wow its been one hell of a week.  my 2 yr old contracted MRSA. yes, this is our second time our family has dealt with this in a year! my 4 yr old had it back in May and was hospitalized for it. Now the 2 yr old has it. She was sick a week and half ago, and must of caught it while at the doctors office for that. *MAJOR EYEROLL* Our luck just isn't with us lately. So when i tell her doctor about my upcoming Tummy tuck he looked at me in horror and said "you should call your surgeon i dont think thats a good idea with her trying to get rid of this and your house has the staph in it and you need to be treated.. everyone carries staph on them but this strand of staph can be bad if youre having surgery soon.. " yada yada. .stuff i knew already. i figured this is a sign. i shouldnt be having this plastic surgery right now. Then i get a phone call from my Nana. She has kidney cancer and they have to remove her kidney 2 days before my surgery was scheduled for. Its between me and my aunt to stay with her and take care of her after surgery. I am blown away by this . Terrified for her. Need to be there for her without worrying stressing about other things. So tomorrow I get to call the surgeon and postpone/cancel the plastics.  There is no other time to do it really. January starts karingtons cheerleading competitions that run until summer. So It would be next summer. I guess I will see then how things are going.  On top of all of that I had to go get an ultrasound of my breast today. One of them have been hurting on and off for 2 months now, and now its ALL the time hurting. I have fibrocystic breast disease so they are lumpy by nature so its hard to do the self breast exam. So they did the ultrasound and the Dr. came in to do it himself after the tech couldnt tell, and he said it doesnt look like there is any cancer but if i have any lumps that get harder or larger i need to get seen again. wonderful! so ive been stressed. in case you havent noticed. On top of all of that ive been eating myself through this stress and thus have gained about 8 lbs, or 10.  whos counting right? ME! its driving me nuts. but honestly i am going nuts! So i smoked a cig tonight. im weak. but they keep me sane. So now I am concentrating on my baby girl getting her better.  If your kids have any cuts on them/scrapes and you have to take them to the doctor for anything.. PLEASE put antiseptic cream on the cuts and bandage them up like fort knox!!! You dont want to have to deal with this crap. Its scary and awful to see them cut a 2 yr old with a scapel to let infection out of a golfball sized boil and her not even shed a tear bc mommy said it was okay and she trusts me.. I BAWLED. I miss yall. hopefully one day my life will be somewhat normal. Its highly doubtable though. *Hugs* think of me and my family if you will. we need all the thoughts/prayers /whatever you like to do's. i hope yall understand why i cant be on here more often. love yall!

Jen, you and your entire family will be in my thoughts and prayers.  My momma always told me that God wouldn't give us more than we can handle.....but I question that sometimes!  You are going through so much now and that along with the staph infection....wait on the plastics, you will have another good time.   My Mom had pneumonia and was in ICU.  Caught MRSA there and between her age and the pneumonia they couldn't lick it...so don't mess with this stuff! We love you and miss you, but understand why we haven't seen you of late.  I think we have all been a little absent lately.....life goes on...  Take care of your little one AND YOURSELF!

OMG!!! I was just reading about MRSA two days ago... VIRGINIA SHUT DOWN 21 schools because a 17 year old got it and passed away! So they shut down schools to have the hazmat people come in and scrub/santize/steam...  they said kids are especially at risk in locker rooms, places with gym mats etc... which of course totally freaks me out because Nunu is in gym. And last week when she got an abcess on her leg... I FREAKED OUT AND THOUGHT OF YOU!!!! I promise Jen... I was on my way to the ER when her Dr called and was telling me to calm down. I was looking for DR. HOUSE... I SWEAR!! When the dr went did the I & P... Nunu freaked out... and of course I bawled!!!! I had to promise her M&M's and ice cream... lol Please take care of your lil one! I'll be praying for her! and Nana too!!!  LUV U!!!!

She didn't even shed a tear?!  What a brave baby! It hurts me less when Teagan screams and carries on than when she "toughs" it out and doesn't cry at all.   That's when I ball my eyes out too!!! Oh, I am so sorry you are going through this, but it will al lwork out in the end.  You have planty of time for plastics.  Just keep your family healthyand yourself SANE. we'll be thinking about you.  Take a break with us when you can!

So sorry to hear that. My thoughts and prayers are with you and you're family. Take care of that little one. Staph is nothing to mess around with. There is always another time for plastics. ((((HUGS))))
