We got good news to start with...They did not have to scope his belly because his Testicales are where they are suppose to be.This was the best NEWS OF ALL.He did well getting put under and waking up.He had the nurses wrapped around his cute little fingers.The surgery took 45 minutes compared to the 3 hrs he was starting with.He was very happy to see Momma when he woke up and i could not get him to leave the comfort of my lap to get dressed to go Home.I finally told him I got him a present and thats all it took he got right up and got dressed.While he was in Surgery my mom and i went to the gift shop.He got a diego Balloon he LOVES LOVES diego and a teddy bear dressed as an engineer and sings i been working on the railroad.
Landen didnt care much for the Bear but he LOVES his Diego Balloon.Tonight he would hit it watch it float around and yell...GO DIEGO GO he is doing incredibly well.I gave him Lortab at 6 pm the nurse told me to get it to him as soon as we got it at the pharmacy at the hospital.He will get another dose at Midnight.I dont want my baby in any pain.He is now in Our bed sleeping soundly.Easier to have him there then upsatirs in his room with giving him meds.He does not seem to be in any pain just very sleepy.I am so relived he did so well with anesthesia i was so worried.My parents went with Micahel and i to the hospital today which was nice my mom and dad ADORE Landen and would have worried sick all day if they hadnt have went.I am happy he is home and sleeping comfortably GOD is GOOD.

CAN WE SAY LACK OF SLEEP?
I dont like when i am like this...I am worried over my Landen and I am up worrying about our Elijah.I have done Laundry and folded.Dusted my dining room Packed Landens diaper bag for tomorrow.I just cant sleep i lay down and i toss and turn so i get back up thinking ok if i do something i will get sleepy but its not working.In just a few short hours i will be up to give Landen his medication scheduled to get it at 5 am.
Landen was so cute this evening.My mom and dad come by for coffee and of course to see the kids.Landen was out in the yard when they pulled up and my mom was laughing.He was out their moving his arms and saying...HYAH like he was kerati kicking someone My mom really got a kick out of this.When they were here he decided he needed a snack and to drink coffee with Grandma too.His coffee is (hotchocolate).So he had him 2 oatmeal cookies and cup of hot chocolate aka coffee.
After mom and dad left i made supper and Landen cleaned his plate.He played a bit after supper and Sissy read him his library books while i was cleaning the kitchen.Later he decided he wanted another snack before bed so he had goldfish crackers and chocolate milk.Then it was time to get a bath and brush his teeth and get ready to hop into bed.I let him eat what he wanted since he is cut off from food allday long tomorrow.I dont like this at all how do you explain to a little boy that Mommy cant give him nothing to eat?
I also think about Elijah and worry so much about him.He lays in his crib alot and i so badly wanna go there and just hold him .I know this is not possible so i pray he stays healthy until we get there.I pray this adoption goes quickly so he can get the care he so desperately needs.I need to quit worrying myself silly about my 2 baby boys.But Mommas have a right to worry dont they?

LANDEN IS HAVING SURGERY
I am nervous Landen is having surgery tomorrow and i am worried about him being put to sleep.The topper is...He can have nothing to eat ALL DAY.Surgery isnt until 3 pm it is scheduled as outpatient.Then there was a problem with his medication.He usuaually gets his morning med around 8 am.The med has to be taken with food.We usually put it in Pudding.Now we have to give it to him at 5 am in order for him to go ahead with surgery he has to have this med to prevent a seizure. How do i withhold food from a little boy who dont understand?This is going to be a rough day for him please pray everything goes ok with my sweet little boy.

SHOPPING AND OTHER STUFF
I cant sleep and i decided to do some shopping. I been buying things for our sweet babe.He was in need of Pajamas and gymboree had a few in his size so i am sure he is set now.I love shopping there they have the cutest clothes. I think about him every second of every day! I am worried about him laying in that crib .I worry if he gets enough to eat or is he happy.All kinds of things run through my head.
I did this same thing with Rebecca and Landen before they came home.I fretted all the time.Here i am doing it again.I so cant wait to get him in my arms and kiss those sweet chubby cheeks of his.He is soooo ADORABLE the most gorgouse boy ever. I am so ready to get him home.All i have left to buy mainly is diapers and meds to take in case we need them and of course formula and cereal.
We have his pics throughout our Home.Linda is so excited they have to do a report on a country and she chose Liberia.She told her teacher her brother is waiting in Liberia to come home and she picked Liberia to learn more about his country and to honor him.She talks about him all the time to her teachers she is so excited and done Informed me that Emmanuel is HER BABY lol.
She says i now have 2 babies as Landen is HER BABY also.Sometimes we go rounds because she wants to act like she is momma and gets Bossy with me.Especially when i correct Landen she thinks im horrible for putting him in time out or taking a favorite toy away.I have to remind her i am mom and when he does something he isnt suppose to in order to learn he goes to time out.
I am sure when our little guy gets home she will be the same way with him.Wanting to help in everyway including telling me how to feed and Bathe him lol.She is only 15 and such a momma she will make sure both boys are taken care of i am sure.Tomorrow i send the rest of the dosier things to the agency and pray it goes from there.Then we start saving the rest of our Travel monies. I have never flown before so i am a bit nervous but my excitement at going somewhere outside the U.S. and even better to go pick up OUR LITTLE MAN out weighs my fear for flying.
I missed so much by not going to India with my husband to get our daughter and 2 yrs later our son.Its something i will never get back.I wont do it again.I want to hold him and care for him while there.I dont want to Miss anytime at all with him. Ok im rambling guess i should try to catch some ZZZ i have physical therapy in the morning then have to report to work.

THIS AND THAT!
Does it ever end? My dryer went on the blink last week...I do about 3 to 4 loads a day and this created a problem.My darling husband fixed it after 3 days of not working.So now i am backed up and working hard to get it all done.I dont want to spend my sunday washing all day.So i am trying to get it done now.Linda is staying with my neice and my great neice tonight.Brian went with the neighbor kid to a town near by to help him work on a car.Rebecca is in her room but comes down to help me fold and put away.Landen is playing with his Morroca in the kitchen.He will be going to bed very soon.His seizure meds make him sleepy.
My Husband has his nose in a movie lol so all is quiet.Except for the street dance up the way.We can hear the band playing inside the house. Its Lancaster 150 yr anniversery of being a town so they have had things going on all day in our little farming community town.We had talked about taking the kids up to listen to the music but decided against it.People are drinking and we just dont want the kids around it.
I should be working on Emmanuels crib quilt but I just dont feel like it so i am on here instead.I lead a very boring life.My teenagers(i have 3 of them) think they dont need mom no more and spend less time with mom and dad.I am glad Landen needs his momma and so will Emmanuel when he gets home.This is the week Landen has surgery i am anxious about it.It is outpatient if all goes well.We still dont know what time we are to be there.Surgery day is Wensday september 15.They are suppose to call a day ahead and let us know what time we are to be there.If its too early we will go stay in a hotel tuesday night or maybe the ronold mcdonold house.
I get worried when they put him under but know he has to have this surgery it is not an option.Please pray everything goes well for my little boy.I am a worry wart anyway.I need to pack his favorite book and a couple of his favorite toys to take with us.Ok enough Rambling for tonight.
