Here we go AGAIN!

Welcome back to the WORKOUT blog!  I know I kinda lost track on what this blog was suppose to be about with everything going on with Adalyn and Benjamin :)

So...to follow Adalyn's journey please go to:

Quick update on Benjamin though because I know people are probably wondering what is going on with him :)

Benjamin had his appointment on April 19th and the ENT said that he needed to have a CT Scan with contrast to see if they could see the mass a little better since the antibiotics did not take it away.  We had the scan on April 20th and I received the results that evening: there is a mass, cannot tell if it is in the gland or in a lymph node at this time.  Tonsils are very large and adenoids look to have grown back.  So, we went in to the ENT again on April 26th and had him scheduled for surgery.  He will have surgery in two weeks on May 21st.  They will be removing the mass (along with the lymph node and gland if it is affected) and sending it off to pathology to find out what exactly it is if it is anything.  He will also be having his tonsils removed as well as his adenoids again.  He also has a tube in his left ear that hasn't fallen out after 2 years :)  I figured if I am going to have a week of hell with the mass then might as well take everything at one time...no point making him go through it more than once right :)  He will have a small cut under his chin that the ENT said shouldn't be that noticeable.  Plus he is a boy, it adds character right :)

Now onto me! 

I am beyond stressed!  I did lose weight while Adalyn was in the hospital for those 10 days.  I am not sure what my weight is right now, I haven't had the guts to stand on the scale.  I do know that I lost weight because pants I couldn't put on comfortably before the hospital stay fit by the time I left :)  yay!  I am back to taking the Phentermine that I was taking before so hopefully that will help me out.  I got word that my kiddos got split up for soccer this summer since they had so many kids sign up so they split the girls and boys up so we will have soccer Monday-Thursday every week until August :)  Wow!  Good thing it is at McMorrow Field which isn't too far from my house so I think a couple times a week we will be walking to and from soccer. That will be a great way to get in some exercise :)

Thanks for sticking with me!

Have a wonderful day!
