Emma's Heart Update

Phew...ok...Emma had her EKG and echo cardiogram this morning. SHE IS A-OK! The Pediatric Cardiologist found nothing but a tiny heart murmur that she said was nothing to worry about. Yay Emma!!! So, we have a clean bill of health. The chest pains she gets they believe are growing pains! (muscle spasms) She is getting so tall, so fast! That could be causing her pain. We'll take that over heart troubles!

Bo has been sick since Friday with a horrible chest cold so he is home today. He had to miss soccer yesterday, so he was NOT a happy camper! Kevin also came home from school early today because of a bad earache. Not even October yet and the kids are falling apart! It's gonna be a LONG winter!

Well, soccer coaching is going relatively well. I've had a ton of help from parents so it's been a lot of fun! We lost our first game last week, 2-1 (Ryan scored our one and only goal) BUT we tied yesterday 3-3. (of course, my Ryan scored 2 of those goals) LOL. He makes me so proud!! Emma's team won yesterday 2-1...so it's been a good season so far.

Alex is knee deep in football. I probably shouldn't discuss their scores...let's just say...I'm thinking the high school maybe shouldn't have a football team. *snicker*...the kids are not very happy with how the season is going so far. But, hey...it's for fun, right??? YEAH RIGHT!! The boys really don't think so. I think Alex is enjoying it though.

Kevin is doing great! He was asked to play on his school's soccer team! HE IS DOING IT!! I am just amazed that he even wants to TRY! He is also on the Debate Team...he has to be involved in a court process. It's super intense...but he is going forward with it. I have told everyone...watch Kevin be the one who ends up being a successful lawyer!! He LOVES this stuff! (who knew?) The older he gets, the more potential I see in this young man! It just goers to show, despite disabilities, you CAN do what you set your mind too. I think Kevin may just be a testimony to just that! (it sure would be nice to know that all his hard work all these years paid off nicely for him...hey...and for HIS PARENTS!!) ;)

Guess that's about it. Ryan has a very busy year...he leaves for Camp Fairview the week before Thanksgiving with the 6th grade...he's involved in community service...goes to DC this year (which I can't wait for...LOVE that trip) and graduates. Aaaaaaak! Then we get to do it all over again next year with Bo!

OK...off to play Nurse Mom
