When it rains it pours. . .so when does it stop?

No more picture, no more pictures.

So cute in his "little peanut" onesie. Gymboree makes the best onsies.

Aubree finally gets to hold Duncan. He loves his cousin. (the oldest and youngest Grandchildren). Aubree is getting her licence soon so she can drive over and visit anytime.

Okay, I know it has been a few weeks since I updated so here is what has been going on. . .

The last week of July I had to go back to work. Boo hoo! But I had to go and get my room in order. Since I had Duncan 7 days before school got out, other teachers packed up my room and I had no idea where anything was. It took me a while to sift through it all and throw out a lot of trash. I also had to get desks arranged, posters up, copies and plans made for the firs few days of school. So I was going to work in the mornings and then I was going to the hospital in the evenings. I was very busy and I was very tired for a few weeks there. During that time Duncan was moved to intermediate room for a week or so and then on Aug. 4th he was moved to the annex. This is his last stop before going home. He is doing wonderfully and the great news is that his Dr. called me today and told me that pending his eye exam tomorrow he should be able to go home Monday or Tuesday next week!!! We are so excited. He is on the a setting of oxygen just above room air. They are going to try to ween him off the oxygen altogether this week and observe him without it for a couple of days. I was so shocked and excited when she called me today. She said it wouldn't be worth the time and effort to get the oxygen set up at home since he wouldn't need it much longer. Not a problem with me. He weighs 5lbs. 13oz.

So the other news is that I woke up Monday at 5am to really bad pain. I was throwing up and just not able to walk very well. It felt like labor again, just not as bad. I had to call in sick-I was so mad. I thought it was Acid reflux, but it just didn't feel the same. It didn't burn like it usually does, it was more a stabbing pain. I told Justin to go to work that I was sure I would be okay. I couldn't have been more wrong. I called him at about 8:15 and told him to get back home he had to take me to urgent care. They gave me a GI cocktail to numb the pain, but it didn't totally work. The Dr. told Justin to take me to the ER. So off we went to Banner Estrella ER. We were there from 9-3:30pm. They took blood, gave me an IV, and did an ultra sound. Guess what they found? Gallstones!! Yep, so now I have to meet with my Dr. and find a surgeon and have my gallbladder removed. This couldn't have come at a worse time. If it had been a month ago it would have been better, but no, just as Duncan is ready to come home. Every year there is at least one or two teachers at my school that this happens to. It is very strange.

I know this is long, but I wanted to give an update.
