Gosh it's been 4 days... and in 4 days....

Erica and Carl welcome Miranda RaeLin Stark into the world!!! She's absolutely adorable from all the pictures we have got to see of her, I can't wait to meet her in person, but she has a little bit of special time needed at the hospital to make sure she gains all her weight and she toughens up a bit more for this real world bull :) She's already a fighter and full of spunk from all the postings, so I am sure she will be just fine.

Part II of the knee --- the meeting with the Orthopedic doctor today..

I have fluid in my joint.. not a significant amount, what they consider the small effusion, but it's through the entire joint, and in time... a scope will be needed to figure out what is going on, but right now the doctor did not feel that it was something that he felt would give me any more comfort than that what is already being done, ie pain meds, the immobilizer for when it's at its worse.. like.. NOW. So I've still got to put a note into Dr. R tonight to see what he has to say about it and what his feelings are, but for now.. it's just going to be pain that either will or will not go away. It hasn't changed in six weeks, I am not expecting a huge change now.

On another side note, I won't go into a lot of details but I'm pretty sure I have a UTI so I am venturing to the instacare in the morning to get that checked out. Kevin's temp job ended today, so that means the apartment won't be empty for this mass inspection that is supposed to happen. So little ones off to school, I'll come home and tidy up the apartment and then I'll venture over to the instacare, unless of course i can side track that with a lab request for the test and let the doctor handle it all out of office.. now that is a good thought :)

I've promised Mrs. Erica some Enchilada's so that will be my wednesday quest for her, to make and deliver some enchilada's. After all this, she deserves them and while she is still healing and everything else.. it's the least I can do.. afterall she watched my kiddo's for me while I had the other ones!

So he's for hope of Step-Saver hiring Kevin for the local run, which they have interviewed him for, for the speedy and good recovery of Erica, for little Miss Miranda to keep thriving and doing so good so that all of us can hold her soon.

Nighty night my friends :)
