Bad Friday

I know it has been a while since I have blogged but my life is so busy. Between appointments and work and being a mom and wife I don't have time for much more. Well today Me, Mom, and Eli were in a car wreck. First thing is that we are all okay. We are thankful that GOD was watching over us today. We were on our way back from Vandy from Eli's head CT. We were on I 65 right around Franklin. I was in the right lane and moved to the passing lane when I did this there was a blue truck that was slowing down so I started hitting my breaks and looked in my mirror to see what was behind me. And of all things it was a tractor trailor and he was too close to stop and he hit us. He knocked us into the concrete wall that they have put while they work to make the road wider and then into another car. We were in Mom's car and it is totally screwed. We got hit from all sides and I can not believe one of us or all of us are not hurt more than we are. Mom looks like someone has hit her in the face with a baseball bat. Her cheek is very swollen and bruised. My neck is hurting from whiplash. Eli is fine, he has a place on his neck from the car seat straps. We are so lucky. I will be sore tomorrow but we survive. I would just like to thank God for being with me and my mom and Eli. I am so lucky that he was there with us today. I will post some pics when we get them developed.

Eli's surgery

Eli will be having surgery on Jan 15th. He has to have his hypoapdias repair. His urethra tube stopped growing and in turn so did his penis. We are not sure why this happened but the surgery will fix it. The skin on the top of his penis is actually longer than the skin on the bottom so that makes it curve down instead of sticking straight out. The surgery will take about 1 1/2 hours and they will be doing it at Vanderbilt Hospital. Dr Brock is the surgeon he did Case Hooten's surgery as well. I am totally scared to death but everything will be okay. I a few weeks to worry over. I will just be glad when this whole thing is over. When he gets home he will have a tube in the end of his penis so that he doesn't pee through the repaired part. He wears that for 5 days and then the doctors removed that. They told me that he will be bruise, swollen, and ugly after the surgery and the doctor stressed that point so that we did not freak out afterwards. I just need everyone to pray for us. I know that we will be fine it is just alot to deal with.

Sorry

I know I have said it before but it has been along time since I posted anything. I just don't seem to have any extra time lately. Halloween was so much fun. Eli wasn't feeling well but we still managed to get some cute pics of him. We dress up at work as M&Ms, I made us all shirt with a M&M on it. We all painted our hair the color of our shirt. I was funny to see us. We actually got to dress up 2 days that week. Tuesday, me, Darla, and Kristen dress ueep and then on Friday me, Darla and Leeann dress up. I was the blue one. My hair was bright blue. My brother thought that I should keep my hair that way. We had a great time at work on Friday on Tuesday it wasn't so much fun. We had a Halloween party and everybody brought something to eat. Everything was going great till about 1:00 when everything hit. I started feeling sick. My belly was hurting and cramping. I worked till about 4 and then told Robert, my boss, that I was so sick that I could stay any longer. I went home and laid on the couch for the rest of the night. I had the stomach bug in a big way. The funny thing is that the next morning I was fine I went to work and had no more problems. But on Thursday it hit again but this time it hit Richie he was sick all that night and the next day too. He miss Halloween with us. Mom and me took Eli around to see Ali, and Granny that was it. Leslie, Greg, and Carter met me at Granny's house so that we could take some pics of our little boys. It was fun. Me and Leslie have been through so much over the last 15 years, wow that is a long time. And yet we are still friends it just blows my mind that our boys are only 2 months different in age and that they will grow up together and probably cause some trouble together.
The next couple of weeks are going to be soooo.. busy that is maybe a while before I posted anything again. Eli has appointments everyweek until Dec 8th. We have to go to Vandy on Monday the 10th to see a doctor for his hypospadias. He probably is going to be having surgery at sometime to fix those problems. Then we go to Vandy on the 21st to get a head CT scan for Eli's helmet he is going to be getting the the following weeks. The 24th is his 4 month checkup at Dr. Smith. Then I have an appointment for an eye exam and a consultion with a oral surgeon on Dec 1st. I have to have my wisdom teeth cut out. Then on the 8th Elis has a appointment with a plastic surgeon to talk about the helmet. Eli will not turn his head like he needs to and now he has flatten one side of his head to fix this problem he has to wear what they call helmet. It will reshape his head. I am not looking forward to any of this. It is going to be very hard on me.
Well I think I have said enough I was going to post some pictures but can't find my camera right now. I will posted them later. Keep us in your prayers over the next couple of weeks.
