By Popular Demand… Schmidt Easter – with ALL my kids!

Posted by Amber On March - 30 - 2008



Yes… contrary to popular belief… I do have THREE kids. Ky’s medical needs have been so time consuming over the past year and half that we have had very little time to spend with our boys. My only solace in this is that they are too young to remember all this. I am sure that I have damaged them but hey… who isn’t damaged…

Ky was not feeling well on Easter day (since it was less than a week post op) so we waited until Thursday to celebrate Easter. My mother is one of the most creative people I know… she always has the BEST Easter baskets! Even growing up I can remember all the really cool things that we did for Easter! I am so glad that my parents are around and still young enough to enjoy the holidays with my kids. Because we only live 20 minutes across town its been a welcome help to us that both of our sets of parents are in the same city with us. Its a huge blessing.


The boys had lots of fun hunting eggs… Ky was not amused. She seemed perplexed by the whole concept! LOL She was more interested in carrying around her one little package of green peeps. She didn’t want to EAT them… she spit them out when we put a bite in her mouth, she just wanted to carry them around. Owen was being a typical 5 year old… feeling the needs to dominate the egg hunt and having a subsequent meltdown when we told he HAD to leave some eggs for Ross. Ross was just thrilled by the concept of it all and was giddy giggling the entire time!

As for the question of the day.. “How’s Ky today?” Well the sigh of relief was short lived. She is puking again. Volume puking. But the thing that is interesting about this time…she is NOT backed up… not constipated… so this puking is ALL the stupid intestines and colon blowing up. We should have known better than to try and get out of using Flagyl after the surgery antibiotics… but oh well. Hopefully we will give her a week run of antibiotics, some extra fluids today, slow down on the feeds and that will get us back in check. As of right now she is refusing food altogether but I am sure its because she doesn’t feel good. So… another day… another issue. At least this one is just the SOS… so we know how to deal!! LOL
