health news and busy day!

Today was the first full Wednesday since all of our activities have started.  I ended up working a couple extra hours, and went straight from work to Prince's Lego Robotics Club.  After dropping him off, I picked up Princess from our carpool (who got her from school choir practice after school) and went into the eye doctor's office.  I have a pair of glasses that the frames keep tweaking, so the office keeps fixing them for me.  After leaving there, I headed over to Costco to price out treats for the Governor's Day event that I am in charge of.  (Of which, I did not find out about it until last night and the event is in a week!) 

After Costco, I picked up dinner (there was NO way I was going to make dinner at this point), and brought it home where Prince and Brian were waiting.  Brian is going to the last half of Prince's Lego Club meetings and then brings him home.  After dinner, the kids had to do their homework.  By that time, bed time had passed, and they were straight to bed, without doing chores :(  Oh well, hopefully they will get caught up tomorrow.

On another note, I got called today from Princess's sleep doctor about the tests that we have had run in the last couple weeks.  Her sleep study came back great!!!  No more sleep apnea, either type!  Her surgery back in May only had a 15% of working, and it did the trick!  This is a HUGE weight off of our shoulders!

After talking about her sleep study, we moved on to her blood work.  This is where we did not get the news we were wanting.  Not only is her anemia not better, it is getting worse :( Princess has been taking supplements for the last several months, but she is still getting lower.  The doctor feels like there is a problem with the way she absorbs iron, and we need to change doctors to one that specializes in anemia, since this was a sleep doctor.  So now we get to search for a hematologist that will work with our insurance and with Princess.
