omg!!!!

holy cow.....i'm so glad today is over with!!!!! it started off all wrong with getting up way to late and running around like chicken with my head cut to get the kids ready and out the door on time. then on the way to take owen to school he fell asleep which told me he wasn't feeling very well and since i had to pick him at 1pm for some doctor appointments i decided to just not take him and bring him to the salon with me.

he was so crabby and tired when i woke him up at the salon. he just sat down on the curb in the parking lot and told me to leave him there. no way would i leave him there, especially with the crazy homeless :-) but i did think he looked cute sitting on the curb so i took a pic before promising to take him to the train place (fritz's at crown center) for lunch if he came inside. it worked!!! shortly after going in the salon i had a client come in and throw a huge fit about a complete communication misunderstanding. she was going crazy and got way out of line. and i hate to really throw my troubles up at people but i had to play my owen card......kidney transplant is way more important then hair extensions---best quote of the day from natalie :-)

a good thing that came out of this day was that natatlie was able to squeeze in giving owen his foe-hawk back. no more shag-a-muffin for owen!!!!! still haven't decide what to do with noah's hair yet.

me and natalie have been tracking owens height on a door at the salon since he starting taking growth hormones on 7/20/08. it's amazing to see how much he has grown. now for when the day really took a turn for the worst.....the first appointment owen had today was for a colonic. it had been over a year since he had one but we took him to his renal surgeon on tuesday to help make sure the booty back up that happen after the last surgery didn't happen this time. they took an x-ray of his bowels which did show that it was a little backed up so i scheduled the colonic. he did great during the appointment and got a lot of poop out but not to gross everyone out.....he got a lot more out on the way back to the salon and in the salon restroom. super super gross!!!!! jill (who has no kids) asked how did he get it all over himself in the car and i said i didn't know but when i got him out of the car it dripped on my foot :-/ this left me at the salon with a boy with no clothes, 1 diaper, a exploding booty and 45mins till his next 2 appointments at childrens mercy. yikes!!!

nick and owen had to do one last BIG blood draw for a blood mix test that they have already done before but they said they have to again before the transplant. this meant that nick had to give 6 huge vial of blood and owen 9. while we were waiting for them to get it all set up i went and got them some juice, which turned out to be a very good thing.

right after i took this picture of nick smiling getting his blood drawn he asked me to give him a drink, while he was taking a drink he passed out....fainted!!! his head went backed, eyes went back, choking growling noises. nurse runs out to get help, i'm trying to hold his head and wake him up. owens dancing around :-) then the nurses come back and nick sits right up and says "what" then he turned pale as a ghost on halloween and sweating like crazy. it took him a little bit to get back to normal and he still has a headache but he is fine now. owen had to get his blood next and while he did cry like he always does, he still did better then nick ;-)

so good bye day 11 and counting, you will NOT be missed. hello 10 day count down!!!!
