Sinuses, Slimer & Supper
Thanks so very much for letting me use your pics!!!!
We went to the wonderful Dr. Swain's today and M got his nose all sucked out...nsldkjvdklnjkfnl
I still have a little trouble with the looks of the nasty stuff that gets sucked out!!
And anyway he of course asked M if he was irrigating ( sp? )..Umm NO!! thats the 1 thing M will NOT do no matter what!! he hates it! he says it makes his ears and eyes hurt for days and days after so Swain gave us a neil med neti pot and said to use that because its not any pressure behind it so it wont hurt his ears and eyes. He said the point is not to blast all the stuff out so much as to just keep it moist up there..He took a culture and said we will have it back in a week or so and re evaluate if needed..Please keep sending the prayers =D
Its been a pretty lazy day after the doctor we went to Golden Corral aka the ( pig bin ) Nothing better than a buffet and a cystic right?!? Talk about getting your moneys worth. Then we left and went to pets mart ( imagine that! ) we picked up some yummy roasted chicken gravy ( I get that assumption from the noises slimer makes when eating it ) and naturally we asked if they had by chance gotten any new heavy duty Slimer proof toys to play with and guess what?!?! They did!! It is a gumby ya know the green guy from tv!! Yea him and Slime LOVES him...I tried VERY hard to get you some pictures of Gumby..But Slime was not to keen on that idea..But I did get a few..or I did get my attempts anyway =D
This was the start of my conversation with him..I just tried to tell him I only wanted a picture and Id give him right back..
I managed to pick him up..
But that was short lived...
Ok fine have a little taste...
Yum Yum....
Must get Gumby!!!!
Ok my turn..just one quick little picture...
NoOoO...
Ohh almost...
Aha!! Got it!! Even tho Gumby is now blind in his left eye..I DID get you guys a picture =)
Ok so now that thats over on to M..
Boy he sure is handsome ;)
He says to tell you guys HI..So HI
He also says I should go finish supper because hes starving..Ha! starving..Really!!
BUT before I go I must let you know Slimer has defeated me..
Oh!! But what is this...Slimes leaving hahaha
Gumbys all alone just waiting on me to grab...hummmm
SIKE!!!!
Do take note on how much weight hes gained =)
Ok Ok off to finish supper.

Cf Sucked
We met Heather 2 years ago while we were in the hospital and spent quite a bit of time together..we visited her house in P~Cola a few tome for the weekend and often ended up in the hospital together since.
She got sick shortly after we met her and has spent quite a bit of time in the hospital.. just last year around this time she had a section of her lung removed and did better for a bit.
Sadly because of a series of unfortunate events we were not very close anymore. Last time I spoke with her was in October right after M's sinus surgery..I thought she was ok then but I guess not. She has been in the hosp every since we were in Feb. She had been on the vent for a few weeks but had come off a week or so ago..thats the only details I know right now besides this post her boyfriend Shane wrote on myspace
"From: Koolman R.I.P. Heather

Body: heather passed away last night. it was very peaceful and she didn't suffer much in the end. i'm just glad she doesn't have to struggle any more. no arrangements have been made as of now but i'll let anyone know who asks. thanks to everyone who helped both of us along the way."
Please keep this family in your prayers.
My ♥ hurts so bad for her family and friends.

So I was thinkin...
Kinda like that! We put cookies and stuff in it and he just licks away
And he just plays for hours..If your holding him when someone gets it out he wiggles and squils like a fat little pig!!
He even sleeps with his paw on it..So just when I thought normal everyday stuff in my house was fine I heard this awful sound that sounded like a little girl screaming/crying so naturally I mosey down the hall and this is what I find
Yea just for no reason he decided to hate the close basket..go figure??? Only in the brain of a slimer!! We are having a terrible festival full of rain thunder and lightning so we are having a inside movie/game/pizza/card night unfortuntaly because of poo face blog stalker I cant post many pics!

Oh Yea.. Late Grilling Goodness
1. Are you competitive?
Very much so! I still can beat M at Wii Fit soccer!! And I am the sour gummy worm Queen! Its all in good fun, no crazy must win kinda thing lol.
2. What do you most often eat for breakfast?
Normally I dont..But when I do its Grits =)
3. Do you have a 'raggidy' piece of furniture?
Yes sir! Its awesome! Its my great grandmaws chair and it has so had it.
4. What do you wash your face with?
Nutrogena..some kinda orange bead stuff.. And when feeling spunky I use a green mask that M finds so HOTT!! not..
5. What colors does Spring make you want to wear?
Aqua! I just wanna wear aqua period lol.. But I really should get a tan 1st
6. Do you like working your flower beds?
Not so much.. I mean I will but I dont really like it.
7. What is something you want that you've never had?
Ha this could get long.. Umm I will just list 3 things I want and have never had
1. A cure for CF
2. 1 million dollars
3. A in ground pool ( my own ant my house )
8. How many miles do you have on your car?
157 thousand something... Poor Helen the honda shes a trooper!
xox
Slimer did what?!?
The Perkins house hold is swell!
M feels great and has been spending 98% of his time playing the new Resident Evil 5. The other 2% has been spent trying to convince me he dont need to be doing a treatment.. Nice try bud..too bad it dont work. =)
A bit of some sinus problems coming on.. Im sure it has something to do with the splendid weather here in Bama.. woo.. Hes also having a bit of trouble with the Rheumatoid Arthritis but I think its because we had a stupid issue with the pharmacy and he ended up missing 2 doses of Naproxen.. Let me vent a bit on this pharmacy isssue! We get 90 day supplies of M's meds for odvious reasons and we always get them from the same people he has used for 14 years.. well 3 weeks before he ran out of meds I put in the order for the new ( it takes 7-10 days to come in )12 days go by and no meds so I call well they tell me "You have a $27.00 balance so we have your order on hold" Really?!?!? 27 bucks?? 14 years of being loyal!!! uhhh.
So I call in a 30 day refill of Naproxen to the local pharmacy because that was the only one we were almost out of and couldnt wait on.. We drive to the local pharmacy pull up to the window and I ask for the script.. Do you know what the lady comes back and tells me?? "Im sorry this cant be refilled until May 2009"
WHAT?!? so it clicks for me that the 90 supply is showing up but I dont have the 90 supply so.... anyway to wrap this up we had to go to the RA doctor and get him to call the local pharmacy and explain..Im sure he didnt call the nurse did ( better put that so my blog stalker dont accuse me of making this story up.. we all know doctors dont do middle man work.) So Naproxen is here and hopefully in a few days M's shoulder will feel better.
FUNNY INSERT HERE
M was so sweetly trying to cook me some mac & cheese and after 30 mins he asked me why he didnt here the water boiling yet (no he was not checking to see if it was boiling he was way to busy playing resident evil) so I went to see why it was not boiling and this is what I saw
He didnt find it near as funny as I did!
In Slimer news...
Slimer decided he didnt approve of M & I being gone to run errands so long ( 2 hours ) so he DESTROYED the living room.
He ate the candles, the remote, drank the liquid from the air freshner thingy, chewed up M's play station controller ( I caught hell for that 1 ), ate the albuterol chamber, chewed up my very fav. blanket ( the only cashmere thing I owned )and then decided to take a nice big crap right in front of the door!! Thank you Slimer. Since my last post he has destroyed 4 new toys including the Kong toys that do in fact have a guarantee thats says no destruction ( Thanks for the advice blog ladies they did live longer than the other toys ) a base ball and his 1st leash.
We have decided to stud him out and he really seems to be liking that lol! His very fav. thing to do is join you in the shower.. he jumps right in and sits down.. and he dont mind at all if you soap him up and scrub away! He will just sit, grunt and snort the whole time. He dont even care if you blow dry him! Strange but we ♥ him BIG! Even tho he hands down has the worst gas EVER!!
Despite how angry I was I did find humor in the fact that he only chewed off the power button!! What good does a remote do with no power button?!
Ok so this week has been "lets see what all can go wrong for Kellee week"
Besides the above problems and destruction of the house the dryer caught on fire, the washer flooded the utility room ( I blame slimer, the hose had been chewedd up ) and the dishwasher broke. As if thats not enough I (after 2 years) went and got a eye exam (If you know me personally you know Im blind as a bat.. if you dont know me personally let me tell you just how bad it is..you know that big black E on the bored when you do your eye exam?? yea I cant see that!) and got to order some new contacts.. I asked if I could get some to sleep in mainly for hospital stays ( it really sucks needing to get up in a hurry and running in to every thing while keeping in mind M may be hooked up so watch out for IV lines ) and they told me about some new ones that let more oxygen in to your eye so they dont dry when you sleep in them.. Yay so I got a sample of them ( so excited ) popped them in and guess what?!?! My eyes dont like them!! Nope not at all..But do I have a regular pair to put in? NO!! They wont be for 2 more weeks! So I get to walk around rolling my eyes and squinting.. Not to mention it looks like Im looking through a bubble! Everythings big and kinda funny looking.
So to wrap up this stupidly long blog post we are all good, new washer and dryer, dishwasher fixed, perscriptions are in and I cant see! Going to clean the yard and laugh at M pretending to go back to the future =D
Oh and dont forget!! Come visit my store on CafePress!

A Post From Katey
1). The Lord is in Control. "In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials," 1 Peter 1:6We are chosen by God, and God is working in us during times of trials. We may even have more trials or problems because we are believers. We will suffer according to God's will. But we can rejoice in knowing that HE is in control, and the suffering will only be for a little while.
2). The Lord is refining our faith! "..so that the tested genuineness of your faith--more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire--may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 1:7NOTHING happens by accident. There is no fate or Karma, if you are a believer in Jesus Christ. During times of trials, the Lord wants us to show that our faith is authentic. HE is burning off all of the impurities. So next time you are facing a trial, sickness, death, etc....just remember that the Lord is testing the authenticity of your faith!
3). The Lord is becoming more & more precious to us!! "Though you have not seen him, you love and trust him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory," 1 Peter 1:8During these trying times...we realize how precious our Lord and Savior really is to us!
4). The Lord is close (intimate) with us right now (during the times of trials). "...obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls," 1 Peter 1:9The word "obtaining" refers to receiving on a continuing basis. We continue to draw closer to God on a daily basis. It is during these times of trials that God is the most intimate with us.I think this is very comforting, relieving, and rejoicing to know that our times of trials happen for a reason, and that God uses these times to refine our faith, and become closer to each and every one of us!
Again let me say I DID NOT write that its from Katey at http://cftransplantmiracle.blogspot.com
I just copied and pasted that part so anyone that reads my blog that dont read hers could read this.
I think its amazing and if it could help anyone else today like it helped me I dont think Katey would mind my theft at all.
Thanks K!!!!

Prayer Babbling in Kellee Form
Everything seems quite nice here despite the fact that ants are in my kitchen.. O well.. M is good very much so active and back in Karate.J has remained in school with no trouble all week.And Slimer is just as full of bad gas, lots of snorting, and happiness as you see in his pictures..
He really lays/sits like this for hours lolOk so random I know but here I go.. Is there a such thing as praying wrong?
I was with my grandmaw the other day and we were riding down the road and she asked me if I was hungry??? a few seconds like 30 seconds or so later I answered..She asked me why it took so long for me to answer and I told here I was in the middle of saying a prayer when she asked..she starteds to giggle and ask what I was praying for? she says " we are already on the road, your suppost to pray befor we leave" so I reply with " I was praying for the people brokedown back there.. well she starts to laugh even harder and then just ends the conversation. So that made me think..Do I pray dif. from everyone else?? IDK but I asked M how many times a day on average does he pray and he says "Well you know we do at night and in the morning together, and then 2 or so more times a day" Ok so now Im like geeze I sure do pray alot ( 30+ times a day ) so then my brain stays in overdrive and I ask M again how long it takes him to say his average prayer and he tells me "sometimes a few mins. some times a few seconds just depends " And here again Im like woah I really am crazy since it take me a good 30 mins to say all of my prayers after I do my basic prayer with M... So anywho with all this being said I dont think theres a such thing as praying to much or to long or right or wrong but I do think its safe to say that I TALK to God pretty much all day rather than "say my prayers"
