Cambrie update:

Yes, my tube clogged yesterday but thankfully it wasn't a huge deal to get it fixed this time. AND...the doctor gave me the wire so that I can manually de-clog it at home. I was VERY surprised that she did that becauses nurses are never allowed to to do anything like that even in the hospital. Only GI doctors do it. But, I've not it. Also, next friday the doctor will put in a tube that is almost twice as big in diameter so hopefully it will stop clogging.

Yes, Kiera has been very sick. Took her to the doctor today. Ear infections on top of the nasty viral bug she's got. This too shall pass.

I'm surviving life ok now. I have buff over twice a week to help out for a few hours. Buff is wonderful to play with Kiera and help me with cleaning. I send kiera to play at a friend's house twice a week, and then I randomly invite people to come over for play days. I manage life alright under those circumstances (as long as kiera is healthy and my tube is working). I'm not exactly the best housekeeper, cook, or playmate for kiera-- but we are getting by from day to day.

steve is busy preparing for finals week which is 1 week away. Kiera misses her daddy (who is now her favorite person). I'll be glad when he has a break for a few days and play with us!

What's plans after finals? Does Steve get a break? How long? Will he be able to help you out?

I am grateful that Buffy has become such a great help (when she has time). Next weekend she will be done with her class, and then she should have more time to help you until and unless she gets into the Nursing Program that will be starting the first of April. She passed the test to clep the pre-req. class she missed today "with flying colors"...so we will see what happens.
Cambrie, it seems like most of the time (I saw) that your tube got clogged, it clogged just at the end of your feeding...what if you just got rid of it a little before it ran out to avoid that last bit that wants to clog? I don't know. Maybe that wouldn't make a difference.

I'm just glad that you sound a little more upbeat than you have recently.

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
