Updates on Test's

So Hailey has had a few different blood test's done to check all sorts of levels in her body, most of the test's came back higher then the doctor wanted to see but she made it clear that she should still be okay, but one test ( I can't remember the name of test for the life of me) was so high off the charts, that even for an adult it would be bad. She has never seen it be so high in a toddler that she doesn't know what to do or think, so she sent off all the results to her specialists, her pulmonary dr, her gastroenterologist, her dermatologist, and her neurologist. I'm still waiting to hear back to what they think it could possibly be. We have her Florid Sweat Test finally coming up next week, the last little test to see if its CF or not. All the other test's and symptoms are pointing it to CF so I have to wait and find out. I am just so thankful that I have David's mom by my side during all of this, the moment she found out that Hailey had been so sick she has been helping me through it, telling me what to expect next and how to try to stay calm. She has been dealing with CF with her daughter since she was 3 months old, and Kelsea is now 12 and fighting and strong as ever. Ever since Hailey has her first seizure back in February, she has had countless more in her sleep, and one while she was awake. When the doctor told me that day that she could of lost the fight that day, my heart stops every time she starts seizing, I can't handle having another doctor say that she might not make it through this one, and that I need to "prepare" myself for the worst. Hearing that as a mother was the hardest thing in the world. I cherish every moment that I am with her, and take full advantage of seeing her every day as she grows up. Her doctors are glad to see that she is developing well, and is very ahead in some parts for her age. She loves her big girl panties, and hates being in her diapers now. She still has accidents but she knows when to run to the potty. It's coming along great! I have also come to realize that my little artist is right handed, she does everything with her right hand. She is getting so big, and I love her very very much. I want to keep her around as long as possible. So whatever illness this is that is causing her to be so sick, and to not let her body get ride of the pneumonia better pack its bags and leave, because I won't stop until she is healthy.

Christmas 2010

Hailey had a great Christmas this year, Santa was very nice, she got her first tricycle which she will have to wait till Summer to use, by that time we will be moved to our own little house so she will have plenty of room to ride. She also received great tom-boy toys from her step-fathers family, she even got her first Mr. Potato Head! That family warmed up so fast to her, and she did as well. We see them as much as we possibly can.

We even ended up taking her to the Valley of Lights in Prescott Valley, she loved it! I would post photo's of that but they didn't turn out to great. Needless to say we had a great Christmas Day with all the families. Thanks to Arizona's wonderful heat on that day, we even went for a little hike.



We even plan on going and playing in the snow this coming week, depending on what the Pulmonary Specialist has to say on Wednesday!

Hailey and Jealousy

I have recently introduced Hailey to my friend Zach, it went great until......he gave me a hug goodbye. She threw a huge tantrum and I couldn't figure out why?!?

She loves playing with him, he sits there and makes voices, and tickles her, carries her, and does everything and she loves it! Mommy is nothing when Zach is around! She even loves when he teaches her naughty tricks, and Mommy get's upset. They both laugh.


The laughing stop's though, the moment he decides to give me any attention that takes away from her, which could mean talking to, or laughing with Mommy, or hugging Mommy. She is showing signs of major jealousy, or she has a cute little crush :-)

November

Many things have happened in just the few days so far of November:

Hailey likes the swings again


She at not even 14 months old, takes over the local jungle gym like she owns it.
She loves giving mom a heart attack by running up to the top and going down the BIG slide, ALONE!


She has also learned many words, her favorite few being, "Mine, No, Wait, Up, Poop *I shake my head in disgust every time I hear that*, Done, Play, More, Food, Spider, Dog, and many more. My favorite is when I say goodbye to her she yells "No wait Mommy!" I am glad that I spend as many hours as I do working with her on her speech.

Another very big step is *drum roll please*, she has decided she is ready for........


That's right, potty training! She informs me of when she goes, and has used others potties, so I scrapped up my money, and went and bought a potty chair, she has in fact used it 3 times already, and is loving it!

Hailey 8.5 months old

I can't believe my daughter is almost 9 months old, just that much closer to being a year! Everyone told me how time would fly when you have children, but I never thought things would be going this fast, I remember when her little stump fell off her belly button when she was only a week old. I remember her first smile, and her first laugh.She is a daddies girl, no doubt about it. Her face lights up when she see's him, and when he leaves she is so upset. To see her and her father together makes a smile come upon my face. We saw her crawl for the first time together, and I can't wait until we see her take her first steps by herself, which can be any day now.


Before I know it Shane and I will be taking Hailey to her first day of preschool, then she will doodling her name with some boys name all over her notebooks at school, and telling us that we aren't "cool" parents any more. I can't wait to hear her say I love you to me and her father, or just to say more then Mamma and Dadda lol.

It pulls at my heart to think of how fast my little girl is growing up, I can't wait to see what she will be like when she is a toddler then a young lady. She will always bring a smile on her father and my face.
