Anna develped a rash...don't know if its a rash to the med as in an allergic reaction, or if it is a reaction of the med with sunlight....or if the meds not working and she is developing Scarlet Fever. We gave her benedryl...which has already knocked her out...again that is unusual. And her leg pains are back. Her little voice is still very raspy sounding too.
I have to see the cardiologist tomorrow afternoon. I think I will take her with him and have him listen to her and see if we need to find ourselve a pediatric cardio dr. It's too much strep all over her body for my comfort level anymore.
I love the practitioner like she was a sister, but I am seriously doubting capabilities these days :( Miss Anna gets sick way too often and stays sick for way too long when she does get sick.

And it continues...
On the kitchen remodel front....Electrical - check, Rough-In Framing - conditional check (but we finished the conditions) ... Insulation is done...ready for inspection on MONDAY!!! Then on to more sheet rock. It's already starting to look like rooms again...minus the tons of boxes of laminate in the middle of the dining room floor...lol...
On the heart condition front...I am on a different type of the newest medication. We are now time released, though I am not convinced of it's efficacy yet. I had a BAD break through today after just going up a set of stairs...and I wasn't even running. Oh how I would love to be able to "run" the stairs again...but I think those days are long passed.
On the Jamie front....We saw him Thursday. He is back to gaining weight again...and up to more of his old tricks. Apparently his old tricks do not fly to well with one of the ladies in the house there with him and she gave him the what for...thankfully. When we saw him, he was rather upset that Anna and Zach had not come with us. So, we explained that Anna and Zach both had been suffering with strep, and that Anna did not seem to be able to kick it and actually ended up with a urinary tract infection! SO what does Jamie do the very next day.....tell the poor ladies at the treatment facility that it hurt him to pee. OH MY LORD! It was really hard not to laugh when the worker called to tell me that he told them that. I did explain to her that likely there was nothing wrong with him, but to be on the safe side, he should be checked....just to make sure. Well, there was absolutely nothing wrong with him at all....NOTHING.
Now, as mentioned, Miss Anna has a UTI. She has been on her meds for three days and states it no longer hurts after she pees. She also states that her throat feels better too. She is acting better as well. I sure hope that this kicks it for good...for a while. It's too early in the year for them to get this sick!!!!

Drywall & Insulation
Electrical - check
Rough-in Framing - conditional check
Drywall - today Mind you...no mudding...just getting it up so that we can insulate overnight, which means we have to go and pick up the machine and the 23 bales of blowin insulation we are going to use instead of paying someone way toooooooo much money to do the same thing.
Tomorrow we need to be checked off the rough-in fully and the insulation, so we can drywall the walls and start putting up cabinets.
The new 5 week goal actually sounds attainable now!!!
On a good note, my heart is mostly behaving itself today. It's a good thing...Friday's scare was enough for me for a LONG time. The medicine however is making me feel like I was run over by a mack truck. YUCKY! I'm not being allowed to help to much since Friday either, which is driving me bats. Guess Friday scared DH as well...

Conditional Approval
For the love of pete.... Who ever said you could not replicate what was existing? I know that codes have changed. Really I do. And I understand why they have changed too, but people do still stick build houses...everything in this world is not "engineered". We only added three feet to the side of the house...really only 30" if you just count what's on the inside...the rest of it is the overhang on the roof. We did not even change the roof line, just extended it. They wanted baffles up in the roof to keep the insulation from blocking the vents...ummmm we don't have vents.....because we did not mess with what was already existing...we just tied it in. Now they really want us to tie it in....cross straps and all ...really??? Just a little bit of overkill...but rather safe than sorry, we will oblige instead of argue.
I guess it is good they were kind enough to give us the conditional approval so we could go ahead and insulate and be ready to put up drywall on Tuesday.... Electrical passed yesterday...finally...so we can put in the outlets and lights and enjoy the fruits of the last 5 months of our labor.
It will be a busy weekend.
Then we are off to drywall, install cabinets and call for the countertop to be measured.
It means.....
The END is in real sight......that is if my heart survives it all...it's not been a good heart day at all...
