every older person has told me, that everyone is different. At least will be a week hiatus, two weeks at the most. This all depends on how well this surgery goes. As you can see it's damn near midnight (tomorrow) already and I am up blogging and editing and uploading a video. The purpose is because my daughter one is nervous but two can't have anything after midnight of course to eat or drink. So she is taking in all the drinks she can. No seriously she's having a tonsillectomy, her throat is raw as well as huge tonsils and her throat gets dry. Therefor, she is in them older ladies terms wet your whistle. (I sure am hoping those older ladies meant get a drink and not anything more than that. It's late, I am tired.) I feel as if I haven't gotten anything accomplished this week besides I know for a fact that I have gotten at least 5 loads of laundry done. Yes, I have a lot of laundry, I let it get away from me on top of going threw clothes to sale or give away.  I am hoping after the doctor appointment this coming Monday for Brayden, that we will slow down running errands during the days of the week.

However, fixing to let her get her last drink before midnight and pray I don't fall asleep with her! I am exhausted.

I will catch you all later,
Diedra

P.S. I am not asking you to do so if that isn't how you believe. As I am not the person to push my beliefs on someone. But if you do believe in God. Please Pray! This Momma is nervous wreck as well as my baby girl.

Relaxing Summer! What's that again?

Really as a stay at home parent you would assume that yes, kids are out of school no more waking up early for a few months, all day play by the pool, and play dates. Great right? Right the sleeping in part is wonderful. Pool days here are about everyday when we have a pool up. And we enjoy play dates but relaxing to us could be completely different than your relaxing. During the summer especially this summer the end of May to middle of June we are swamped with dance recital prep, dance recital, softball games and practices if they can fit them in. A just got a call today that Braydens tball starts practices Tuesday and Thursday's from 5:30-7. Then when his games starts they are Monday's and Wednesdays. Which most of Ryleigh's games well a variety of them are on Wednesdays and Thursday's. Then preparing for the first few weeks of June Ryleigh will be undergoing a tonsillectomy. June 10the she gets those bad boys out and for a few weeks following we will live a boring life.  The day before and day of surgery we planned on staying with my parents because they are the closest to the hospital just to insurance a fast outlet in case we have to go back to the ER. Lord willing things will go great and by the fourth day she will be some what able to move. 😬 Also I haven't necessarily touched a lot on it but we are waiting for Brayden to be seen by an Autistic specialist to confirm the pediatricians diagnosis.  However the therapist he sees during the school year also offers services at her house during the summer to children for speech and language. He also in a way to describe it to make more of an understood statement. He's considered "socially awkward", nothing is bad about this but his therapist will be working to ensure he learns the social cues he needs to, to be able to lead a life of normalcy. However what is normal actually. He may not be normal to some but to me he Brayden he is normal. He is fine. I have dealt with this hard. I will touch more on base with my next post because this one is about our somewhat not relaxing summer. But besides the tonsillectomy and therapist appointments  softball and tball is our relaxation. We enjoy watching our children excell in sports and enjoy. With that being said, our kids do enjoy this. If they didn't want to play baseball or softball we won't force it. We, Ken and I, will allow our children to chose in life what they want to do. Meaning if they chose and they enjoy as well as being happy in what they have chosen. We feel as they will succeed and excell. We also feel no matter what they do in life (minus becoming a drug addict, violent person, violator, you get my drift) they will succeed. Also once softball and tball are over, comes July 4th. After that for a few weeks are relaxation at home. We don't really go anywhere or do much but house stuff playing around the house occasionally movies or going to the park. Then we start preparing for school again. Shopping for things such as new clothes and school supplies as well as general appointments eye doctors if they are due, we definitely get dentist appointments (which Rys will soon be ortho), and then just making sure everything is up to date ready for the new school year. In which the next few post coming will touch on Braydens diagnosis as well as school. What are we looking fowArd to this summer and new school year? Can anyone guess what the kids are looking fowArd to in August when school starts back? Leave a comment below and I will get back to you.

Thank you for spending the time to read our blog of occasionally chaoticness that
