SO SO SORE!!

Okay, so, I'm really not good at keeping up with my blog consistantly, but I'm finally going to post all of the news from the Lacy Family!

It has been a crazy few weeks! I guess I should start with Trevor.....Yes, he is still alive! All of his lab work came back fine. Dr. Sawyer said it might have just been teeth and suggested motrin/tylenol every four hours. So, we did that regime for a few days and had good results. After about 3 days, all symptoms of anything being wrong went away and he is now back to his fun loving self! Yay!!

As for me, I'm officially in "Rookie School!" I started the police academy on the 20th. So far so good. It is hard, but so so interesting. The most challenging for me so far is the PT. I feel like my muscles are screaming right now. We did our physical assessment on Monday and I have hardly been able to walk since! We did push-ups, sit-ups, 300meter run, 1 1/2 mile run, vertical jump and sit and reach. I am for sure not in shape, but didn't fare to badly in the running. I have to shave just under a minute off of my 1 1/2 mile, and met the qualifications in the 300meter run. But, the way I look at it, I have 15 weeks to take that minute off which really shouldn't be hard!! I'm really not so worried about the running, it's more the push-ups and sit-ups! (It is really amazing how two kids can make abdominal muscles non existant) The classes are the fun part for me though. They cram as much information as they can, but it is fun course material. We have 2 or more tests a week....and it is required that we maintain an 80% average or we get put on academic probation. So far so good in that area. The instructor's have really done a great job of presenting the material in ways that make it fun and interesting. Today we had the district attorney come and speak on burden of proof. Very fun stuff....

Anyway, that is really all on that subject....

The kiddo's have been at Granny's house a few days a week. Keaton has dubbed it "Camp Granny" and couldn't be more happy to be there! They have a blast. Keaton has loved painting with some art supplies that Granny got him and Trevor spends ALL of his time out side playing in the little swimming pool she has out there for them. They both also love tormenting the poor dogs that my Granny has!! When they are with Granny, I talk to them frequently and Keaton is always way to busy for Mommy, but my Trevor man always says hi, but then promptly says "play, Mommy, I love you. Bye Mommy!" The toughest part of the academy is missing my time with my little guys!!
That is all of the news from here....I hope all is well out there in the blogger world!!

Lab Work....Uggghhhh!

So, I did take Trevor in to the Dr.'s office today, which turned into an all morning event! He does not have an ear infection, but Dr. Sawyer saw the way he was acting and also thought something MUST be wrong. He just really isn't himself! I have never had him act this way and I really do not think it is behavioral and from Dr. Sawyer's reaction he obviously didn't either. He sent us over to the Lab for all kinds of work......yuck! However if there is something really wrong I would rather know now than later.
They took a urine sample, a stomach x-ray and drew blood. Needless to say I think my child will be terrified of any person in scrubs for the rest of his life! I'll have to admit I'm not their biggest fan today either. I know they are just doing their job and they did it very efficiently so I really have nothing to complain about except it is so hard to hold my baby down while they are poking and prodding and imaging! Here Trevor thinks I am supposed to be his protector and I'm aiding and abetting(Sp) these "mean" people.....
Keaton was an absolute doll through it all though. The whole time they were taking Trevor's blood and Trevor was screaming, Keaton was sitting beside us saying over and over, "It's okay Trevor, You're okay!" He had the most concerned expression on his little face and was trying to be such a comfort to Trevor! I love that he has that heart!
We were supposed to have a baby-sitter tonight, as Michael's and my schedules overlapped, but I ended up taking off of work to be at home with Trevor boy. I just couldn't leave him with a baby-sitter tonight. I felt I needed to be here to assure him his little world is safe.
The Dr.'s office did call to let me know that his stomach x-ray and urine sample both came up clear of anything wrong. So, now it's waiting for the blood work to come back.
Now, I feel like a chump because it's looking like nothing is wrong and I wasted time and money.....I hate that feeling! However, I keep telling myself it's better to be safe rather than sorry!
Well, I hope to report good news on his blood work tomorrow!

Yay, I'm so excited. One more step closer to the Academy! I went and took my entrance exam today and passed, so I now only have to take my physical and oral boards. I am so excited.....

In other news, Keaton and Trevor are constantly fighting and I have no clue how to handle it. I know that they love each other, they just do not show it nearly as often as I would like. Keaton hits Trevor for no apparent reason and then, to get back, Trevor runs over and takes whatever toy is Keaton's most prized possession for that ten minutes and runs as hard and fast as he can! That is what makes up our entire day!! To top it off, I really don't think Trevor is feeling very well. He keeps crying randomly and is so clingy right now. He is usually so easy and happy go lucky. Right now he doesn't have much of an appetite and isn't sleeping well at all! I think it may be an ear infection. I will probably be calling the Dr.'s office in the morning to see if they can check him out.

Well, that's all of the news for now. I hope everybody has a great week!
