So an update....

So a few things have been happening. Ben had his surgery for his heart. Unfortunately, nothing was accomplished. They got in and they do see the problem. He has two "wires". Most people only have one. The second one is not too big of a deal because they can usually treat it with heat while they are in there and kill the tissue. The problem is Ben's extra "wire" is so close to his first that they would risk giving him permanent damage in his first one and he would need a pacemaker for the rest of his life if they did do any damage. So they are referring us to a doctor at Children's Hospital. This doctor will use a freezing method to kill the tissue instead of heat. There is much less risk of permanent damage-if they start to freeze the first one, then they can just heat it back up and it will not have damage. So he has his first appointment next week with the doctor and from there they should just schedule the surgery since he has been through all the testing already.

As far as my health issues...Nothing yet. No period. No signs of anything. I think I may have ovulated on Monday night because I was feeling a pain that I'm pretty sure was it. So we will see what happens over the next week or so. Hopefully it starts up and everything is ok. I'm not so optimistic anymore. But time will tell so for now it's wait and see.

Work is still just ok. I won't know until Feb now if I am getting a raise though. Although everyday (including yesterday) more promotions are being posted at work and I am really struggling with how every other department can get theirs to go through but mine won't. It's making me very disheartened and giving me honestly no motivation to continue doing what I am. We will see what happens in Feb. They have "committed" to making sure I get something then. But if not, I will be in search of other opportunities.

Baby Tricia is doing great. She is babbling SOOO much now. She is constantly talking gibberish and makes us laugh all the time. She does say "dog", "woof", "dad", "mom" and a few other things. It's really cute and she just makes my heart melt. She is a running fool! She just takes off all the time. She is into EVERYTHING though and my house is constantly a disaster but I'm ok with it because it's her :)
