<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">Haven is in 4k this year, she did exceptionally well on her early admittance testing. She has Mrs. Graham and Ms. Jill, just like Venily did. They are phenomenal teachers, I just love them! She goes 1/2 days, 5 days a week, in the afternoons. So far, she loves it!! Her teachers say she is quiet in school, but will burst out and say a whole bunch of stuff at once and then go back to being quiet again, lol. I think she has warmed up a lot to the whole experience from the beginning of the year until now, too. She has a lot of friends in her class! My cousin's daughter, Ashlynn, is in her class as well, so that's been a lot of fun! Kelli and I take turns bringing the girls to school in the afternoons and then Haven rides the bus home. She doesn't like riding the bus very much. I am so grateful for my grandparents, Kelli, and my mom, watching Haven in the mornings on the days that I have to work! I don't know what I would do without them. I am still subbing at Wheatland (I have taught both Haven's and Venily's classes on multiple occasions!). I probably average about 3 days a week, sometimes more, sometimes less.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">Haven is very smart! She loves to read her BOB books or any other easy reader phonics books. She has great number sense and loves to learn about things that interest her! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">Venily is in 1st grade, I can't even believe it!! Wow, is there a change from Kindergarten to 1st! 1st grade is so academically focused and lots more homework every single night. I am amazed at how awesome Venily does in school though! She is a rockstar. She has to read for 20 minutes each night, has math homework almost every night, has spelling tests each week (she has tested out of the "regular" list each time and takes a challenge list each week), and will be having her 2nd social studies test tomorrow. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">Her first s.s. test was intense! I bet if I randomly found 100 adults and gave them the test, 95% of them would get some wrong. It was a "maps and globes" test. She had to know where all the continents and oceans were on a map, where Wisconsin is, that Canada is to our North, Mexico is to our South, that Washington D.C. is on the east coast, all the compass directions for various other things, what an isthmus, bay, island, and peninsula were, where the equator is, northern hemisphere, southern hemisphere are, etc, etc. And she got a 100%!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">Tomorrow's test is on the ancient civilization of Mesopotamia. Say what?! LOL! She has to locate it on a map, know that it is what is now present day Iraq, know the meaning of the name, what 2 rivers surrounded it (Tigris and Euphrates), that they flooded and left behind rich soil for farming, that the first written language was cuneiform and that only boys from rich families learned how to read and write cuneiform, that they wrote on clay tablets, that they made ziggurats, which were high temples to honor the gods, that they believed in over 3,000 gods, that the code of Hammurabi was the first set of written laws, that the world's first story was about Gilgamesh (a half god) and that he was friends with a half man, half animal, plus a bunch MORE! I definitely don't remember learning about things like this is 1st grade, lol!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">She is so smart though! I always have teachers coming up to me saying that they can't believe that she's a year ahead in school because she's so smart. I am so proud of both of them! :)</span>Jennifer Yhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01021633443621344329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853596728938929194.post-43691713149737577392013-10-23T14:23:00.001-05:002013-10-23T14:23:11.586-05:00Summer Recap!<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">I started so many posts and deleted them. It's just so intimidating to sum up our whole summer in words or pictures!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">I am going to make this VERY brief and hope to never again get this far behind!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">This summer we kept very busy! We played outside a lot, swam down at the beach and in pools, attended many library activities and presentations, and participated in lots of other activities.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Haven took beach volleyball and tumbling classes and participated in t-ball. Venily went to summer school and went for a week to Girl Scout summer camp (of which I was able to volunteer 3 of the days). Both girls had a blast! Haven's classes were hilarious, especially the t-ball. She went in not knowing a single thing or even a single term and it was kids ages 3-7, so she was one of the youngest and often times the only girl. Venily loved her summer school class. This is the last year where she was in a "getting ready for" class. Next summer, she gets to pick her classes and there are so many cool ones to choose from like cooking and robotics! Camp was SOOOO much fun!! We are already looking forward to next year. We actually talk about it a lot and still sing all of the camp songs, lol.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Lisa also got to spend the month of July home from Colorado. That was awesome. The girls miss her so much.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Some super random summer pics (makes me really miss summer already!): </span><br />

It's been over 6 months and I have so much to catch up on! The primary reason that I stopped blogging was that I was just too overwhelmed with some hard-to-deal with things. I didn't want to have to write about them and I couldn't pretend they weren't happening either. I will briefly get them out of the way as I try to catch up from this last 1/2 a year!<br />
<br />
* We took Haven out of preschool 2 months early. Without getting into too many details, the neighbor of the preschool she was attending is now facing several felony charges and we just didn't feel safe sending her there any more. It was a very unfortunate ending to an otherwise really great school year. Haven, even though technically a victim, is blissfully unaware that anything ever happened. I, however, will forever be changed from the whole ordeal. It changed something deep down inside of me on how I perceive people and wiped away a good portion of my naivety. I will be relieved when this chapter is officially closed from our lives for good.<br />
<br />
* We spent several months hoping to adopt a family member, but it didn't work out in the end. It was an incredibly emotional journey for me. However, I feel good knowing now some of the processes involved and Jason and I are 100% committed to expanding our family through adoption! After much research, I am fairly certain that we will be doing an international adoption and in the countries that I've narrowed down, China feels like the best fit for our family. Specifically, I am interested in a special needs adoption with a child that has a similar heart defect as Haven. It just feels so right to me! Jason is not as convinced on the "special needs" part, but he will come around. :) I hope to write more about this in the future. I am super excited!<br />
<br />
* Haven had her heart procedure postponed until next summer. I was so mentally prepared for her procedure to happen in July, that it really hit me hard to have to delay it. I hate the waiting and the worrying, but they wanted to wait until she is a little bigger since she is not having any major difficulties right now. Everything will be bigger, which will make the process easier and it will be safer to put her under anesthesia as well. The drawback is that she will be older and it is going to require more explanation and is now likely going to be something that she remembers.<br />
<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for MANY more updates in the days to come! I am going to have to skip over so much or I'll never get caught back up, but I will definitely be writing about summer, Jason's new job, Venily starting 1st grade, Haven starting 4K, Haven turning 4, the girls' joint birthday party, Venily turning 6, and more!<br />

She did so amazing!!! I don't know why I'm still surprised by these things, she's such a great kid! :)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">Our district does the Dial-R test for screening and screens all the kids going into 4K or Kindergarten (if they hadn't gone to 4K) with the same test. This was our first time testing at Wheatland since Venily had to test at Trevor/Wilmot because they didn't allow early entrance into 4K at that time. I was really surprised at how extensive the testing was! She was testing for over an hour and as soon as I signed her in, someone came and took her into the testing room right away and I couldn't see her the entire time! I was super nervous. She is nothing like Venily at this age (Venily's screening was kind of a nightmare at first) but she does get shy around people from time to time. Luckily Mrs. Jacobs (Venily's kindergarten teacher) was involved in the testing and put me to work, lol. I had to make some bunny things for Venily's class and bring them to the sub in her room. I was definitely getting emotional any time I thought about Haven being in there all by herself! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">The testing was set up in 8 or so different stations with Mrs. Graham (the 4K teacher), Mrs. Jacobs and Mrs. Coates (the kindergarten teachers) and various other teacher (including the speech therapist) at the stations. Here are some of the things she had to do:<br /><br />*hearing test</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">*large motor- skip, hop on one foot, balance on one foot, throw a ball at a target</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">*small motor- replicate drawings- cross, circle, etc. Write name. Touch each finger to thumb, cut out a semicircle, rectangle, and dinosaur shape</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">*count to 20+, count groups of objects, identify #'s</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">*identify body parts</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">*identify pictures (bird, bee, etc) and make up a story about them, then rapid identify the pictures</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">*follow directions, directional words, identify the meaning of coldest, longest, etc.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">*colors</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">*they set up different block pyramid things and she had to replicate them with her own blocks</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">*she had to say various words and they listened to how she said each sound in the word</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">Those are just the things I remember the teacher talking about when she went over her results with me, lol! And I really liked that they DID go over her results and what they did, they didn't do that when Venily had screening! The teacher said she did great though, especially given that she is only 3.5!! They evaluated her specifically to see if she would be able to be put in a year early, and she said that she definitely thinks Haven will be able to! I think her overall score was a 98%! I'm very happy, I couldn't imagine making her wait another year. When I teach the 4K class now and think that Venily is SUPPOSED to be in that class this year, it just seems ridiculous, lol.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">I am still surprised though that the screening does not involve identifying letters or letter sounds whatsoever.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">Haven thought the whole thing was so fun! She got cookies, juice, a pencil, magnet, and tattoo when she was done and thought it was the greatest thing ever! I can't wait to hear "officially" that she'll be able to go to 4 year old kindergarten next year!</span>Jennifer Yhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01021633443621344329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853596728938929194.post-15726462082644816202013-04-02T18:39:00.000-05:002013-04-02T18:39:14.572-05:00Haven is 3.5 Years old!!!<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">We love half birthdays!!! :)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">Haven has been talking about her half birthday for weeks! I can't believe that she's 3 and a half already! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">She spent the morning of March 26th at kindergarten screening (which I will post about next) and had so much fun! She then went to preschool, came home, and made a cake to celebrate!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">At 3.5 years old, she is just the sweetest, smartest, more perfect little thing! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">She is getting better and better at reading now. Here is a video of her reading one of her books. She rocks! :)</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">Her 3.5 stats (based off doctor visit 2 months ago) are:<br /><br /><u><b>Haven- 2/12/13- (3 years, 4 months old)</b></u><br /><br />Height: 3'6" (42 inches) (99.20%)</span>
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"><br /><br />Weight: 35lbs, 6.4oz (77.20%)</span>
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"><br /><br />BMI: 14.11 (8.21%)</span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">She is wearing 5's now in tops and bottoms. 11's in shoes. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">Next month she has her follow up for her heart condition. I'm not even sure what to expect from that appointment, but probably more testing and another heart ultrasound and the scheduling of her procedure in July. Now that it's getting closer, it's starting to give me anxiety again. I know she will do great though!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">Haven also starts her next 6 week ballet class next week!

<span style="background-color: #ea9999;">We found out after she was laying in bed and decided to tell her. She cried for 45 minutes and cried herself to sleep. :( I decided to let her pick out a new fish at the store a few days later. She was so excited and picked out a red female Betta this time. Unfortunately, she didn't last even 12 hours. "Reddy" was dead the next morning we checked on her. Jason and I didn't want to disappoint her again, but decided to tell her and she was so upset again. Jason went out the next day and got a red male Betta. So far, so good. The new fish is also "Reddy" (lol). We have our fingers crossed that this one lasts a little longer! I'm hoping that someday we'll be able to get something a little more substantial!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">March was rough for us with sickness! Venily ran a 104+ temp and had a sore throat, cough, and was exhausted all of the time. I brought her to the walk-in on a Sunday and ended up being there for 5 hours! :( Venily ended up testing positive for Influenza B and her x-rays showed some bronchitis as well. She missed 2 days of school and was not 100% until about 2 weeks later.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Jason, unfortunately caught it as well. He spent an entire week in bed crying. He handled it even worse than Venily, lol! I'm so glad that is over and Haven and I were spared! Influenza is nothing to fool around about!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">On Wednesday, we had Venily's 2nd Kindergarten parent/teacher conference. She is doing so well, way above and beyond the average Kindergartener (and she's supposed to be in 4K this year). She scored well above grade level on all of her MAPS and PALS tests. She was also one of the few students who took the reading assessment to figure out reading level. She scored between a 1st and 2nd grade level. She has mastered all of the top 100 sight words for Kindergarten, so we have decided to have her take weekly spelling tests on the words. She'll get her words on Monday and take her test on Friday. She's excited about it, lol! I am grateful that her teacher is willing to go out of her way to meet her needs, just another reason why I love Mrs. Jacobs! :)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">Venily continues to do well on everything else as well. We are now working on having her add more details to her stories and learning the value of various groups of coins.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">Here is a picture of how Venily writes her name on all of her school work, it cracks me up!</span><br />

Venily had a suspected case of pink eye and Haven was having some chest pains that we wanted to get checked out. I must say, even though Aurora switching over their records was a pain, I love that they give you print outs now at the end of each appointment!</span><br />

Her teacher said she read it at school and that she was supposed to read it at home and send it back the next time she went to school. I couldn't believe how well she read it! She's been sounding out words for a while now, but I never thought to have her try a book. We also hadn't worked on any sight words yet. I was so impressed on how fast she's been picking up the sight words though too! She got a new book this week and read it equally as well. She will be 3.5 years old at the end of this month!! :) I'm so excited that both of the girls have inherited my love of reading!! Haven asks all the time "Can I read my book again?"</span><br />

Both girls loved their valentines and picked out which background and which picture they wanted. Haven was extra cute bringing hers to school, she was so excited. And they both were crazy when they got home from school that day, lol. Venily's teacher said that the whole class was still in party mode on Friday and they were all really hyper!</span><br />

She will be taking the Kindergarten Screening on March 26th. I'm so excited! As with Venily, she will be testing a year early into school. I have no doubts that she will pass with flying colors. I am really sad though that she will be leaving her preschool because her teacher does such an amazing job teaching to each child's level. I know that 4K will actually be a "step down" for Haven, but it will be 5 days a week and will get her used to riding the bus and going to Wheatland and will allow her to go right to Kindergarten the following year. Plus, it's FREE, and she gets to have computers, gym, art, and music classes too. And I get to check in on her and possibly teach her class, which will be fun. I also fully plan to supplement her education at home, so I'm not too worried about that aspect.</span>Jennifer Yhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01021633443621344329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853596728938929194.post-39323737101125015822013-03-01T08:48:00.001-06:002013-03-01T08:48:41.590-06:00Monster Jam 2013!<span style="background-color: lime;">Who would believe my little girly 5 year old would love Monster trucks so much, lol?! I won some tickets and Jason took Venily with Andy and Adalein. She LOVED it!! I was nervous because the show started at 7:30pm and Venily usually goes to bed at 8pm, but she did great! She has been talking about monster trucks ever since and frequently draws them at school for assignments. <span style="color: #0000ee;">I got her <span style="color: #0000ee;">Monster T<span style="color: #0000ee;">ruck book<span style="color: #0000ee;">s and videos from the library too. </span></span></span></span>Her favorite is "Grave Digger" and she told me she wants Grave Digger shirts, toys, socks, etc, etc, etc. Lucky for her, I heard that the Easter bunny may be bringing her a Grave Digger t-shirt in her Easter basket! :) </span><br />

But we do get out and do some fun things every once in a while.... Haven is more like me and prefers to be indoors when it's cold out, but Venily likes to play outside!<br />

<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">Haven did well (especially compared to Ven at this age!). The first class she cried quite a bit and I had to stay with her, but she still participated. The 2nd class she cried a tiny little bit and the 3rd and 4th classes she didn't cry at all and did really well, I was impressed! She really improved with her skills as well!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">Venily did amazing! Long gone are the days when she would freeze up around a man! Both of their teachers were guys and it didn't phase her at all. She was high-fiving and yelling bye to them in the parking lot, etc, lol! She also turned out to be quite a good soccer player! She really improved a lot over the month as well and was really into it by the end. Jason wants to put her on an actual team, but we'll see if it fits into her very busy schedule!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">Both girls still play soccer all the time, lol. We got a soccer ball and they dribble it all around the living room and take turns pretending they're Keegan and Ed and teaching the class! :)</span>Jennifer Yhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01021633443621344329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853596728938929194.post-38157116924225861942013-02-23T19:19:00.000-06:002013-02-23T19:19:21.527-06:00Catching up- Christmas eve and Christmas day!<span style="color: #0000ee;">The girls really had a great Christmas this year! :)</span> <br />

<span style="background-color: #6fa8dc;">And she did amazing selling girl scout cookies! It was very cold out and she was sick for some of the selling time, but she went out there and sold door to door and wasn't even shy! :) She met her goal of 147 and got 2 patches, plus a shirt and some other little things. She was very proud of herself!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #6fa8dc;">We also signed her up for summer day camp this summer, so I'm really looking forward to that! I also signed up to be a volunteer for the first 2 days, so that will be really fun! She has a taste of day camp coming up in March as well.</span>Jennifer Yhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01021633443621344329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853596728938929194.post-24306985568726860632013-02-23T18:44:00.001-06:002013-02-23T18:44:18.398-06:00Catching up- Pre Christmas 2013<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We had Haven's pediatric cardiology appointment at Children's hospital. All month long I've been going back and forth trying to forget about it and worrying so much I could hardly take it. I kept telling myself that the nurses didn't know what they were doing when they took the EKG and that her new doctor thought he heard something that he didn't.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Our appointment was at 9:00am. First the nurses measured and weighed her. Then they took another EKG. I kept telling myself "everything is fine, everything is fine, everything is fine." Haven did fantastic (of course) and excitedly counted all 13 stickers and clamps for the nurses. And told them all about her stuffed pink bear she brought that she named "Pink Eyes." And guess what? The EKG looked great. It didn't reveal any problems. 2 of the nurses then listened to her heart and they couldn't detect any problems either. I was cautiously relieved, but I kept thinking "so what was wrong...?".</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWbfs63oYcqMCA0bKu2bQ9Z6_NZrx74vZnylcbYSyBWmsHuyRUOPDFiL9JEDqBt0xGfHx4H-g0YoQcGyVjN4rP8ybU0BeBPwc6L5NsUql3Ce5enl1NFhVPOFS7GJ3qw_ukOXkvOdcrNPuz/s1600/havsa1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWbfs63oYcqMCA0bKu2bQ9Z6_NZrx74vZnylcbYSyBWmsHuyRUOPDFiL9JEDqBt0xGfHx4H-g0YoQcGyVjN4rP8ybU0BeBPwc6L5NsUql3Ce5enl1NFhVPOFS7GJ3qw_ukOXkvOdcrNPuz/s320/havsa1.jpg" width="240" /></a></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Then the doctor came in to give us the official EKG results. Nothing. He went on to say that sometimes the heart speeds up and slows in response to anxiety or other emotions. That sounded great to me! He then listened to her heart and heard something a little off. A murmur or something. So he wanted her to get a heart ultrasound. I thought "okay, he's just doing this to be safe..."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWbfs63oYcqMCA0bKu2bQ9Z6_NZrx74vZnylcbYSyBWmsHuyRUOPDFiL9JEDqBt0xGfHx4H-g0YoQcGyVjN4rP8ybU0BeBPwc6L5NsUql3Ce5enl1NFhVPOFS7GJ3qw_ukOXkvOdcrNPuz/s1600/havsa1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">We only had to wait 45 minutes for the ultrasound, which is pretty amazing. The ultrasound tech said that it would take between 30-40 minutes to complete. Haven had to lay still the whole time and got to watch a movie. I stared back and forth between the screen showing Haven's heart, the movie and the clock the whole time. 30 min went by, 40 min, 50 min and then she said that she had to go talk to the doctor reading the results to see if he wanted more pictures. I instantly knew something was off. The doctor himself then came in and took more ultrasound pics for another 10-15 minutes.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">We were then brought back into a room to hear the ultrasound results. When the cardiologist walked in with a pencil and a blank piece of paper, my heart sank. My mind was racing 200 mph thinking "what does he need to write down? Why would he have to draw something? Why is he sitting between us (Jason and I)?"</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Then he says "Okay, I'm going to draw a picture of what is going on." He drew the 4 chambers of the heart and explained that Haven has a hole in between the top 2 chambers, which is causing the right side of her heart to work much harder than the left side. It's not really a problem when she's sitting around doing nothing, but when she is more active, her heart has to work even harder to pump the blood around and this causes her to get fatigued easily. He then said we had 2 options to fix it or she'd never be able to play sports or have children of her own and there would be more complications down the line. Option 1 is put a device in her heart to seal the hole. Option 2 is open heart surgery. It was then that I couldn't stop crying. Seriously, THOSE are my 2 options?! Wow, I was in so much shock!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Option 1 is our best bet, it's the least invasive. He showed us the device and how it works. They will go up through a vein in her leg and into her heart. The metal/meshy looking circle piece goes through the hole, opens up and then they come back through the hole and another piece closes the other part up. It looks like this, and the hole in her heart would be in the middle.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU58i0eHzBPQj2dchWnzY5jjiY6srYVnqOq6KUGTVbqBYaD5xpSwmi-DwBylHR3JAH0mJXypic5mZteNfFbRqqD7dvmGgaL8BJklZ1Pp6xCSLWW-URUABekJhNQRJWumYL3Y6b-svpe27W/s1600/amplatzervasularplug.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU58i0eHzBPQj2dchWnzY5jjiY6srYVnqOq6KUGTVbqBYaD5xpSwmi-DwBylHR3JAH0mJXypic5mZteNfFbRqqD7dvmGgaL8BJklZ1Pp6xCSLWW-URUABekJhNQRJWumYL3Y6b-svpe27W/s1600/amplatzervasularplug.jpg" /></a></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Then over the next several months, tissue will build up over the device, sealing up the hole and she'll be good as new and never need additional procedures or have any problems (hopefully). The problem is, they can't be entirely sure that Haven's hole can be fixed with this kind of device. He said with her, there is an 80% chance it'll work and a 20% chance it won't and that she'll need open heart surgery instead. Then he said he'd like this done this summer around July. He doesn't want to wait too long and he wants to wait until she's a "little bigger" before it's done.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">We have a follow up appointment in May, which they will repeat some of the same tests that she had, I believe. Then sometime in July we will arrive at the hospital early in the morning, Haven will have to be put under. She will then have an esophagus ultrasound (down her throat) to get an even better look at her heart. If it looks like the device will probably work, we'll continue on with that procedure. If not, she'll have the surgery instead. (Even if she gets the procedure, there's still a chance that it won't work once they get inside of her and she'll need the surgery still anyway.) Then she will stay overnight for monitoring and will have to take it easy for 4 weeks with follow up exams, etc.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">So, that is where we are at! We need to watch and make sure she doesn't get overexerted (though she IS allowed to play soccer, baseball, and dance still). She just needs to be able to rest when she's tired. We also have to be careful if she gets any illnesses since she is more susceptible to pneumonia than the average child (which she has already had last year).</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">The cardiologist we saw does about 25 of these procedures each year and has done over 300 in all. He listed off several cases where something didn't go right and almost all of those were when he was first starting out doing them. I am still very nervous about the whole thing. I know Haven will do great and I know that she's in great hands at one of the best hospitals around, but obviously any time you deal with the heart it's kind of a big deal! All day yesterday I was shaking so bad I could hardly walk and my hands were shaking so badly I could hardly eat or type.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">BUT if Haven is so great now (and she is!), then I can just imagine how fantastic she'll be at 100% functioning!</span><br />

And they are getting lots of really nice stuff this year. Not because we have more money, but because I've been winning them things online, haha!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">The present I am most excited about giving them is their Leap pad 2's. (one for each of them!) I also used up all of my gift cards I won to buy them lots of accessories to go with them! A recharger pack, 2 carrying cases, 2 games, and 2 sets of headphones. My fingers are crossed that these will be a hit!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">I just totaled up all the stuff I have for them so far for Christmas and the retail value is $857. I have only had to pay $10 so far. Lol!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">And I am so super excited that I won an AWESOME car seat yesterday for Haven. It sells for $260 at Walmart!! I'm not giving it to her for Christmas, just wanted to share my excitement! :) I've never been able to afford a really nice carseat before and this one is great with awesome safety reviews!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">I am still working on what I am getting everyone else for Christmas this year, but I feel a lot more on top of things this year than ever before! :)</span>Jennifer Yhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01021633443621344329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853596728938929194.post-47732537768605827022012-11-11T15:52:00.001-06:002012-11-11T15:52:36.998-06:00Haven's First Dentist Appointment!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">Haven had her very first ever dentist appointment last Thursday! I knew she'd do great!!! We got there 20 minutes early and got in immediately, which NEVER happens, lol! I couldn't remember what they all did for 3 year olds, so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">Haven got her teeth cleaned. She picked mint toothpaste. She also got fluoride (strawberry) brushed on. No complaints whatsoever. She did everything she was asked. The hygienist couldn't believe she had just turned 3. Then she said that she doesn't us<u>u</u>ally do xrays for 3 year olds, but thought Haven could handle it. She got her xrays and did fantastic! :)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">The dentist came in and looked at her teeth. He said they are PERFECT! :) Yay!!! I even asked about her front teeth being so close together, but he told me not to worry about it. He also couldn't believe that she had just turned 3, lol!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">So, a GREAT 1st appointment and we are all scheduled for another 6 months from now! Haven got a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and 5 stickers and was a very happy girl! :)</span><br />
