Happy Valentine's Day

They both had great parties at school!!

Bye JUNO!!

Hello!! To those of you who haven't heard or I haven't e-mailed you!! I have had some VERY serious technical issues with Juno. I had scanned and updated my anti-virus and it stormed over two weeks ago and when I shut down the computer, I have recieved error messages since! I cannot connect or check e-mail at all!! How weird is that?! So I call to try and recive help and I get an automated blah blah blah, after several phone calls and getting MAD I finally got a real guy in the cancellation department to talk to me so then after waiting over a week for a new Juno CD and after installing and unistalling Juno several times. Still no luck then I called the almighty technical support! Mind you I have had Juno over six years as an free e-mail and after trying others as my internet access I have always went back to what I was comfortable with. I call and they want to charge my credit card they have on file, which is Shawn's debit so it comes straight out of our checking..are you ready for how much?? $1.99 a minute!! I about fainted are you kidding me!! So after calling several numbers I found in all my computer junk I get back into the cancellation department. They offer a month free of this all "wonderful" technical support. So I call and after a FIFTY EIGHT minute conversation on the cell phone the woman was so frustrated (I could barely understand her - I could tell she was foreign and we had done so much "fixing" and nothing was still working) so anyways I tell her this is making me very upset that I have had not one but two problems in the past thirty days and I start to vent (not cussing or being rude) and can you guess what happened?? She hung up on me!! Dang it Amy!! Now i'm not just mad I'm freaking HOT!! I sat in the same spot not to lose her on my cell the entire time!! UGH!! So I dial right back and it was busy!

SO meanwhile I check on Brooke who is still up and adam!! Not to my suprise she had been in the water and had a mess in the bathroom!! YEAH as a mother I LOVE messes, NOT!! Shawn says it's job security but that's another conversation, check back!! LOL So I decide I better potty and there is no toilet paper!! I think to myself I knew I had gotten out a new roll for Cassidy that morning, I look around thinking maybe it fell or someone put in on the shelf something right! I think to myself....BROOKE! I look in the bathroom trash and to my suprise there it was soaking wet!! That kid I tell you!! So I ask what happened and she swears it wasn't her. I asked did you put it in the sink and after awhile she admits her guilt and so I put the toliet paper back on the roller to dry until morning. I'm not about to let her throw that in the trash it has become an expensive MUST HAVE!!

So back to Juno I go back to the cell phone all call again, I get a guy who is insisting I have a pin number to access the account, I have no such thin and NO ONE else had asked me for this information. After talking to three more people I finally get a woman who is willing to drop my price in half if I'll stay blah blah. I tell her that's fine but I had spent by this time two phone calls and over an hour and a half on the phone and no one can get me online at home with the software! I have a REALLY old CD that I can get online but I cannot access my address book or anything I have saved with Juno. So after a thirty nine minute conversation I ask the woman where is your call center located, ready?! The Philapenes!!! I said no wonder I cannot understand what anymone there is saying!! I have now deleted my account with them and I'm moving on!! I did set up an e-mail account but we haven't found an internet carrier just yet! So please add our new e-mail address!!

Madisynn

Madisynn is having surgery tomorrow! I ask that you still keep my three year old niece Madisynn is your prayers! She went last Friday and had her surgery to have the stitches taken out. They came out well, with the exception of one spot had to have a "tape" put on and it will fall off in ten day's or so! The eye doctor came in and good news she can stop taking the eye drops and cream. They look good!!
Today she went to see the doctor and have an x-ray of her elbow. Bad news! It has shifted and she will have to have surgery tomorrow! They will put two screws into her arm and into the bone to place the elbow in the proper place to heal correctly. She will have them in for two weeks and be in a soft cast!! She is not to be out of bed except to potty and she has to be carried there. After that the doctors say she will be in a lot of pain for the two weeks. Then if it's healed correctly she can have the surgery to have screws taken back out and then get a hard cast! Poor thing!!

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers!!

My niece Madisynn

September of 2007


My three year old niece Madisynn was involved in a car accident this past Sunday (2-4-08) in Paulding. Her mom drove off the road into some slush and she went in the ditch and hit a telephone pole on Madisynn's side right behind the door, exactly where Madisynn sat in her booster seat. The side and back window both shattered. Madisynn was in pretty bad shape when they life flighted her to Toledo. He poor lilttle face was covered in blood and you couldn't tell what was what, she had a neck brace and they knew her little arm was broken. She did open her eyes and talk to us, she was on morphine so she was pretty silly. They were able to get the glass out of her eye and there is a small ping on her eye that will need follow up treatment. She had surgery last night at 8:30 and was in about an hour and they were able to sew 11 lacerations on the right hand side of her face and they set her arm with a soft splint. Other than her belly hurt. They were saying she might be able to come home today - as of last night. We got to go back 2 by 2 to see her after surgery. She looked worse than I had remembered in the ER she had stitches all over the right hand side of her face and her little arm was all wrapped in a gauze type of cast. You could now see where each piece of glass hit her face. NO ONE at three years old should have to have this pain. Today I went up to see Madisynn and her eyes are swollen shut and her little face has swollen. Poor thing still looks like she in in lot's of pain. She is still complaining her belly hurts, other than that she lays with her eyes shut and softly sucks in her sleep. She's not talking much at all. They did a cat scan of her belly today and there is a small spot on her bladder that is causing some concern. They say it may be just a blood clot or it could be more. They were doing a ultrasound as I left today and I'm patiently waiting to hear back!! So PLEASE keep MADISYNN in your prayers!!

UPDATE!!!
Yesterday Madisynn opened her right eye but said the left one still hurt. After seeing Grandma brought her a new doll she forgot how much it hurt and opened BOTH eyes!! YEAH!! All she wanted was ketchup and french fries. Madisynn was feeling better. They did get her a sling and took her for a walk and she was able to play in the hospital's play room last night. She did have a hard time going to sleep and her eyes are still very watery and red. Today Madisynn was still saying her eyes hurt but once she was going for a walk they popped open and she was off. How funny! She was walking all over and we took her for a wagon ride and Jake & Audrey got to come and see her. She was eating well. Korina got her to eat cereal, and she ate applesauce when I was there this morning. She is able to come home tonight!! YEAH YEAH!! She does have to go back and see the eye doctor as her eyes are still very watery and red and she has to go back Monday for an x-ray of her arm then every week for five weeks. They also are taking out her stiches next week, I guess they will put her under for that!! All that matter's is she is feeling better and HOME!!

Prayers can be answered!!!
