So, it's been a while! I am illiterate when it comes to running computers so if I were you, I would read this post and then skip down and read them from the bottom up.
Tuesday Kael had clinic & backpoke. I was anxious to see his Dr. and get her advice on sending him back to school. I didn't get to see his Dr. (this is becoming increasingly frustrating) so once again everything was very impersonable. This Dr. didn't seem concerned at all about sending him back to school as long as his counts were above .500. We went across the hall for the backpoke where the Nurse Practitioner was there to do the procedure. (AGGGHH) First poke wasn't in the right spot so she tried a second time. Got it. I asked her if he would have a bigger headache from being poked twice and she promised me that it wouldn't cause a headache. I knew better!! So frustrating! He fought a HUGE headache the rest of the day. He couldn't even set up without screaming from the pain. He finally threw-up around 9:00 p.m. and was a totally different kid after that. As for sending him back to school, (he was up to .800) I have talked to a few teachers (from different schools) and they have warned me to keep him home a little bit longer. I will talk with his teacher this week and assess the situation. Sonnie helped me last week with him and says he is doing fine so I guess I am not as big a hurry to get him back. As hard as it has been, it has also been a little rewarding to work with him here at home. I try to see more learning opportunities in the day to day things. I see the progress he has made the past few weeks in just understanding concepts. What he doesn't understand one day, clicks with him the next. This is a great PATIENCE lesson for me!!
I have been feeling a little under the weather the past few days. As I sit here and update, Matti has drawn me a pic and written a poem for me:

Skipping Out and Catching UP
Sickness
When I am sick
I feel like a stick
I sniffle, groan, and even moan.
I have a cough and that's not the end
cause a few months later,
it starts all over again!
Thanks Lala!!
So along with my head cold, body aches, and chills, I have a fever. SPRING FEVER!! I am not necessarily looking forward to yardwork and everything else that comes with spring - just the nicer weather!! HELP!

Hope you are feeling better, we missed you at the Gossners dinner. Looks like you have had some fun parties!!
What???? I can't wait for yardwork!!!
I know, there is something wrong with me! If you want, I will come work in your yard...just can't get enough =)
Sorry you have been sick, you should have told me, I would have brought you yummy treats to make you better!
That makes two of us on the spring fever. I am so ready for it to be here. I just want to be able to ride my horses.
LOVE that poem. It truly says it all. I hope that you start feeling better. Nothing stinks worse than being a mom and getting sick and still have to take care of everything.
Thanks so much for an update. I have been checking a lot for one. Sounds like an eventful few weeks. Hope you get feeling better soon. We all just got over sicknesses last week, except for Aleigha who is still battling ear infection. I totally have Spring Fever. Sunday we got over six inches of snow, so it doesn't look like it will be coming anytime soon. We miss all of you so much. I hope things get better with Kael. Seeing how often Ryanne and Dan get sick, I would keep him home a little longer from school. Keep up the good work. Your pictures are great too, thanks. It is nice to see what is going on back home. Love you all.
Holy moly! what a good poem!! Love you guys...great updates.
We miss you here. Sounds like you are worn out. I hope it all turns around for you soon. Good Luck with everything.
I know your frustrations with dr's, nurse practioners, hospitals, not knowing what to do about school etc. My advice would be to keep the little guy home until his counts are better than that. I have learned to trust your own instincts rather than the doctors opinion (on some things)! Get better and thanks for the beautiful blanket I love it!
