Random Pics.

Here are a few random pictures of little Miss. Quinn. Sorry that I haven't posted in a while. Mom called me to complain- so I thought that I would offer some pictures of cuteness as an apology. :) With this semester coming to an end, I am a little bit overwhelmed. I can't wait for the summer off to just enjoy life! I do have some Easter pictures and (of course) some new park pictures to post. All in good time.

This is Quinn's new dolly. She got her from her MomMom and man, she is IN LOVE. Quinn named the dolly "QuinnOndra"- all one word. Yes, she named the doll after herself. hehe

The Jokester Princess

The other day Quinn "told" her first "joke". Dan and I couldn't stop laughing. She was so funny.

Here is what happened. I asked Quinn if she had a runny nose. She repeated "runny nose" and started laughing. Then she began to run around the house snorting like a pig.

Get it? RUNNING NOSE?!?!?!

Painting Nails

She was just so happy to see pink nails!!!

Chatting in the Car

Finger Painting Fools!

We have been finger painting a lot recently. Man, she is so messy.

Love of the Park

Man, I love this little girl. She is probably the happiest person I know. She makes me reevaluate everything in life. Because of Quinn, I am a better person. I know that it sounds strange, but it is true. She makes me smile... a lot

Rough Times

Out poor Quinny has had a rough time recently. We went in for her sleep study last night at 8:00pm. She was hooked up to about 20 different leads on her tummy, back, legs, armpip, and face by around 8:30. They even had about 6 or 8 on her scalp. Then we watched some Thomas the Train, read about a zillion books and tried to get her to go to sleep. By 10:30 she still wasn't sleeping. She was pulling at all of the wires and crying. Man, she was not only mad but scared and oh-so-angry at us. I told her that we were going to spend the night at the doctors and she was excited. Then I told her that the doctors were going to put buttons on her tummy and hair- like Frosty- and she was excited. However, when she got them; not so much. Finally around midnight she fell asleep for about a half of an hour and one of the techs told me that she only needed 2 more leads put on. They tried to get the last two on her and she woke up... screaming and ripped at her leads and pulled by the handfuls. Man, how do they expect 2 year old to stay asleep with their entire face/head/body covered in leads and tape and concrete-like glue?? Around 1:30 am one of the techs said that if she wasn't able to get to sleep soon (and if they couldn't put all of the leads on her-) then we would have to reschedule. At this point, I knew that Quinn wasn't going to go back to sleep. She was angry, growling even. She has busted blood vessels all over her face now from crying and yelling for so long- pure torture. So we just left.

Today Quinn spent over an hour in the tub while I tried to take off the lead contacts from her tummy, back, and legs AND tried to get the concrete/glue and gauze out of her hair and off of her face. (on a side note, she called the concrete/glue stuff bananas because before it hardened it felt like a smooched banana) :)

We are NOT going to be getting this done again. We are going without. Either her doctors think that she needs the surgery or not. End of Story.

Next-

Quinn's Urologist thinks that she is having bladder spasms. We have a few options.

1. put her on a muscle relaxer

2. give her suppositories and MiraLax

So- we chose #2. She will be on Pedia-Lax for 3 days and then MiraLAX for a few months. Hopefully, by "cleaning her out", it will reduce any pressure on her bladder.

I am just tired of seeing her hurt all of the time.
