Busy little bees

I am sorry once again for not posting in a while. We picked up Addison's shoe inserts Friday afternoon. I had bought her 2 new pairs of shoes but they were both too small to fit the inserts and her feet in so I had to bring them back and I could only find her 1 pair. We had to go up an entire size and get the wider width. She looks like a clown with her little body and these big shoes. We have to start her out with only wearing them for 1 hour and then increase an hour every couple of days. We are to expect redness but if she starts to blister we have to go back and start all over again. Lets hope that doesn't happen. We wanted to get her excited about her new "magic" shoes so we all took baths and got dressed up to go out to eat. We called ahead for our table so we wouldn't have to wait long, you know how it is with a 2 year old! We get half way to the restuarant and Addison vomits all over her carseat and her brand new outfit. We had to turn around and give her another bath and Tre' had to hose down the carseat and take it completely apart so we could wash it in the washing machine. She still wanted to go out to eat so we took her and she ate 1/2 of my hamburger. She acted like she was starving. I try not to get aggervated because I know she cannot help it and it is not her fault but it is like we can't live normal lives. We just wanted to go out to celebrate her new shoes and she vomits. It is like we are scared to go anywhere incase she gets sick and makes a mess. Everytime she coughs or maybe she will just swallow something wrong, we just never know what will happen or cause her to vomit. It happens so fast it is hard to prevent the mess. So for last week she vomited a total of 2 times.
We have been having trouble with Addison taking her medications. Since she was in the hospital she has been refusing to take them and spitting them out. Even her Prevacid and flinstone vitamins which she normally asks to take, she will not take them. We follow up with Dr. Alberty her GI next Tuesday the 27th. I also need to make her an appointment with her ENT because her pediatricain told us in the hospital her tubes look really bad and she has been sticking her finger in her ears like she is trying to itch them. She was supossed to follow up late April but I might as well go ahead and get her in since they are bothering her so much.
Addison has finally stopped talking about the tube in her nose and belly and now just talks about her IVs. Mainly about how the last one she had was bleeding on her hand and fingers. She doesn't mention the breathing treatments anymore either. When she is talking about the IVs she even makes the noise the numbing medicine they use makes. She had a really bad nightmare last Friday night and woke up screaming "What happened to me" and begging for me to hold her.
Monday morning we were interviewed by a news station in New Orleans for the Children's Hospital's fishing tournament this coming weekend. They just asked questions about Addison's problems and filmed us playing with her, like pushing her in a swing and stuff like that. I will post a link to their website and the interview when it is emailed to me.
I just placed another order for t-shirts. I am so thankful to announce I have ordered over 400 shrits. They are not all sold yet and some were given away free for people helping with other fundraisers but can you believe 400 shirts? Wow! It makes me nervous about selling all of them because I have to pay for the shirt, taxes and shipping but my fingers are crossed I will sell all of them. The yard sale is this weekend in Ocean Springs. We will start selling at 8 am until 2 pm. We are looking for volunteers to help load, unload and set up all the donations at the location. Please contact me if you would like to help. My email address is southerngal05@cableone.net or on facebook. I dropped my phone tonight and busted the screen so I am unable to answer calls or text messages without risking slicing my fingers from the shattered glass. I am not sure when I will get it fixed. We just paid for Addison's shoes Friday and ordering the tshirts, raffle tickets, and dance tickets adds up quickly. I know I will be getting reimbursed soon by selling them but it is just until then it makes our finances short.
Tickets are available for purchasing for the dance on April 28, 2012. I am sure it will be a great time and I can't wait to see old friends I have lost touch with and for everyone to meet Addison. We will hold the drawings for the items on the raffle and have a silent auction. Once again thank you everyone for your continued support and prayers.
