OMGoodness, I have never had so much fun in all my life. Last night we were all playing the Wii w/our new game, JUst DaNCe. We even kids from the age of 3 & up!!! This is the coolest game ever and it makes you sweat...move muscles you haven't moved in a very long time... plus have fun!!! Check out the video...





Yes even Connie is up & dancing!!! We had such a good time, watching us, watching the kids, & watching those watching. I wish we could have Family night once a month for no reason at all... just because. I think we might be taking this game on camping trips.... can you see it now!!! I can.

Until next time... Mamabotos

Monday

Well, I started my 1/2 day today. I only go in the afternoon & let me say I felt like a stranger... lol. Not having seen people in 2 weeks, seemed a lot longer than that. But it was nice to see those little elementary kiddos was awesome, all in shock... asking if I was ok... sharing hugs, all of them smiling.... it made my day.

the second best part of my day was when I was walking into the gym... or seeing the Lady Cats come into the gym. All running (some) over and walking and excited voices to shout that they were glad to see me! lol.... these are an awesome group of girls and they care... yes they have a heart... lol. It was nice to see them and be back around these young ladies.

3rd part of my best day... coming home to my kiddos... Jantz has this thing now he has to come out, open your car door for you. So no telling how long you are going to have to sit in the car, but he will come. Ohh Cora Lee.... she is getting so tall and pretty, & smart. She loves school!!! She is always teaching Jantz what she learned at school. Sometimes is cooperative and most of the time he isn't. lol.

4th best part of my day... spending some time w/ Botos. Its amazing how much we both needed it. Just to talk and hug.... loved it.

Okay, now I am watching my new show "The Sing-Off", loving loving loving it. I wish everyone a great day. Stay Warm!!!!

Until next time... Mamabotos

Well, its the weekend. I had a good report from the Doctor. Still restricted to 1/2 days of work. Slowly but surely trying to build my strength back up. I guess I can do that by doing a load of laundry here or there.... nah, better rest. lol. I will have to say, I can't stand the thought of seeing 'dust bunnies." I might have turned into a clean freak, we will see though... don't get your hopes up Botos!

When I left the house yesterday,it was weird. I had not driven a car in 2 weeks!!! Yeah... freaky! But I managed to make it to the Clinic. Thank you Dr. Green for putting up w/me & taking great care of me....

Just me & the kiddos today on this fine Saturday. Botos is in Lubbock at a baseball Convention, then off to watch Canadian play. Man time!!!! When do I get some Girl time, no being in the hospital doesn't count!!! nice try though.... guys.

Okay, all is well at the Botos household. We have gotten all the shopping done for the kids, just need to buy for niece & nephews.

Thank you all for the cards, phone calls, concerns & prayers. This past two weeks have been an eye opener for me. In ways to slow down, family is much more important than anything else. How much it affected my kids while me being gone has blown me away. Sunday when I got home, Cora was just eating everything in site! Botos then made the comment that she had not been eating... well she ate enough that night she ate herself to sleep. Plus she wouldn't go to sleep unless she knew I was asleep or lying next to her. Sweet little girl, missed her momma.

Everyone have a great weekend, I think the kids I are going to sneak over to Magnum to watch the Christmas Light parade!!!

Until next time...Mamabotos

Pneumonia

Pneumonia fills the lung's alveoli with fluid, keeping oxygen from reaching the bloodstream. The alveolus on the left is normal, while the alveolus on the right is full of fluid from pneumonia.

People with infectious pneumonia often have a cough that produces greenish or yellow sputum and a high fever that may be accompanied by shaking chills. Shortness of breath is also common, as is pleuritic chest pain, a sharp or stabbing pain, either felt or worse during deep breaths or coughs. People with pneumonia may cough up blood, experience headaches, or develop sweaty and clammy skin. Other symptoms may include loss of appetite, fatigue, blueness of the skin, nausea, vomiting, and joint pains or muscle aches. Less common forms of pneumonia can cause a variety of other symptoms.

[edit]

Diagnosis

To diagnose pneumonia, health care providers rely on a patient's symptoms and findings from physical examination. Information from a chest X-ray, blood tests, and sputum cultures may also be helpful. The chest X-ray is typically used for diagnosis in hospitals and some clinics with X-ray facilities. However, in a community setting (general practice), pneumonia is usually diagnosed based on symptoms and physical examination alone. Diagnosing pneumonia can be difficult in some people, especially those who have other illnesses. Occasionally a chest CT scan or other tests may be needed to distinguish pneumonia from other illnesses.

WOW... so now I have time to look up what Pneumonia is, does and how it works. The above picture and description is so TRUE! Man I was a sick sick sick girl. I would like to thank CRMC and the nurses... I know I bothered them so much. I never saw the same nurse twice... does that say something.. ? lol and to Dr. Green... your the best!

Things that crossed my mind during my stay...

Why does the channel changer only go up! C'mon w/technology now days surely there are beds that can change the channel up & down; w/out having to go through ALL channels.

Childress needs a TACO BELL!!! craved it so much, watched so many commercials. What can I do to get one here?

Favorite commercial-- 'Oh, did I do that?' I got not cell phone, I'm just a pothole." lol.... made me giggle everytime.

Request not to put IV in the elbow area... everytime you bend your arm it would beep.

Request a lesson on how to work the monitor for the IV. So you don't have to call them every 5 minutes (bag empty, air bubble, etc)

FOOD- I know those cafeteria people hated me. I didn't have much of an appetite anyways but the minute they would bring in the food, I would cover my mouth and point to take it back out the door.... lol. Not kidding. Just the smell of it.... did not settle w/me. That happened everyday, 3 times a day. Finally, Apply jacks was the only thing I could eat.

Until next time... Mamabotos
