Rebekah headed off to Camp Del Corazon (www.campdelcorazon.org ) again this past week. This week was on Catalina Island. I forget the name of the actual camp ground but as I understand it, it is way on the tip. She left out of Marina del Rey Monday morning and got back Friday at 3pm. She had a blast as usual. She said Tom Arnold was there again this year. She knew her counselor from outside of camp. We actually attended Jeni's (aka ouch babe for camp purposes) wedding. Rebekah seems to have picked up a bit of a stuffy nose. And told tales of things she did at night....which make me want to cringe because that indicates, she was staying up.ggggrrr...I know how much of a pain she can be when she does that.
And as part of our tradition when we pick a kid up from camp, they get to pick dinner. So, last night we ate at Benihana's.
If you go to nursetv.com, there is a video there about the nurses at camp. At about 3 min 30 seconds you see the back of rebekah lol...pink polkadot shirt, short blond hair.

My dog
We have this dog who is about knee height with a purple tongue and a strangely mixed coat.
I dont know how to post pictures so, you will have to imagine
or WAIT!
You can see pictures here on this blog, belonging to someone who knows how to post pictures
http://myflyingcircus.blogspot.com/2006/10/vacation-to-yosemite.html
and
http://myflyingcircus.blogspot.com/2007/09/day-in-life-sept-18th.html
ANyhow, our vets office was offering "mixed breed testing" so, since they were already doing routine blood taking things, we said what the hey.
I havent received formal results yet but the vet just faxed over the one page report they got.
Our knee height dog is part Leonberger, Shiba Inu and trace amounts of Chow (hence the tongue) and Golden Retriever.
I have never heard of a Leonberger so, I googled it. It is a HUGE dog....hmm the markings are right, the coat is not....
Very interesting.

Where has time gone?
Well, July is more then half over and I can't tell you where it has gone.
I have sent kids to camp, organized the address lists for the reunion, settled current details that need to be settled for the reunion and done just general catch up.
(do you know how much laundry you suddenly have when one comes home from camp and dumps their bags????)
We went to the Getty center sometime in the recent past...(I dont want to get out my calendar so be happy with recent past) That place is awesome. I loved doing it with a class situation. It is so big I would never find my way around (evidenced by afterwards trying just to find the Renoirs and monets). The class was titled bodies in art...or something like that. We, er I mean the children, learned a little about materials in art, bodies and telling the stories from the bodies position and expressions....and roman mythology....they have some statues and paintings that tell the whole story of when venus was shot with cupids arrow....really neat place....I couldnt spend the day there only because the little ones loose patience...but they were really good for the class.
Next week we are going to the muzeo to see the Jane goodall display...should be good too.
We hope to get to the fair soon. And then the CHN expo is first weekend in august. The kids are already excited! They keep going on and on about Jim Weiss and his stories.
Sometime in the next couple of days christine has to register at Orange Coast College....then in august she will register for IVC. Her classes will be tue/th at IVC and wed at OCC. We hope sign 3 makes it this semester.
OH and bekah has an ortho consult on wednesday...I have put it off long enough. And I need to make her and I dentist appt on monday. I finally had a moment to do it on Friday and the office was closed, wouldnt you know it. And someday I will make an appt for me....I really need a physical, I havent had one in years.....ya' know moms are always last.....
Oh and we have read the first 2 books in the Kit book series. But, my personal reading has really been on the back burner....that is soooo bad.
And peter pan on stage now plays only every other day instead of daily in my house.
Am I done? perhaps....if I dont think of anything else before I hit publish. I am not going to re read...because then I will spend all day editing and fixing typos and such....and well, I have laundry to do!

Camp etc (updated at 2:10pm)
Tomorrow, Rebekah heads out to Camp Del Corazon and so begins the summer. We drop her off at 10am-ish tomorrow and pick up at 1pm friday.
She can't wait. She was up at 7am this morning wanting to pack. That will make for one very long day today.....as the day wears on between the lack of sleep and the heat....she is going to be one cranky girl, which leads to one cranky mommmy.
So, today's to do list:
Take sleeping bag out of box. Set flannel liner aside (will be needed for Christine's camp and later Camp Del Corazon session both on Catalina but not for this one)
Fill out camp forms
pack
grocery shopping
guess I should make a shopping list first
make DH's route for tuesday (normally monday AM chore but no time and I need to call the people before we leave tomorrow)
cut the cat nails(because he decided bright and early this morning to try and scale my backside)
cat box
I have a hundred other little things I could also do....maybe I will get to them....
filing
parts orders
voice mail
paperwork DH is supposed to give to me
laundry of course (but cant be done til packing is done...I fold clothes on my bed....same surface is used for packing)
make jam (with fruit I will buy at store #2, if it is ripe, if not this will have to wait another day)
I would like to read but, can't decide what to read next.....
What else can I ramble about?
On Friday, we saw "The Bodies Exhibit 3" at the Science Center. This one focused on hearts, sorta.....It was actually very interesting.....including smoker's lung and LEG...I had no clue there was smoker's leg. As for hearts, they had Hypertrophied heart, a VSD, a heart and its pacemaker, the abiocor LVAD and the berlin heart. They also had some arteries with CAD. They had whole bodies with just the bones and all the vessels....wow we have alot of blood vessels! Nathan had to inspect all the models to determine which were boys and which were girls. And also decided to read LOUDLY the description of the testes on display. In the end, Nathan insisted we needed a video of the exhibit. I believe the video also talks about the process used for preservation.
Our next field trip is to the Getty Center in a few weeks. I have never been there so, it should be at least interesting. I have 2 that enjoy art....although Rebekah prefers pop art (the warhol exhibit in San Diego was a hit some time back)
After that we have one planned at the Muzeo that is on Jane Goodall and her chimps. None planned at the moment for after that.....I don't have a fall calendar...and I am not sure what days Christine will be in class in the fall. When that is settled, we can work on fall trips.

updating
This will ramble....because....well life has been rambling...
I cant even recall when I last updated....
Rebekah's nose prob.
Dizzy spells are gone....
College is out for Christine for the summer....I have half of the fall forms in....working on the other half
Rebekahs dance recital is Saturday afternoon.....I wonder how long she will give me before she wants her hair cut short again.....they need it in a pony tail for the recital so, I wont let her cut it.
Gymnastics is going good. My kids love it.
Our annual picnic is over.....went really smoothly. I was happy
Rebekah learned to swim, demostrated it by spending 3hrs at a birthday party yesterday IN the water.
Nathan ran laps around the pool.....um ok...
We went to chinatown on friday for a field trip. It was a walking tour and meal. Christine tried a century egg. We have video. But she disabled embedding....check youtube for disneyschooling and then it is under her videos. The tour was alot of fun. And the meal was awesome.
We went to an angel game that night. Firework night. Nathan made a pig out of himself, eating two hot dogs.
I forgot to vote yesterday. Well I didnt know I was supposed to until DH reminded me about 530 or so....and I still managed to forget. Although I didnt really have a clue what it was on and figured it seemed like such a no brainer there must be things tacked on the propositions so prob good I didnt vote since I never read the propositions.
Rebekah's end of the year girlscout party is next week at the beach with tidepools. I have taken the kids there a few times. They enjoyed it. I liked it (not a beach person). Between a beach I am ok with and people I like, it will be fun....although a bit sad....I enjoy the adults at girl scouts.
hmmm what else have we been doing?
Oh yeah. I have been making jam....
I have blackberry and an apricot/peach/nectarine one....I want to make a berry one next (straw/rasp/blue) if my kids dont eat the berries. It is SOOOO easy! So now I make bread and jam....although I havent made the bread in awhile....maybe tomorrow....not sure in what time LOL....tomorrow is gymnastics.
My corn is growing nicely....I see tomatoes on my plants....my hot peppers FINALLY came up....now I have to thin them. Our early scorching heat killed all my radishes...and my mushrooms.
The plants we have out back in containers right now (we have no ground to put them in)
Lemon Cucs (supposed to be good for pickling, my next adventure lol)
oregano (not doing so hot)
Dill
basil
corn
carrots
tomatoes
bell peppers
hot peppers (assorted LOL...1 jalapeno...not sure what else because NOTHING else was growing so we just started throwing all the hot seed in there )
chives
Romanesco (a broc/cauliflower family veg)
and
my blueberry plant (usually takes 3yrs to get a "crop" so nothing yet)
Ok, I am out of time....
Have a nice day!

If this makes no sense to you, I apologize now
This is a rambling, I am way over tired email I just sent. If this makes no sense to you I apologize....I am all "talked/emailed" out over this so, I dont know who knows what anymore....because I am sick of talking about it and retelling the story....
Christine's blog has a brief note on it
Pretty much no corrections, just as I sent it to someone earlier. Oh I removed the profanity
no sedation
no contrast
radiology over ruled that citing head injury
of course she already had the iv by that time...
no food forever (9pm ish last night....needed at least 4hrs due to contrast med I wasnt getting up at 4am to force her to eat...this is important in the next set of sentances)
got a headache while waiting to go down
they gave her tylenol, after much debate....and rebekah not happy that they didnt have pills to swallow and she had to take chewables
and in true rebekah fashion waited until IN the CT scan machine to barf
yep I said barf...she barfed up her tylenol
then barf more when back on the floor...all while still saying she had a headache
they ok'd more tyenol, she declined the chewable.....
then more in my car (good thing I had a bag)
I gave her motrin and dramimine upon return home
she barfed more
took a nap
and ate
and ate
and ate
and now seems fine
funny they had 2 ped anthesiologist
one said he spent hours last night going thru her records and reading about her heart defect trying to figure it out
still had more questions
one asked when she had a band? (uh no band no ds) no band, natural banding of the pulmonary with stenosis
one asked when was it corrected I said ah...it is congenitally corrected TGA also known as LTGA no surgery,
interesting morning
left the house at 740
got there at 820 (thank you rush hour...normall a 15min drive)
on the floor and with IV by 915
down at 1030
home at 1140

Rebekah update
Too lazy to look where I left off.....forgive me if I duplicate.
So we go to ENT also know as head and neck surgery on thursday at 1130. I realize that morning that we have been to this office before but I have no clue who we saw last time. Rebekah is a semi regular at the Head and neck surgery in Irvine with the Physician's assistant but we were told we had to see a doc this time and that office had no openings.
Last time we were at this office was also for Rebekah. Also for some freak thing. At her Developmental ped a few years ago we noticed the ball of her earing (stud) had slipped back into the hole in her ear. He sent us to Urgent care(he recommended the one next to the hospital just in case) to remedy it. Rebekah scared Urgent care and they sent us downstairs to an apparently not busy Head and neck dr for removal.
So anyhow, we get there at 1130 and are told they are 40min behind. I check my watch 40min is ok....we both brought books. We sit down to read. About 15min pass and they call us in. I think wow they caught up. Yah no.....they brought us back, took history and then put us in a room. A much colder then the waiting room, room....of course with no gowns and no sheets. The nurse says yes they are still 40min behind. I say well I might need to leave....and I tell her what time. Back to reading. Well after 2 trips to the bathroom, it is obvious that rebekah is bored and she is now fidigiting with all the instruments....I give up....its about 20min prior to my deadline but I gotta go....(this is no 1245 or so).
I go back to the nurse's station where I talk to the nurse there (our doc's nurse had gone to lunch but she did tell us and also let the other nurses know about the situation). The nurse goes to reschedule. Now I already know they are booked weeks out (because I was called three times by different people to schedule and each time I let them give me a date before I told them I already had an appt) So, I briefly tell her why we are there and how I dont really know if we should be or was this just a way to get $25 out of us. As I say that a doc walks up.....he apologoizes for the wait and explains they had not 1 but 2 new cancer diagnosis this morning....he asks what is going on....looks for a moments....says wait just a minute. He comes back with papers for the patient he was seeing....also admission procedure papers....and says to us....go to room 2....and tells the nurse what he needs the patient to know and joins us. This is NOT the doc we had the appt with.
I tell him the whole flippin story....he looks at her a bit....asks me if her nose looks different at all. I say....well I wasnt taking notes on it before she decided to fly but it does look like maybe it is a bit fat in the middle area....I show him where. He looks a bit more. I tell him that maybe we are here because she already has breathing/ear issues . He checks her ears, her forehead area, all her teeth, her cheek bones, reads the xray and says "in the case of a nose, xrays are not useful. Physical examination is.....and really unless breathing is obstructed or the nose is dislocated...neither is the case. The we generally dont do anything. Yes there is still some swelling....and should last another week or so. Avoid all ball type activiites where she could miss and hit her nose because it isnt healed and then there could be a problems. (frisbee is also out....)and tells us it is ok to use the flonase again.. To which he never seemed really sure why we were told to stop.
And we head home. We get home at 1:25. Gymnastics is at 2pm. Just enough time to get Christine and Nathan and head off.
Ironically. On Tuesday I got a phone call from member services. I called them a few weeks ago because I dont particurally care for our ped. We got him by default when our beloved Dr Yu stopped seem patients. I loved them....Dr Yu (husband) was our Pediatric Cardiologist and Dr Yu (wife) was our ped. He stopped seeing patients over a year ago...Almost 2 now. Unfortunately, when I called to change Peds, no other one out of the local office had openings so, we were placed on the wait list. They were calling to take Nathan off the wait list. I was dialing the phone before the message finished. When I got them, I mentioned I actually had 2 kids (I moved Christine to a 12 and up general practioner when I called a few weeks ago) that I wanted with Dr Cordes. She said I called 70 people, you are the first to call back. YOu can move both. WHO HOO. It was funny too because that day I had said at least 10times while telling the story that I didnt like the ped....

Only in my house and Only rebekah
I swear.....it is always her....
Last week, we went to the snow. Not much left but we found a good patch and had fun with our friends....
Afterwards we went to Outdoor world. The floors are concrete. THe kids were giving each other piggyback rides and somehow rebekah ends up nose first on the floor and bleeding.
Oh goody
So we paid and left and headed to urgent care because it really looked pretty bad. but outdoor world had given us an ice pack and gauze which was really nice.
Anyhow, clearly not dislocated but take xray just for the file(free nose job as an adult due to a break not just because)...as they do nothing for plain breaks only for dislocations. We were told the xray would not be stat and to take it and head home. Contact ped in 3 or 4 days for results. So home we headed.
Late Thur I email doc, nope no results. He asks a few questions. I answer. He answers it really sounds not broken and still no results...this was about 930pm friday night.
He called tonight. She needs to see ENT next week and to discontinue her flonase. She has a Cortical Irregularity Fracture at the base ( DH talked to doc)
yep only rebekah
