What happened??

A few have e-mailed and asked what happened to Gavin(the boy in my daycare). I will do my best to keep it together long enough to write this without tears all over my laptop! Gavin had asthma. He would sometimes need breathing treatments, but not really a big deal. Well Friday(13th) his teacher said he seemed a little tired and not himself all day. We called mom and dad and they said asthma and that they would give him a treatment that evening. Well I guess the next day Grandma was watching him and said he seemed not right. She took him to the hospital and turns out he had pneumonia. He did not act all the sick, a little wheezy, but not too alarming. I guess they put him in an oxygen tank or something to do with oxygen to help his lungs. His dad called Monday and said things were better and they were giving less oxygen and possible moving him out of ICU. Gavin passed away 2 days later after having an asthma attack.
One of my teachers is beating herself up saying she should have done more, and I think in a way is blaming herself. I reassured her that it was not her fault and that she did all she could have done. It still does not seem completely real to me. We all loved him so much. We spend a lot of time with our kids and we get very attached to them. You can't help it...they become your kids in a way! We are all just taking it one day at a time.
We are going to build a new playground in his honor. If anybody knows of Big Companies that might donate to new playground equipment that would be super cool. We are in desperate need of a new playground!
Anyway, just thought I would share since some of you asked. I guess it is helping me in a way too.

Wrapping my head around it all.....

Well as most of you know I was on vacation last week. We went to Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and Chicago. AMAZING AMAZING trip!! Well...that was until the day I got the phone call...One of the little boys that attended my daycare passed away on March 18th. He would have been 2 on April 14th. This little guy and I were VERY close. I know I am not supposed to play favorites, but he was. I opened my center everyday and he was always the first to get there so we had a lot of cuddle time and one on one time. I was building quite the relationship with his parents too. He meant a lot to me. The funeral was yesterday and it was very tough on all of my employees. I could not look at the parents during the funeral. The thought of a parent burying their child was too much for me. I also had a hard time with the coffin. They are not supposed to be that small. They just aren't it not right. I am a religious person and I love God very much, but I am going to be honest. I am having a hard time understanding why it was his time? Why did God need such a precious angel? I am not angry...just confused.
My employees are taking it really hard. I am going to get a councilor in to talk to them all.
Please just pray for Gavin's parents(Kurk and Tiffani). I ask selfishly that you pray for me and my employees too and that was can have some comfort and closure.

So the doc went over the ct scan with me. I have A LOT of cysts on my ovaries. One that was apparently quite large already ruptured(hence the massive amounts of pain). There is apparently a lot of blood and fluid in my body from the one that ruptured. So...PAIN killers and new birth control for me! I go back in 2 weeks. If the cysts are still there then they might go in and remove them. Wish me luck the new pills work and all will be well. I HAVE to get well vacation....... is in 5 days!!!!

Keep me in your prayers

I had a pain in my side last Thursday. It has gotten a lot worse so I went to the doctor yesterday. They did blood work and a CT Scan. I find out today what is going on. Just keep me in your prayers please.

So...I am more than ready for my vacation! Work has REALLY gotten to me lately. I decided to go and pamper myself a little today. I went and got a way over due TOTALLY needed hair cut. I am posting pics of the new cut. Please excuse the mess in the background. I took them in Joe's "Man Cave" where all of his junk is. LADIES IF YOUR MAN DOES NOT HAVE A MAN CAVE HE SHOULD!!!!! If you give them a room for all their crap, then they don't leave it all over the house! It's fabulous!:0)


Hope everyone is doing well and as ready for spring as I am. It was 88 here today and I LOVED it! I took the kids out all afternoon. We got a big dose of vitamin D.
