Rare Blood Disorder Haunts Twins in Womb

Rare Blood Disorder Haunts Twins in Womb

Haunts? Really. Whatever. Any publicity is good publicity, I guess. It really doesn't need more drama, it's a horrible syndrome on it's own. But hey, ABC World News with Charles Gibson must have a few viewers, so yay for another TTTS story and video to create awareness. Thank you ABC.

I think Mom sums it up at the end of the video when she says "I almost didn't get to have this moment with these guys." Heartfelt unplanned honesty beats out any effort to sensationalize a story any day.

Give me some freakin amoxicillin!

I'll spare all gory details (just the highlights) but I was inches from this.

I just need some freakin' amoxicillin for my baby! She has double ear infections. I checked the black market and there's not really a demand. The stars aligned for us yet again at the pedia.... we needed a Rx, in an effort to 'be efficient' I had Lady call it in so we wouldn't have to hang out at WalMart, she forgot to leave what doctor she was with. I blame this completely on lack of experience and have mental images of her relaxed at home, carefree... {it's my mental image, back off}. So, when we get to the pharmacy at 4:50 the pedia is gone for the day and I have no Rx paper. (Thurs is their day off) I spend the next hour with all four moaning or crying and on the phone with Dr Whoeversoncall's Lady and/or hold, Rich, and eventually my sister to get his home number; of which I gave to the PharmTech at WalMart and watched her talk to someone. Yes I cashed in the sacred "your my sister's BFFs daddy". 

 I finally convince her that MY daughter is being treated as the red headed step patient and I'm not going to quit regurgitating my plight until the doctor approves my baby's script. An hour and twenty later, and a emergency "Mom I've got poops" from Katie,  I have drugs in hand, made friends with Lady PharmTech, and am taking my toys and going home. Anyone know a great pedia, with even greater office staff, looking for a rockstar set of twins and two adorable sisters?   

My Special Day

This morning I caught this. It has been happening recently. We're sharing. We're not wasting. We're brothers so it's ok but I should be stopping it because I know it's going to get old fast.

This was just cute. Kate wears bright green well. She recieved a package from Gma/Gpa Louisiana and was refolding the dress and showing off her Aunt Barbara bow.

For my special day we had a black and khaki and capri day. It rocked. We played at The Gateway, ate at Tocanos (yes, that's twice in a 2wk span), were kidless. I really can't get into the details as :

#1 - The first rule of Special Day is, you do not talk about Special Day.
#2 - The second rule of Special Day is, you DO NOT talk about Special Day.
#3 - If someone says stop, goes limp, taps out, the party is over. 

 

That night we watched fireworks with family, played with our 'one spot' glowsticks/lightsabers, and had rockin Costco store shaped birthday cake. (picture coming via Kelly or Abby)
