I'm back people and do we have a bunch of catching up to do! Let's start with an update of my surgery for the biopsy, we pathology came back and it was stage 1 DCIS ER + cancer. That means i have breast cancer and its estrogen receptive positive. I had to have a double mastectomy in November of 2013. I had a reconstruction done January 11 2014. While i was getting ready for the reconstruction i found out i was pregnant again! We went through with the surgery as my skin wasn't tolerating the expander's any longer. We monitored the baby and kept it a secret for 3 months. Once we knew that our sea turtle was OK we told everyone, we were also informed that with my type of cancer i would need a hysterectomy, complete nothing left behind. As the months went on we monitored baby and ended up hospitalized for hyperemesis which is bad morning sickness. In April of that year munchkin was back home with his dad and at the time i was angry but we eventually talked and got everything out in the open and let me tell you the things we know now makes all 4 of his parents (me and my hubby along with his dad and stepmother) the best parents ever! We get along very well now and i couldn't ask for better co parents. While all this has gone on munchkin has been able to come stay the weekend with us and hang out when he wants. We also have grown to love his sister's M and I as if they were our own. They are such sweet and caring girls! We went for a gender ultrasound and found out our final baby was a girl! I was over the moon with excitement. She was due September 11 but due to my cancer we couldn't risk my body going into any firm of labor so we scheduled a cesarean section for August 21. Everything went great and baby girl was born with no issues and munchkin came up to meet her thank to his step mom. I had a good recovery nothing like the ones prior this one was surprisingly easy, maybe it was because my best friend came down to help me for a few days! She drove from Oklahoma to see me and sea turtle.She id have a small set back in December when she was hospitalized for RSV. We spent 4 days in the hospital and were discharged on antibiotics and breathing treatments. 2015 started out uneventful until we received a call from Make A Wish New Mexico that ladybug had been nominated for a wish! we went and met with the people and she was granted her wish to go to Disneyland Resort!! We waited or school to be out for summer before going and boy did we have fun, we rode the rides, went to the beach, we spent a week at a beautiful hotel. We met Anna, Elsa, and Olaf from Frozen, we ate at a restaurant in the hotel where we met Minnie, Mickey, Donald, Stitch, and Goofy!!We've celebrated birthdays and anniversaries, we had sea turtles first birthday and first Christmas and she had a blast!! Christmas was fun as we had all 5 kids for part of the day. All the kids made out like bandits. We just recently attended an awards ceremony for the where he received an award for a record week at his store. unfortunately not even two days after the ceremony they let him go from his job. His assistant was doing some things she wasn't supposed to do and she blamed hunny when she got caught. We have been searching for work since then. Well not in the middle of February and Zittomans birthday is Saturday and he will be 8 can you believe that!!! His party is Sunday and its a Star Wars theme and we cant wait!! Ladybug starts her new CBD oil for her seizures and I'm excited for the results i hope we receive. Amidst a world of chaos we keep our heads up, I'm hoping to be blogging a lot more now (here's hoping everyday) Please send prayers, positive energy and thoughts my way as I applied for a job i really want. This is our family update and I'll be in touch again soon.
Always smiling,
