Kendra and I finally got all of our X-Mas shopping done this weekend. Wal-Mart was a ten min never go in again experience and what they were sold out of we found elsewhere for cheaper. So don't be fooled, Wally wolrld seems to be getting to big for it's britches.......
Carissa's levels came back indicating she needed to have extra vit. K so we're going to have to do two shot per week until further notice. To top it all off my insurance doesn't cover vitamins so we'll have to carry the finacial burden solo on three of her meds now YIPPIE!!!!!!
The boys are getting huge I'll send X-Mas pics soon. The day after we had them taken Drew got his first black eye. It was a rather funny story... He bumped into a kid and the kid thought he was being pushed so when Drew turned around to say sorry the other kid threw a sucker punch and caught him in the eye. Drew said " I didn't hit him back cuz there was a teacher right behind me and I didn't want to get in trouble".
This was the first time I've had to think really hard about what to tell him if something like this happend again. My conclusion was that I was proud of him for showing restraint and that he did the right thing but............ If there isn't a teacher there to help you out or you can't get away from the aggresor ball up your fist and punch the kid square in the nose!!!! I don't know if this was the right thing to say but I would hate for him to take a beating because he didn't want to get in trouble. We also talked about the difference between starting a fight and defending yourself and he seems to get the concept so I feel like were good for now.
Tyler on the other hand wants Drew to point the kid out so he can beat him up for hurting his brother.............I've still got some work to do.

We had a doctors visit last week, so I thought I would update this blog tonight.
Carissa is stable for the most part, that's all they really tell me when we go. Her bili level (this make her my little glow worm), is 12, it has gone up since the last visit. Her cholestrol is 494, yes that is not a type "o", but they expect this because of her condition. This is what makes her itch so badly, but one of her liver numbers went down slightly. They are not sure why. We are giving her extra vit. D,and those levels were good. They are checking her Vit K, because that is the next vit. level they usually see drop, if this is low then we will have to start giving her Vit. K injections 2x a week, we have not gotten that level back yet. However, on a brighter note I found another bottom tooth today, yea, so we are up to three now. She bites hard too. She is beginning to enjoy veggies, green beans are her favorite so far. She is faking a cough, when you cough at her, she thinks this is so funny. Carl had a cold last week, and he was coughing, I guess that is where she picked that up. She is rolling over and beginning to sit up by herself. She has yet to figure out how to catch that Dog's tongue , but she is trying hard. The boys both made honor roll this 6 weeks, and have maintained that all year so far. We are very proud of them, and not sure where they are getting their smarts, haha. We are gearing up for xmas, shopping in the mall is not pretty. I ventured out to Walmart tonight at 10:30pm, and felt for my personal safety. I had to leave my cart and purse three isles down to go and look at something I was wanting. I figured if they want my large, heavy, pink purse with no money in it, they can have it . That is one less thing I have to carry to the check out. Well I will be getting up in a few hours to the little one, so I guess I better end this. Kendra
