Hahaha! The reason I find this funny is because I am half Iranian! By the way, whoever wrote the above online test should *really* have used his spelcheker.

Did I ever tell you all just how much I like my name?

Visited Mom tonight... She looks SO much better than she did last night! Thank goodness. The steroids have really made a huge difference. She is still wheezing but slightly.Thank you all so much for your kind words via comments, IM's, and emails. You guys ROCK! {{{{Hugs}}}}

Olivia's playdate was wonderful. She and her little buddy were just SO adorable. I should have brought my camera and taken a few pictures. We ended up going back to her friend's house for lunch, which wasn't planned. But, it was so kind of her Dad to offer. Olivia really had so much fun playing with her friend. She can't wait to do it again. At least she will see her tomorrow at her BabyPower class.

I'm a Z-Lister! YAY!

I set up a playdate for Olivia today. She will be playing with one of the little girls from her Baby Power class. It should be a good time.. I hope!

I was up at the hospital most of the afternoon. I left my house around 1 and got back home about 9-ish. I have been making phone calls and doing emails for Mom and myself. Andrew and Chris, thank you so much for your emails. They really mean a lot to me. ::smile:: Mom is doing ok. Her doctor says "fair condition". She could be out in a few days. There is a slight chance of pneumonia. Not really what I wanted to hear but it could have been worse. ::knocking wood:: But, her white blood cell count it good. That's a bonus. She was NOT given the prednisone last night. It was ordered today by the pulmonologist, along with albuterol treatments via nebulizer. THIS stuff I know! Moira and Olivia have nebulizers and we do breathing treatments as needed for them. Anyway, this morning she was having tremendous coughing fits, again to the point of vomiting. Tim (my brother) was with her this morning. Mom got a dose of the steroid along with the breathing treatment and antibiotic. After I arrived, she managed to eat some Jello and sip some water. About an hour later, severe nausea hit her. The nurse gave her a shot of anti-nausea medication directly into her portocath. It worked pretty quickly, about 15 minutes. So, no vomiting today with the exception of this morning. Thank goodness. She is so weak and sore from coughing. Even walking to the bathroom (about 5 feet away) brings on more wheezing and dizziness. She had a slight fever again when I left. She pretty much told me to go home. She is exhausted.. hasn't had much sleep the past 4-5 days. She seemed a lot more comfortable when I left her this evening. I will be up there tomorrow night and Tuesday night as well. I can't get there on Wednesday since my class is starting that day. So, Tim will probably be down to take care of her on those days. :::sigh:::

I am pooped.. played with my template all night... :::yawn::: Going to bed.. Oh - if you are linking to me on your webpage, please let me know. I would love to add you to my list of reads! G'nite!

Damn! I am trying to update my blog and I can't get into my template! Grrrrrrr!

Tim called - Mom will be hospitalized for a couple days. She is taking prednisone (steroids) for the constant wheezing. This will effectively reduce any swelling she might have in her lung tissue. She has also been using a nebulizer. Her lung capacity is at 93%. Hopefully, she will be able to eat something and finally get some sleep. I will be heading up to the hospital tomorrow afternoon. Anyone wondering what's up with my Mom's health should click here and read about it.

Just heard from Tim (my brother).... Mom will be hospitalized. She has some fluid in her lungs, making her feel breathless. She has stopped vomiting since earlier this morning. She also has a very slight temp of 99.5.. I think she will be in the oncology unit.. I am waiting to hear back from Tim with more information..

Hey all - When you get a chance...could you spare a couple moments today to send some healing vibes to my Mom? She is at the ER with Dan (her partner). She might be hospitalized today. She has been throwing up since yesterday and has some God-awful sounding cough... Fuck I will post more later..

Ok - where on earth are all my comments??

According to a Chinese allegory, a mother mouse took her babies out to seek food and to teach them the ways of life. On their journey, they came across a huge chunk of cheese placed in an iron box with an open door. The baby mice were excited and wanted to rush in. But the mother mouse stopped them and sternly warned they to stay away from this box, because it was a dangerous trap. "Anyone who goes into the box will never come out alive," the mother told her children. Unfortunately, her children didn't understand the danger and began to argue with her. Finally, the mother mouse decided that the only way to teach her children about the danger would be to show them. After making sure her children remained at a safe distance, the mother walked in. As soon as she did, the door of the box shut and locked her in. The mother then took a bite of the cheese and was poisoned. With her dying breath she urged her children to leave quickly and to remember this lesson always. Wow.

It's a BOY! Congratulations to Zannie and Allan
