We hate Pet Dander!

In my last post I asked "What was Tanner looking at?''

Here it is....Of Course puppies! He loves dogs but, we cant have one.Y? Because he's highly allergic to pet dander!

When Tanner was about 4 months old he was hospitalized for a rash from head to toe that they thought was from his milk. After changing his milk multiply times and days in the hospital it went away and we got to go home.


While staying at the hospital, Jeffrey's mom and step-dad kept our miniature Yorkie named Caper. Jeffrey and I then decided to let them have Caper since he would receive more attention with them and we still would get to see him. We were still in the process of house training him so, it took a lot of time and effort. After moving back from Baton Rouge, We decided to get Tanner an outside dog to play with. I found this family that were giving away labs. Jeffrey thought this was great and wanted to name him Drake. Tanner loved him! After about 2 weeks of having Drake, Tanner broke out into another rash. His Doctor then decided that it was time to see an allergy doctor. When the results came back that Tanner was highly allergic to pet dander we were shocked because that meant we had to get rid of Drake.It's sad that Tanner cant have a puppy because he loves them to death and freaks out when he sees them. Maybe he'll eventually grow out of it but some kids don't.

Potty training

As we continue to potty train, Tanner is doing fantastic! He went all day today with NO accidents. I still cant get him to poop on the potty. Please give me any advice you may have because I don't know how to do it. He still runs and hides. I really am proud of him though.

Whats Tanner looking at? Any idea?

This past weekend Tanner was playing outside with my sister and got his first splinter in his foot. It was really sad because we had to hold him down to get it out. Jeffrey made sure I grabbed my camera to take a picture.
When I started this blog, I wasn't sure how to do it or if I would even like it. I can say now that I love it but I'm still learning. I've really learned a lot reading others blogs and have enjoyed it. Every time I get a New follower I get excited and my husband laughs at me.


More on what Tanner's looking at Tomorrow.

Guess whose 25?

Happy Birthday Jeffrey!

Another year older and on the verge of going bald(not really) your still cute as can be. I hope you had a Great Birthday this year to make up for last. I know I had fun spending the day with you like always. I am very blessed to have a man like you that will sit at the Doctors office with me for 3 hours on your Birthday! Lunch was awesome! Its hard to believe that you were only 20 years old when we started dating and now 25, wow! I guess it's true when people say "time fly's by when your having fun." Thank you for everything and I love you so much!

In the Beginning....

And Now!

Love, Lindsey

Not Me Monday!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

My Turn! Let me start out by saying this is my First "Not Me Monday" post so I'm really excited or should I have said NOT my first post? It's NOT me to wake up and feed my child donuts for breakfast. When I specifically told my husband that we were going to start eating healthy. Then I did NOT start cleaning EVERY room in my house at 8 am to then find out that the company I was having over decided to wait until 7pm to come over.

I most certainly did NOT give my child the the left over chocolate icing after I baked a cake last week for dessert. See Not Me! I also will NOT spend all day tomorrow in Shreveport with my Husband! Not Me!

Jeffreys Birthday Dinner

Last night I was feeling a lot better so we went to eat at Jeffrey' s favorite Mexican restaurant for his Birthday dinner. His birthday is Tuesday but we'll be in Shreveport for my doctor appointment. My parents & sisters met us there. We had a blast and Tanner was really good!Jeffrey wore a sombrero while they sang Happy Birthday to him.

Tanner was flirting with my sisters friend Cameron the whole time and it was hilarious. Aunt "KK" & TannerMy Mom & DadAunt MaHaley After singing "Happy Birthday" they made him this!(fried tortilla with whip cream and cherries). I really think Jeffrey should be Mexican because he LOVES Mexican food!

Whats up with me?

I haven't posted in a few days because Ive been really sick. Thursday night we went to the ball park to watch Michael( a boy I watch in the evenings) play baseball and I started hurting while we were there.

I took some medicine when I got home but didn't help at all. I woke up at 2 am crying because my right side was hurting so bad that I had to go to the Emergency room. They ran test on me all morning and I wasn't discharged until 6am. They said I had a very bad UTI which doesn't surprise me. I have been going to the urology clinic for about a year now because I have tons of kidney problems. Two months ago I was diagnosed with cystinuria and I'm sick almost every month.

Cystinuria is an autosomal recessive disorder, so you must inherit the faulty gene from both parents in order to have symptoms.

Cystinuria is caused by too much of an amino acid called cystine in the urine. After entering the kidneys, most cystine normally dissolves and goes back into the bloodstream. But people with cystinuria have a genetic defect that interferes with this process. As a result, cystine builds up in the urine and forms crystals or stones, which may get stuck in the kidneys, ureters, or bladder.

In December, I had Surgery to remove a huge mass of stones in my left kidney. Before that they went in and put a stint in because i wasn't even using my left kidney because the stones were blocking it. I go next month for them to remove some more stones. Its not curable! I just hate that it make me really sick.

Short and Sweet

First of all let me start out by saying Tanner is still doing a Great job on potty training! This week has been a really lazy week. Tanner had his two week check-up at the ENT yesterday and the doc said he looked Great. I just pray we don't have any more problems with his ears ever. I have realized here lately that he's not at all a baby anymore. Everyday he amazes me with how much he really knows and understands. Next week is Jeffrey's birthday and I'm still trying to decide what to do. He's off work that day because he's going to Shreveport with me. I have a pre-operation exam at the urology clinic. Any ideas? I really don't want to spend a lot of money because its his money in the first place. Were going out to eat of course but he expects that.
