If you don't have anything nice to say.....

I was doing so well with my blogging! Then life happened, and I didn't have anything positive to post :)
Summary.....
Joshua broke his arm about 5 weeks ago. Quite the little ordeal. He fell over the railing of the stairs, on the back porch at my brothers house. I was out for an hour and Roddy called and said josh fell and he thought maybe it was sprained. First off, just the fact that Roddy called, I knew it was bad, he's just not a worrier...at all! The fact he thought it might be sprained, I knew it was broken. So off to Loudoun we went. It was a fairly clean break, they didn't set it at the hospital, just put him in a splint and said to follow up with an orthopedist within a few days. Thankfully we didn't wait, we went Monday. The doctor couldn't believe they didn't set it, then "numbed" Joshy's arm (which consisted of A LOT of injections, too the bone) and after 20 minutes of that, which didn't even numb him, the doctor pulled, yanked, twisted, tugged, bent and turned his little arm for 30 seconds til it POPPED....very loudly. Cast went on, we went home. follow up the following Monday showed no healing whatsoever, but the bone was still intact. Next Monday the Dr said he had some how broken his arm again, while in the cast......Only Josh. He said there is a 5% chance of that happening....Of course we are the 5%. So they set him up for surgery the next AM. Placed a pin in his arm and recasted him. All the while Joelle had gotten really sick, given antibiotics for strep throat. It didn't do anything for her all week. Glands were as swollen as mini golf balls on the side of her neck. Long story short, they began testing for Lymes disease, cancer, lukemia, lupus, and mono. Initial mono test was negative so they sent us to Loudoun for labs and xrays, STAT..... talk about an emotional week! She does have mono, which to second test showed. Explains a lot, she's been so different the last couple months....because she's been sick for a few months! My puppy chewed threw my phone, internet AND cable lines.....got that back up and running! Calebs got poison ivy all over his neck and moving to his face. Cyrah has hit her mouth some many times (on her cousins head, twice! on the curb, on the steps....) that her tooth was quite loose and is now gray. Her toenail finally fell off, from IDK what injury! Cy fed my 8 month old niece some of her peanut butter....of course she is allergic and woke up from her nap looking like Will Smith from Hitch! LOL, been one of those months :)
Fun note, my girlfriend and I have begun a small business making tutus! Check out the website nikandtiff.blogspot.com it's so much fun!
Caleb leaves for Arizona next week....my baby is flying cross country without his mommy!! He's totally excited :) When he gets back, we head to OBX for a week!! A much needed break!
There's always more to write about, but the kids are quiet..... gotta shower while I can! 2 more doctor appts today, hopefully Josh gets good news about the cast coming off~sooooooon!! Keeping this kid still is a JOKE! Not to mention, he "fell" in the pool Saturday and got the cast wet....I think he purposely fell, but what can you do??
