Ok so first donation done!!! Still need to go back next Tuesday but for now, the list of things to do is starting to decrease!!
Well for today, I went over in the morning and did my shopping that needed done and then I had lunch and was still a ways away from the appointment time, so I went to the park and sat there and started to read one of my new books. I needed that, time away from everything!! even if it was only a couple of hours!!
At Canadian Blood Services (CBS) I had timed for about an hour for the donation, and well I was there a few minutes early and was leaving at the 1hour mark from the time of my appointment. The donation it self only took about 6 min but it all the paper work that has to be done that takes all the time!! Hopefully next week it will just be the blood donation next week and not so much paper work, hoping for 30min!!
One step at a time!! Day by day!! This is how I'm going to take the next 2 weeks!!

Up dating!!
Well I have my appointments to go and Donate for Lucas and now its just a matter of making my way to Sudbury!! I go for the first donation tomorrow and I don't think that is going to be a problem as this one will be just like when I donate on a regular basis.
I then donate again on the 6th and that week is gonna be so hard for me as I will be coming off of 4 day shifts, travelling to sudbury for this donation then working 2 more day shifts before I'm done until the end of September after Lucas' surgery!! Crazy couple of weeks!!!
I'm just hoping that my energy keeps up!! Iron do your job, and stop making me feel crappy!! Oh well maybe I should just lay off until after tomorrow!!
anyway that's all for tonight just wanted to give a little update on what is going on in my world!!

Three Weeks left!!
Well 3 weeks left and I'm not sure how I'm feeling, between working and home life I haven't really sat down long enough to think about it!! Calling home after the weekend My mom tells me how many people were asking about the boys and about Lucas and his surgery. Kinda makes you wonder some days who is actually out there that "is" thinking about you!!
When I'm at work I'm not thinking about home, or whats to come until I get distracted or someone asks me directly about it, and it doesn't seem to come up that often!! Thankfully because I don't like crying at work!! I do enough of that when I'm at home thinking about whats to come!!
I still have to book an appointment to donate blood for Lucas during his surgery, I'm hoping next Thursday or the next Tuesday but we will see!! I'm calling first thing in the morning!!
I guess the only thing I'm worrying about right now is if Lucas gets sick!! I was sick 2 weeks ago, now Chris was sick, it better not get passed on to Lucas, I don't know what I would do if his surgery gets cancelled due to and illness!!
I have almost everything ready for our trip, I have my time off, hopefully I will have most of it payed with vacation, stats and time in lieu!! Chris will have it off, but without pay, not a huge deal!! I still have to find cloths that either don't go over his head or have a huge neck on them, but I'm thinking I just may go with the pyjamas for him, mainly because it will be more comfortable for travelling, but I am open to suggestions!!
Another thing I have on my mind right now, like I don't have enough on my plate, is starting to plan the boys 1st b-day party. We have a date and know where we want to get a cake but that's about it. We are telling a few people when it is but haven't told most yet!! And I have decided to start selling AVON so I kinda take my mind off of things with Avon but just another thing I have to deal with!!! But I'm enjoying my time just starting my AVON home business, its great!! easier than I thought!!
I started that because I was hoping to get orders to help off-set some of the travel costs to go to Toronto but it will just add to some kind of fund for ourselves to have a little extra spending money!! Maybe once I establish customers It will help with travel costs, especially considering Lucas will be seen for at least 7 years after his surgery!!
Well I think I need to find a pillow and rest my weary eyes, 2 little boys have kept me hopping these last 2 days, even though we slept most of the day yesterday!! I'm back to nights tomorrow night for 2 then off to the island for the first of 2 weddings in the next 3 weeks!! So to Jen and Brad congrats!! and to the rest of my family we will see you this weekend!!

One month today exactly!!
Today is August 14th and Lucas' surgery is exactly a month away. to be honest I'm not sure how I am feeling about that. I could be feeling more around the fact that I am now back to work and that the boys are not themselves. But that will come in time as its a huge change for them as well as me, because they don't have Mommy for a few hours a day and they are at day care, and now tomorrow night is my first night shifts and it will be the first time Mommy is away from them for the night. Poor Daddy!!!
Despite all that, over the next month, I don't really have much time to think about all that stuff because if I'm not working I have so much other stuff to do. Like 2 weddings on the 2 weekends I have off now, another doctors appointment for Lucas with his family practitioner, and I still have to get an appointment day for going to Canadian blood services to donate blood for Lucas. All of this on top of a full time 12h shift work schedule. My 31 days is cut to 14 full days with the boys but some of those days are also days for travelling. Three will be travelling to the Island, 2 travelling back home, and another for travelling to Toronto, so that's 9 days together. Subtract another for the day I have to go to Sudbury, when ever that may be!! Then the 2 wedding days and I'm down to 6 days for me and my boys!! That sure don't seem like enough cuddle time!!
Now for some prayers that what ever this sore throat/fever thing I had last week doesn't make its way through the house, or touch Lucas at that, so he can have surgery in 31 days. Here's hoping, I honestly feel like I need a drink!!! Well at least I have 2 weddings I can celebrate with a drink!! I'll write more when (if) I have time.
one last little quote that is running through my brain tonight:

Hotel and Donation updates
This morning I get a phone call at 850am and I'm just kinda wondering who it is. Its an unfamilliar voice on the other end but she identified herself and said she was from Dr. Phillips' office and that she had some good news for me. It turns out that Lucas and I are compatable both being B+ blood types so I am able to donate blood for Lucas to use durring surgery. This is just great news!!
Then this afternoon I was calling around to hotels again to try to book on for the first couple of days that Lucas will be in hospital and well that was a little chore, but I got one booked, and at the same time found out why it was so hard to find any rates that were any good. I guess its toronto's film festivle that week and the hotels put up their rates for that week. So I booked a room about 5min away from the hospital. The rate is still $179/night but that is still half price. Not sure if we will keep it for the 3 nights but we will make that choice later, and we will move out to a friends place in Ajax, where even with the price of gas and parking it will still be cheaper then the room!!

Pre-anestetic, eye and pre-op appointments, travel home, and country fest
So the next day Lucas had 3 appointments starting at 830 in the morning. So I wanted to be at sick kids early like 745-800am and that's what I had planned, but the roads in Toronto again suck, where I could see the hospital from the hotel I had to drive a long way out of my way just to be able to get back to the hospital, I was ready to scream!!!
But we made it there parked and were up to his appointment exactly on time, well they wanted him registered by 815 so i think 813 was cutting it close!! This was the pre-anesthetic appointment and out of all the appointments that day this was probably the longest with a doctor/nurse combination and we were on our way to the next appointment by 920.
We found our way back to the eye clinic to see opthamology to check the pressure in his brain, we got there and mom and the boys found a seat while I waited to register Lucas again. Well this appointment was at 1000 and we were finally registered by 955. Crazy 25min standing in line to register. I think we waited another 10-15min and the nurse called us in and checked Lucas' eyes and sent us back out for 20min but that too was like 35-40 when the doctor called us in. I took Lucas in and in all of 5min we were done, no pressure looks good will see you in approx. 6 months as he has a little bit of a lazy eye.
It didn't take long to get to the next appointment, final one of the day, with Dr. Phillips. Again we registered there, at exactly 1115 (our appointment time) and only waited about 30min. Allan came in and spoke to us, he then left and Dr. Phillips came in, said "its not better" sounding kinda like he wanted it to be. But he let us ask the questions I needed to, like for day care after surgery - 3 weeks post op approx. and what about walking and falling and bumping his head - only worry if he gets a good goose egg then call and we will assess him. I'm thinking that was really all the questions I had and he left and had Allan come back in as Lucas needed some blood work as well and I asked Allan if I could be tested to donate blood for Lucas to use.
I then got registered and forms filled out and we were off to the lab. Lucas did great, he was screaming but I think that was because he was being held down/still, because he didn't get louder when he was poked for his blood. I was next and I have the bruise to prove it, just wondering if they are use to adults?? But any way after a little snuggle we were off back to the van to hit the road to get home!! By this time it was already 115pm.
On the way out of the city I kinda got a little lost, couldn't get my bearings, then on went the GPS and we got out quickly!!! As soon as we were in the van moving the boys fell asleep so we delayed lunch until they woke up, so I drove through Barrie to the horseshoe valley, where we pulled off and made a quick change where I settled in the back with the boys and mom drove. I fed the boys while sitting on a cooler, and unbuckled the boys to change their butts, very awkward!!! but necessary. Lucas ate almost a whole bowl of soup by himself where Nicholas wasn't interested!! So the time kinda blew by and before I knew it we were at the Parry Sound exchanges. I climbed back to the front and settled myself while the boys did the same, not very well but they did. Then we were finally on 17 again and it felt like home, even though we were still a couple hours away. When we got past Sudbury going through Narin, there just has to be an accident but traffic was still moving, it was a school bus in the ditch looked kinda like the front axle fell off.
After that we were on our way to the Island, and we made it at 700pm. We get to my aunt and uncles got the stuff we need for Country fest and walked down to low island for the event. Tara Oram was just finishing up her set when we got to our seats. Lucas went straight to daddy and Nicholas was next as Daddy was missing his boys too. We watched Dean Brody, once he was done we went for a little walk around and we got back to our seats and the boys settled in the extremely loud music and slept right through Jason McCoy's show. Not really sure how or why they slept but they did!!! This show was really great!!!
We went back to my parents house for the night and then back to Little Current in the morning to visit and unpack the van to the truck. Then it was time for Country fest again. The whole day was great just really hot, so we found a little place in the shade and really stayed there until Crystal Shawanda went up on stage. After her amazing performance we went for a little walk and got back just in time for George Canyon to go on. At this point the boys were really tired so I changed their butts and cloths and they had a bottle and a cuddle and again fell asleep in the loudest music, they didn't wake up until they were moved to put in the truck when it was time to go home at like midnight. George Canyon's show was great, we saw him 2 years ago in the pouring rain and it was a running joke, but this year he was eating bugs!! I guess in this case bugs are better then rain!!
Well we came all the way home after the show as the boy's aunt and uncle were here and wanted to see them, after not seeing them since Easter. So we waited until they were awake to go visiting, short visit but good. They boys had a quick lunch and we all were laying down by 230pm for another nap!! They Kinda caught up now, today was a normal day for naps and so on. But our nice little routine is going to be disrupted as tomorrow is my last day of mat leave and the boys are in day care all day!!
So I'm just happy these few little things are done with now just 5 weeks of work, and 2 weddings to go to before Lucas' surgery, I'm already counting down the days 'till we're on the other side of this long journey!!

Travel to Toronto and CT
I know its been a while since I posted but not too bad!! Just getting home at 2am this morning from a long week and great weekend.
Tuesday night my lovely husband brought me and my boys to meet my dad, so that I could get to their house before me and my mother traveled to Toronto. Wednesday morning we left around 7:45am, to miss the bridge and so the stores in Sudbury were open. We stopped at wal-mart and cost-co so we could get some much needed diapers, formula, wipes, etc. then we were off to Toronto!!
We made another stop in Parry Sound for lunch before we continued on our way!! The boys did great slept off and on and were happy for the most part!!
We got into Toronto about 5pm and made our way down town. If you ever need to make a left hand turn in Toronto don't because between 7am and 7pm its apparently illegal on most streets!! frustrating as hell!! correction it is hell!! but after driving around then parking and looking at the map and where I need to be I finally found the hotel, but needed to make a Lt hand turn, ahhhhhhhhh!!!
So on a whim after thinking I'm on the wrong street, I make a rt so that I can find a place to park and look at the map again, and what do I see? The sign DELTA CHELSEA right in front of me, we got to the hotel, yeah!!! how we did that, I still don't know, but we were there!! I go in and find out how to get to the parking lot, we go park, then go and check in.
Twelveth floor up and 3 levels down!! We had to take the "green" elevators to the 12th floor where our room was and we had a balcony and a beautiful view of cranes and construction building condos, not the best I know but the boys loved watching the cranes moving!! So getting the luggage was a chore too, we ended up being on the 3rd level down, and so hot down there, not fun!!
later that night, after we got some food in our bellies, we found the pool and let the boys have a little swim. A little nervous at first then they perked right up and joined in will all the splashing and noise!! They fell asleep fast after this!
Through the night I had to watch the clock and make sure Lucas didn't have any formula past 2am, we cut it close 1:50, but only a couple sips of water at like 4am to get him to settle again!! Nicholas was up at 530 that morning, so I let him play before getting Lucas up. I didn't wake Lucas until just before we were ready to leave, so that he didn't get angry and ask for a bottle!!
We got to the hospital and found our way to the CT department and, I love being the 1st appointment of the day, got registered and seen the nurse, then it was a little play and off for the CT scan. Then when he came back I was with him, and they had to put him right out!! I mean IV and right out, 3 different medications. Midazolam, nitrous oxide, and propofol!! My little nosy Lucas wouldn't lay still with just the first 2!! So he woke up exactly an hour after he was given the medication and that afternoon, my mom and I laughed so much with him being so goofy, he seemed really hyper once we got back to the room, then he was a little wobbly as well and kept on falling over when he was sitting on the bed, my baby boy was DRUNK!!! It was so cutie and funny to watch.
He also seemed to have the "munchies" just because the way we would eat a cookie or a mum mum and then the way he ate at supper, just a silly little boy!!!
We again found the pool that night, and they just loved it, wouldn't stop moving and because of that fell asleep quickly that night too!!

What is going on in Toronto in September???
So I'm calling to hotels in Toronto and I'm now officially frustrated and sad and angry, and so many other emotions, that I either can't get a discounted rate or I can't even get a room for the few nights. When I finally get a room at an ok price, when I get the e-mail notification it was for AUGUST. August when I'm calling to get prices on rooms for SEPTEMBER, like common!! Now for September they are "over booked" so I can't even make a reservation!!
What the hell do I have to do, rob a bank because if I book a room at regular price I'm gonna have to pay an arm and a leg, just to stay 3 night let alone the week we are looking at staying for Lucas surgery!!
What the Hell do I do now!! Take the one bedroom suite that is only 159 for one night and 359 the other 2 nights or do I go with the 259 per night room. I can honestly say if Lucas wasn't having surgery I wouldn't be staying in down town Toronto!! I wish I had family there!! Just one more thing to add to all the stress I have in the next 6 weeks!!

Lucas CT on Thursday
Today I'm finishing my laundry and packing for my long trip. Tomorrow I will finish packing and travel to my parents house on Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada. Then on Wednesday my boys, my mom and I will all pack it in the van and travel the big highways to the big city of Toronto, where on Thursday Lucas will under go a CT scan and Friday he will have appointments for his eyes and pre-anesthesia and pre-op appointment with his surgeon. I'm just hoping everyone will co-operate with the 6 hour long ride!!
Along with going to Toronto the heat is suppose to be horrible and I think the only saving grace will be the pool at the hotel, I just hope Lucas will like it!! He has a tendency not to like water. Nicholas on the other hand has a blast in the water. So here's hoping!!
Tomorrow is also the first day of day care for the boys too, so that I can get packing, and get them use to going as I'm back to work next week :( boo to that, but I guess we will see how it goes!!! I think they will be ok!! Ok I HOPE they will be ok there!!
I will let you know how the CT goes some time next week!!
