Black Ties and Diamonds

Black Ties and Diamonds was the theme of the Junior/Senior prom this weekend.  Nick and Morgan went and had a really good time. Before prom they dined at a friends house with 3 other couples. They also attended the post-prom party at Terrace Lanes. Addison went with to watch grand march but was not to happy because she said that all the dresses were prettier than hers. Yes we are aware of how much trouble we are going to be in in the future.

Addison's Pre-school Program

Yesterday Addi had her pre-school program. It was so cute. She and the whole class did a really good job. My only advise to other parents out there is to ask your child ahead of time if they have a special part in the program. (ie. being a frog) then choose not to have them wear a dress. Yes, Addison showed the whole place her pretty blue panties while crouching down being a frog. Oh well, chalk it up to lesson learned! I posted a video of the last 2 songs. ENJOY!!!

The 411 cont. again...

The doctor called me yesterday to tell me the results of the chest x-ray. Apparently I have severe swelling in the tissue around my lymph nods. From this they have diagnosed me with Sarcoidosis. This, from what I've read has no cause and basically no treatment. I will stay on the steroids (YUCK) until I show no signs of swelling. This hasn't happened yet. I am also scheduled to see a Rhumatologist in May just to go over options in managing this "disease".

We got a new camera...Just havin fun!

the 411 cont.

Well I have had a chest x-ray and a urinalysis. The urinalysis came back normal but the chest x-ray showed something but was mostly inconclusive. (I HATE that word) I'm having a CT scan this morning at the hospital. I'm hoping they find something...anything.

the 411

As many of you know I have been having swelling in my feet, legs and wrists. I have had blood tests and x-rays checking for everything from Lupus to Rheumatoid Arthritis. So far all tests have come up negative. My Doctor is at a loss but we are going to see a Rheumatologist in May. I was put on steroids but as soon as I was done with them the swelling started to return. When it was at it's worst I was bed ridden for about 5 days only getting up a few times a day and then I needed a walker to get around. We are hoping the specialist has some answers.

Way to go Matt!

We finished up the youth wrestling season on Saturday in West Fargo. Matt wrestled well and took 1st for the second week in a row. WAY TO GO MATT! He was very happy with his large plaque. It's a nice change from trophy's. His shelf is getting a bit full, not that anyone is complaining. Addison likes to take the daycare kids in his room to show them off.  Matt is glad to be done with wrestling but still has a month of USA to go. Track has now started for Jake and Nick. Nick threw in Lisbon last night. He placed 8th and scored team points so he was happy about that. Matt starts track next week through parks and rec.
