Poop, poop, and more poop!

Yes Wednesday is over! I would say I am excited for the weekend but I just have to work! It really blows! You know I should be rich! I would make an excellent rich person.

Today my mind was numb!! I tried so hard to think of something funny to post and I came up blank! It was just a bunch of empty thoughs. Things no one really cares about. So what in my day could I write about that people would actually laugh. Being a mom with 2 kids in diapers and having 2 extra kids in diapers, the only thing I could come up with is poop. Poop is kind of funny, when you think about it. It is like fart, you say fart to a kid and they laugh histarically! Try it or just fart and they will think it is the funniest thing. Kids look at there poop and there proud! Like they just climbed Mt. Everest. Yes men do the same thing! Now as adults...well women...we are not allowed to laugh at such disgusting things. Well if you had the poop day I had you are gonna be laughing!

Surgen Millers Warning:
Reading this story may cause unwanted sterilization. It is not for the childless or weak hearted. We hold no responsibility if you no longer are wanting to have children and use unreversable birth controll.

FYI... we have unreversable birth controll for this reason alone! We, the Millers, have taken this percation.

So I have 2 extra kids I am watching for the week. Keri 2 and the other Koby 5 months. Put Cache 2 and Dylann 1 in that and it make 4 kids that poop in diapers. Ok well we are going to minus Kobe because in all the time I have watched him (now going on 1.5 weeks) he has only pooped once. Which could be good, if you are like me and hate changing poopy diapers especally if they are not your kids, but no. This kid needs to poop. He farts like no other and no poop comes out so as you can see not good for me. Now Keri today pooped... yeah he pooped all over the place and managed to not only get it all up and down him but got a big poop dropling on my floor. Yeah thats right! Left there like a deer! (I mean the animal... note spelling.) See he is also lactose intolorent... in fact I don't think he is totlorent to much. Because no matter what I feed the kid his poop is still runny as all get up. So him getting a poop dropling on the floor, I have to say takes tallent. Moving on to my little ones... thats right I have a collection of poopy diapers in my grage. I think sometimes the smell starts leaking into the house at the end of the day. I smell poop and it aint the grage...yup Cache needs a bum change. Go change him. He gets mad... humm must not want to stop playing...nope he aint done! Now my kind hearted son at least waited till I got the diaper back on. Ok another diaper. And the finally kicker of the day... would be Dylann reminding me we had chowmain noodels for dinner the night prior. Oh...the big kicker...I had to actually pull the lonely noodle all the way out. Yummy! I think I will eat some left overs tonight! I love being a mom! What could top a day like that? Hell who gets that excitment at work!

Other great things that happend today. Thinking.... thinking... thinking...
I loved seeing Cache watch a movie and smile even when he doesnt have his hearing aids in. I think it is amazing that he still follows the story without words and laughs at the appropriate parts. I think any normal person would be lost with out the words on a movie but he seems to get it and enjoy it. I think it is remarkable. His teacher was telling me today that she thinks that disabled kids are so much stronger. Not by strength but by drive. The have something about them that makes them want to be better, want to succeed, want to be the same as the rest of the world. I think she is right because he is a fighter. He will keep up with anyone and he will not ask for help or sympathy. He is an amazing child.

This is the day he got his hearing aids for the first time.

Our Long QT Syndrome Story

My teenage years were full of sports and exercise. There was not a day that went by I didn’t have some sort of game or practice. My days consisted school, track, soccer, a jog, and finished up with some strength training. Never would you have guessed my heart was broken. I was older, married and about to have my second child, Cache. I was off to my usual 32 week check-up at my obstetrician office. That was the day our lives changed forever. It was that exciting moment when you get to hear that slushing heart beat and know that the big bump in your belly is this living being in your body. That slushing sound turned out to be my nightmare. My doctor explained to me that the baby’s heart rate was far too low and that my son had something wrong with him. This is something you never expect to hear when you are having a baby. Babies don’t come out sick? At least that was my naive way of thinking. My doctor told me to walk over to labor and delivery and he would meet me there as soon as he was finished with patients he had in his office. When I got to Labor and Delivery, they strapped me up to all these machines, and I had instant panic around me. Nurses were rushing around and almost screaming. All I could do was sit there and wonder what was going on. Next thing you know I was being prepped for an emergency C-section. That was until my doctor walked in the door and told them all to calm down. It was a sigh of relief. My doctor performed an ultra sound along with what felt like another 30 doctors. They all agreed with one thing, my baby was fine for now and needed to stay right where he was. He stated that there was something defiantly wrong with his heart, but until he was born they would not know what. After 36 weeks and lots of daily monitoring and doctor visits, I was induced and my beautiful little boy Cache came into the world fighting like a champ. The next few hours were about to change our lives forever. Cache was diagnosed with Long QT syndrome a few hours after birth and was immediately transferred to Sunrise Children’s Hospital. I was discharged and headed there to figure out just exactly what was to happen next. There we were greeted by the pediatric cardiologist who had done an ultrasound on Cache’s heart in utero. He began to explain the details of Long QT syndrome and how they treat it. He then told us they could not treat Cache because his heart rate was already dangerously low. To fix this, our son was to have open heart surgery and have a pacemaker placed. A pacemaker, isn’t that for old people? We were numb and just in a really bad dream. Three days after our perfect son’s birth he was placed with a pacemaker in his little tiny tummy. I remember that day clearly and as I held him waiting for the surgeons, Landslide by Fleetwood Mac was playing on the radio. It was a Saturday morning and we meet the surgical team. They answered all are questions and we walked my infant son down a long hall. We gave him a kiss and we said good-by. The hospital waiting room was a ghost town. We waited, and waited, and waited, and then did a little more waiting. I clearly remember seeing the whole surgical team walk into the deserted waiting room. My heart sank and I think my knees nearly hit the floor. Why were all of them coming in? Why did they all need to talk to us? As we approached them the head surgeon said “Everything went great.” The best words we had heard our whole lives. I am not the “reach out and give a hug to a stranger” kind of girl but I did just that. The next few weeks, after Cache’s pacemaker placement, had its up and downs. His heart rejected the pacemaker and fluid began to build around his heart. They eventually had to go in and put a drain in to his heart to relieve the fluid. We had trouble with feeding and jaundice. It was three weeks to the day that my son was able to come home and have his two older brothers hold him for the first time. Life with Cache has proven to be a challenging one. Cache never passed a newborn hearing screen and while most parents would be freaking out about this, we had much bigger fish to fry. We were told at the time of his birth that Cache could have a very rare form of Lonq QT Syndrome called Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome. This rare form of Long QT Syndrome causes sever to profound hearing loss. At about the age of three, this was confirmed through genetic testing but Cache also carries another genetic strain as well, Long QT Syndrome type 1. No one, as of then, had ever carried these two genes on the national registry. He had a double dose. It was also confirmed that I too had Long QT Syndrome type 1 and so did my other two biological children. Through the years Cache has had many obstacles he overcame. At the age of 2 ½ he had a deadly arrhythmia and was lucky to be alive. After that arrhythmia, it was then decided Cache needed his pacemaker replaced with an Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD) and have a left cardiac sympathetic denervation. It was a little over a year after the ICD placement in his stomach that it became infected. The ICD was removed and he was placed in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit for a week until it was decided that he was big enough to have an ICD implanted in his chest. A few weeks later he had to go back in and have pieces removed that had been left in him on accident. Cache is a thriving child and plays like any other child. We have been very blessed and we all consider him our life saver. He not only saved his Mom, brother, and sister, but his Uncle and three cousins. I am the luckiest Mom in the world to be Cache’s Mom. He has given me far more then I could ever give him. Cache inspires people with his amazing smile, big blue eyes, and love of life. Cache has taught us and everyone surrounded by him that life is far too short and life is more than just the daily grind. It is about living life to the fullest and making sure those who you love, know you love them. It is about today, and living in today, not about what can happen in the future. We have today and that is all we need to get to tomorrow.
