Sorry for the hiatus! Not much has changed here since November, Reiko is still in his fracture cycle, currently his R shoulder is broken as well as his L arm, he has been in alot of pain and its been hard on all of us. But Let me go back and tell you all about Christmas.
Just before Christmas my dad was put in the hospital for pancreaitis, it was quite scary and he was told that he was very close to dying, Thankfully he pulled through and he is home now, he was in for 2 weeks, missing Christmas and he still isn't back to normal yet, he has lost probably by now 30lbs and you can really see it, he has no appetite at all, but hopefully soon he will be back to normal. So Christmas was definitely not the same without him at home being grumpy lol. We still had a Christmas dinner at my moms Christmas eve and it was hard on her, she was sad and was really missing him being at home. Next year will be better.
Christmas for our little family was actually fantastic! Reiko had almost 2 weeks break free so that was a wonderful present to him. Christmas day Kai woke me up at 730 and was super excited, we came downstairs and he was jumping up and down looking at the presents, but it was pure torture for him because he had to wait 30 minutes until daddy got home from school. And When daddy got home the jumping up and down started all over again and he was so happy to finally open his presents. Reiko didn't really care about opening the presents so Kai "helped" him open them all lol. After the presents were open daddy made breakfast and then we headed out to Oma's for more presents. But Kai did something so unlike him, he was so excited about the new toys he asked us to go home! So we left early. Over all it was a great Christmas, Derek bought me a pedicure and massage, which I go for Monday, my first Hot Stone Massage ever! I am excited for it. OHHHH and also of course when Derek was opening his gifts from me, he opened his new shirt and low and behold he is wearing the EXACT shirt I had bought him. The story with that is, I bought him the shirt on his wishlist, one of the many shirts on it, I forgot which one I bought and I wrapped it right away, later in November at MMA fight he bought a shirt, he even joked he hoped it wasn't the same one I bought him. So for a whole month of him wearing that shirt I never realised he already had the same one. Now he has two shirts, lucky him lol.
New years was boring, Derek worked so it was just me and the little men, went to bed before midnight lol. This last week was hard cause the fractures started up again for Reiko, it started out with the shoulder so that was wrapped up so later this week his other arm broke, and so I had to let out at least one limb so he wouldn't go crazy in a straight jacket, he is using his arm with the broken shoulder but very limited. I have been having very whoa is me days this week, pitying myself and Reiko and this awful, stupid disease. Today was a hard day, because it seemed like everything I did was hurting him, and he was just giving me this look like "why mommy" and it just killes me to see him hurt like this. But hopefully things will finally calm down for him, he just needs this fractures to stop for a long time.
Kai has been on Christmas vacation the last 2 weeks, loved the first week, the second week I was counting down the days until school lol. He has been great but very bored, its hard on him when he is constantly being told "BE CAREFUL" "NO RUNNING" "QUIET" our house is just not meant for being crazy and its unfair to him, but its something he has to grow up with unfortunately.
As for me there isn't much different, I start another online course Monday, I finished my last 3 courses with A+'s and have a 4.20 GPA so far, and I am super proud of that. In February I have to get my L breast ultrasound because I had a lump but it changed from a ball to a long ridge, my dr says he doesn't think its cancer but because it changed shape he wants to be safe, and if the ultrasound is iffy then we will proceed with a mammogram. I am not nervous about it, but I will be if they do have to order the mammogram.
Thats life right now. Another boring blog entry, sorry lol. Take care everyone

Dear Jess, just found your blog and wanted to send you and the boys lots of love from Holland. I am a mom of 3. And we have at least 2 things in common. 1. a boy named Kai (my eldest) and 2. a child with OI, our youngest, 5 year old daughter Sophie. And I do hope we have something else in common: An unbreakable spirit. Every day again. Keep blogging and sharing your authentic, genuine and couragous stories! I'll look again some time. All the best to you all! Dagmar
