Update on Zac

ZAC ATTACK!

We had Zac's MRI today to get a better look at his tumor and after seeing the results the oncologist decided we don't need to operate at this time. This lipoma isn't as solid as his other one and it would be a little more complicated to remove and it isn't causing any harm and isn't near his spine at all so we'll just keep our eye on it for now.

Zac is getting his tonsils out next Thurs. March 5. Yuck! It'll be a rough week but it'll be so good in the long run. They are so big it's causing him trouble breathing while he sleeps. Sorry this pic is kinda gross, but wanted to give you an idea of how ginormous these things are! (I was trying to hold down his tongue with my finger while quickly taking the picture at the same time so it's a little blurry)

So have Zac in your prayers next Thurs!

So what you're saying Doc is that Zac is colorblind, has another tumor, and needs his tonsils out? AM I BEING PUNKED?

Just an average 3 year old check up... NOT REALLY!!!

We took Zac for his 3 year old check up this week. We had noticed a lump on his back that looked a lot like the lump he had this summer on his neck (it was a benign tumor called a Lipoma, which we had removed) the doctor said it looked like another Lipoma but because of the location it wouldn't be as urgent to remove this time. But he wants him to meet with an Oncologist to find out why a 3 year old is getting multiple Lipomas.

I was also concerned that Zac might be color blind. My doctor said a lot of kids his age are still confused with colors, and I said , no you don't understand, he knows his numbers, his letters, his shapes, but NEVER gets any colors right except for sometimes blue things. We have worked so much on it too, but it doesn't help! So he did a pediatric color blindness test on him on his lap top where they point out the shapes they see and Zac totally failed it! We have to have a more intense test done by a Optomitrist, but it's like 99% sure that Zac is colorblind!

Then he wanted to check out his tonsils cuz he's been worried about their size the last few times, and found out that he had strep throat! Weird cuz he wasn't acting sick at all but his tonsils were HUGE! So the doctor really wants to get him evaluated to get them removed (cuz they always look big even when he's not sick, but they were like the size of my fist this time)

Then he said we should bring in Landon to see if he had strep too, and the next day we found out he did. so weird. There's these types of strep going around with no fever or other symptoms. Landon had been a little fusy and not wanting to eat like normal, so we thought he might be teething his 2 year old molars, nope, strep!

They're both 100% better, just an odd week. And more follow ups with Zac and more surgeries to come for that little boy, so sad :(

25 RANDOM THINGS ABOUT ME

So everyone's been tagging each other on Facebook for a list of 25 random things about you, so I thought it'd be fun to add my list here too. Cuz there's really not much else going on around here lately...

25 RANDOM THINGS ABOUT ME:

1. My kids are the funniest people I've ever met (I"ve never met Will Ferrel or Dave Cheppel so my kids still top the list)

2. My husband is the sexiest man I've ever met -just ask him he'll tell you-(plus I've never met Brad Pitt or David Beckham, But Jamie thinks he's a mix of the two)

3. I always secretly wanted to be famous (I'll settle for a fan club of two toddler boys)

4. I earned 1/2 tuition scholorship to BYU but ended up graduating from Paul Mitchell Hair School!

5. I've been through so much drama in my life they should make a Lifetime TV movie about me

6. (besides watching Lifetime with Jamie) I'm obsessed with BRAVO TV- ie.Top Chef, Shear Genius, Project Runnway, Rachel Zoe Project, Real Housewives of O.C., what's not to love?

7. On my DVR right now I have Oprah and Dr. Phil, the Office, 30 Rock, How I met your Mother, American Idol,Top Chef, Ace of Cakes, a dozen HGTV shows, Jon and Kate plus 8, the Bachelor, Real World Brooklyn, Real housewives of O.C., and some cartoons for the kiddos

8. I would watch 1/2 as much TV if we didn't have a DVR

9. I talk ALOT if you couldn't tell (my notes home from my teachers were always saying that I talked too much, like my parents didn't know!)

10. I played with Barbies way past the age that was socially acceptable

11. I REALLY want to have a girl (then I'll have an excuse to play Barbies again!)

12. I REALLY believe in miracles, I have a 3 year old who used to be 3 pounds for starters

13. If I wasn't a Hair Colorist I would definately be a NICU nurse

14. I love the idea of exercising but I hate actually doing it

15. I love the idea of road trips but I get miserably carsick

16. I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, someday I will!

17. I love beaches more than anything, but ocean water is so gross to me and I'm terrified of gellyfish

18. I'm really terrified of heights too. I have dreams where I'm falling and I wake up right before I hit the ground

19. I'm terrified of something ever happening to Jamie and having to raise my kids by myself

20. My favorite music is the music Jamie writes for me, I also love Jack Johnson, Zac Maloy, Pearl Jam, Nora Jones, Brittany Spears (sorry but I do) and hip hop-especially old school hip hop. I'm also obsessed with Micheal Jackson's music but don't really like Micheal Jackson. (he's a little creepy)

21. I love going to concerts with Jamie, I was blown away by the Foo Fighters-Dave Grohl was rediculous! (Pearl Jam was amazing too Jamie)

22. I don't read books as often as I should, but I did jump on the Twilight ban wagon. I'm on the last book-don't tell me how it ends!

23. I had my 10 year highschool reunion this summer and it's been fun and weird reconnecting with everyone especially through Facebook

24. When I'm done having kids I really want to get a boob job (so they can look like they do when I'm nursing, I'd rather be full of saline than milk!)

25. I'm so happy that I dumped Jamie's roomate (sorry Ben) and started dating Jamie. He's the best husband and father, and he gave me the most wonderful little boys (and hopefully a girl too someday) and he makes me laugh and cry and want to hit him and want to kiss him and I'm grateful everyday for our family!
