Right down memory lane..

So today Reiko had a Respirologist appointment to see how his 02 Stats were on the mini sleep study at home, I knew it wasn't that good, but since he was sick his doctor just told us to redo it in June when cold/flu season is over and he is not sick at all. His doctor also informed me that since he has had this same mass for about 6 months they want to do a CT Scan of his lungs, here is the mass :

They are not sure what it is, it has been there for about 6 months now, it has sometimes gotten better but never goes away, they don't know what it could be..It could be scar tissue, or something else..so we will find out in June what it is. They aren't worried about it though, they just want to know what it is.

But after that appointment I thought that it would be really good to go see the people who made me sane in the first few weeks after Reiko was born, the nurses at St.Joesph's Hospital. I wasn't sure whether they would recognize us, but the minute we got into the NICU we were surrounded by tons of nurses going gaga over Reiko, they remembered him well, and me too. They were so excited to see how far he has come and told us to come back again! They really were such amazing people, and I was sooo very lucky to have met them when Reiko was in the NICU. The NICU is not fun, there are sick babies everywhere, but these ladies make you feel as comfortable as possible..I will never forget them. While walking into the hospital I had flashbacks of labour, of standing outside the doors with Reiko for the first time and waiting for Derek to pull the car up, I was honestly petrified of every single person coming near us, incase they hit his carseat by accident...I remembered walking down the hallway everyday to see my baby, going into the little room that he was in for 5 weeks, going into the care by parent room, where I looked after Reiko for a full 24 hours for the first time! So today was definitely bittersweet, 1 year ago our life was so crazy and different and now it is feeling so much more normal. Everyday he is getting stronger and for the first time since finding out there was problems when I was pregnant, life seems easy/good...it seems perfect. Although this is the hard part, the waiting, never knowing when the next break is going to happen...he has been break free for about 8 weeks now, so I am expecting it anyday now...But I will be soo happy if it doesn't happen anytime soon..*please please please don't let it happen*

Right now the boys are talking in their room, oh yea and it is 1030 at night! Kai woke Reiko up at bedtime and now they wont stop talking to eachother...it was cute at first, now an hour later...not so much lol...I am really tired and hoping to go to sleep soon, well at least maybe this will mean that Reiko won't wake up much tonight..I would take that lol.

I am finally feeling better! This flu lasted like 3 weeks, and was awful! But I finally got rid of it, I just had a headache today, so yay!! Tomorrow I go to Zumba again, I am so looking forward to it! Turbo is thursday, crap I just thought of something, Derek has a work meeting on thursday night...I don't think I will get to do Turbo...which totally sucks because I haven't done Turbo is sooo freaking long! And I won't get to do it again until after my schooling is done, because that starts Thursdays at 6-9pm....grrr.........well the schooling will be so worth it though.

Ok so I guess I have updated you all. So hope you have a good night. Take care!
