Remodel

This whole process started with just replacing a leaking tube faucet.

This what our bathroom looked like after we found the rotting boards.

This what it looks like now after new shower walls, new faucet and have it all put together.

My foot and knee

I had surgery in January 16. The doctor had to take a tendon out of the back of my knee and put it in my ankle to add muscle mass. There were 11 staples in my knee. They would not count for me how many were in my ankle. I just know there were a whole lot more than there were in my knee. The staples came out and cast went on January 29. The cast got removed March 3. I am glad to be out of it, but my ankle hurts worse in boot than with the cast on. I start PT this week. I am praying for a full recovery.

Skin Testing

Isaac had skin testing, poor kid. Here is what he looked like. After we made him do this he had to go give more blood, 6 vials. We found out he is allergic to: Short ragweed, Lambs Quarter, Oak Mix, Meadow Fescue, Timothy Grass, Bermuda Grass, Cat Hair, Alternaria, Egg whites, Milk, Beef, Peanut, Soybean, Wheat, Egg Yolk, Strawberries, Cheddar Cheese, and Bananas.

Update on my Foot

Sorry it has been so long since I have blogged. I have been so busy with the holidays and the kids. Jordan is getting so big so fast. My parents are saying she is getting bigger every time they see her, they are seeing her at least once a week.

Isaac and Becca went back to school Monday after Christmas break. I think they would say they had an awesome Christmas and they really enjoyed their break from school.

My parents, my husband, my baby, and I will be headed to KC next week for my second foot surgery. Please be praying for us for good traveling weather and that the doctor doesn't need to take additional tissue for my ankle from my knee.

We will be needing a lot of help after we get back, since I will be on crutches for at least 6 weeks. We will need most of the help with Jordan. If you are interested in helping us out please email me at hopper.smith@gmail.com

First Lost Tooth

Becca lost her first tooth Saturday night. She was so excited to be counted with the other kids that have lost a tooth in her class. Doesn't she look so cute. I was so proud of her she pulled the tooth all by herself. She is growing up so fast.

My foot update

I went to Kansas City yesterday to see my foot doctor. I came out with the diagnose of having surgery again. We will be waiting on Workman's Comp. to approve the surgery then we will be setting the date for it. I will keep you posted.

Birthday, Honor Roll, and my brace

I now have a one year old baby girl. She is getting so big. Her brother tried to show her how to use her new toy. She got so messy with her cake and ice cream. She has been crawling now for two weeks. She is pulling up to her knees.

Isaac was on the B Honor Roll for First Quarter in third grade. We are so proud of him and his accomplishments.

Becca was caught with having good caracter last week. She is so excited and we are so proud of her.

I have been to KC and back to get my new brace. We will be going back to KC in about three weeks to decide if I am going to have surgery again. The brace make my foot swell more all the time. It hurts more to stand still, but it doesn't hurt as bad to walk.
