100 Days Smarter

Well, today marked the 100th Day of School! Normally, this celebration is held in January, but when you throw 5 snow days into the mix, it gets pushed back to February! Regardless, we had a fabulous time in Room 10 today, celebrating being '100 Days Smarter'!

In our writing centers, my darlings had to write about what they would do with $100. Their answers are so funny. I wish I was still innocent enough to think that $100 would get me a new car and a pool. They also had to draw what they will look like when they are 100 years old.

We are officially on the downhill slide of the '10-'11 school year. Hard to believe in a few short months, another year will be in the books!

My students, celebrating in style!


More snow in the forecast for much of Kansas this week....supposed to get 4-6" here in Wichita by Wed. morning. Maybe snow day #6?

Also, not sure how accurate this is, but one of my teacher friends, who follows the 'Farmers Almanac' says that Wichita is supposed to get a huge snow storm the end of March. The book says 16" of snow! Crazy! I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Do you have snow days built into your school calendar? Do you have to make them up? I'm not sure how all that works since I've never lived in snow country. Low 70's here all week and up to 75 all next week with sunshine.

9 1/2 Hours

9 1/2 hours until my sweet baby girl goes in for her third open heart surgery.  This isn't just any surgery.  It's a big one.  This surgery would be a big deal for a 40 year old.  So you can imagine the seriousness and high risk on a 3 week old.  I am nauseous and scared.  I pray with all my heart that her little body can handle the intensity and recovery involved with something this big.  The nurses have prepared us for the worst, which I am thankful for, but am remaining optimistic and strong in faith.  They have told me that she will be VERY sick for several days following her surgery.  She may even come back to her room in the PICU still on bypass.  Even if she doesn't come back on bypass, she could still go back on it a few days later.  In addition to all her machines and medicines now, she will also come back with a pacemaker, and possibly the ECMO (bypass) machine. Lia opened her eyes today, and looked around the ...

Praising God!!!

Lia has had a REALLY good 24 hours! She passed her carseat test! Has taken ALL her feedings orally! Feeding tube is OUT! Breathing treatments have been cancelled! Ryan and I have started a 24 hr PCS (parent care status) where we are completely in charge of all feedings and medications.  The nurse will only check on us periodically. This is done to make sure we will be able to handle everything at home. NO MONITORS!  I just walked into our bathroom with Lia...simply because I COULD! Pharmacy has come to talk to us about all her prescriptions, and how to administer all medications. Got a basket ready for all the 'skimming' supplies I'll need for home. Arrangements have been made for follow up care with cardiologist and pediatrician! Discharge, yes, I said it, DISCHARGE scheduled for Tuesday!  Ok, I'm crying now that I just typed that! Once again, thank you for all your continued support and prayer!  Don't we have an amazing God? These oral feedings r...
