HELLO EVERYONE!!!
Its been a bit since i've updated, and days since i've been online. The days are long and have just blurred together. This is the first time i've been home since last Monday, and its just to get some stuff and get away for a bit. Its been a rough week, and Peanut has been through a lot.

Things were slowly going downhill, and yesterday (Friday), has been by far the worst day. She was put through hell and is still feeling the effects of it all. It really breaks my heart. At this point, she is still on TPN, her feeds have been stopped since about 2am Friday morning, she has an infection at her gj-tube site, she has a catheter, is on antibiotics, I could go on an on (there is more, but its just too much to get in to). She has had trouble with her tube (it came out Thursday night) and had to be put back in on Friday, she had an ultrasound and x-ray on Friday too, multiple rounds of sedation, has been on IV morphine for pain, as well as gravol and ondansatron through her IV because she has been throwing up for days now. She started throwing up (steadily - she was doing so randomly before that) Thursday night and was still going strong through this morning (she started throwing up again tonight - I've lost track how many times she's thrown up now). She is at the point that she can't throw up anymore, so she is just dry heaving and feeling horrible. Since she doesn't really eat orally, there is nothing for her to throw up except mucous/bile or whatever she had to drink. So you can imagine how awful she's feeling. Its been really bad, and we have taken soooooo many steps back.

She has another test this coming Tuesday, so of course, any extra good thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you to those of you who have checked in on me and Peanut, offered your good thoughts and prayers. Its nice to know that despite me not being able to be around much right now, that Peanut is still in your thoughts. So lots of

to you girls!!!
As for Big Gives, the kids have gotten so many this week.



The kids have LOVED their surprises, and its been a great pick me up for Peanut in the hospital. I just love seeing her face light up when she finds out there is a package waiting for her.

I have been trying to keep track of them, and I hope I haven't mixed anything up or forgotten anything (PLEASE let me know if I have). I have pics, and will get them up when we get home, I just don't have time right now.
In no particular order...
Allison - DIS: tebi73 sent the kids adorable autograph books, a Princess necklace for Peanut - that her puppy has worn since she got it and a Toy Story ball for Monkey. They love them, as do we. They can't wait to meet all their Disney friends and get them to sign them, Thank you SO much.
Ellen - DIS: ellenbelly sent the kids Cat in the Hat stuff. Peanut got a Thing 1 dress, ADORABLE and Monkey got a Thing 2 shirt and shorts. Monkey thought his were PJ's,

and Peanut can't stop talking about her dress and how she is Thing 1 because she is the big sister.

Its so cute. Thank you bunches!
Michelle - DIS: Maeb sent Peanut a really cute backpack. Its so tiny, and just so pretty. Peanut can't wait to use it. Thank you!
Jody (not sure of DIS name?) sent the kids lots of wonderful goodies, and adorable picture her daughter drew. Love it! Both the kids got beautiful crochet "dolls", Peanut was a little girl dressed like Minnie Mouse, that she promptly named Sally (you'll see why in a second). Monkey got the Cat from Cat in the Hat (which is why Peanut named her dolly Sally). They are amazing, and everyone who has seen them have raved about them. Peanut also got a crochet hat, necklace and Minnie purse. She got an adorable Minnie clip, that Peanut can't wait to wear with the Minnie outfit she got earlier in the Big Give. Monkey got a Mickey Mouse colouring book and a great Cat in the Hat book. The kids loved it all. Thank you so much!
There's moore!!!
Flora - DIS: Purple Ears, made the kids some adorable Canadian clothes to wear for the Canadian Pavillion at Epcot. We'll have some clothing changes on our Epcot day.

Monkey got an awesome button up shirt with a Mickey Mouse on the front. Peanut got a super cute reversible dress, with Minnie Mouse on the front. Not only will they be great for Epcot, they'll be awesome for Canada Day. Thank you!!
Andrea - DIS: VBAndrea, sent some stuff for both kids and Momma.

Me and Peanut both got 2 bracelets, they are awesome. I love them, and wanted to wear them right away - but was strong and put them away until our trip. Peanut got an amazing Daisy dress that Peanut loved, she especially loved that there was an apron on the front. Monkey got a shirt with Donald Duck on the front. The stuff was amazing, and we love it all. Thank you tons!!
And last but not least, Dania (unsure of Dis name?), sent Peanut a dress up Cinderella dress. She loved it. Her hospital gown is blue and keeps saying its the same colour as her new Cinderella dress. Its really cute. Thank you!
