Hope Your Christmas was as wonderful as it was for our house! Good food, family and friends. My Children were SURPRISED by Grandma and Grandpa Drezek with a new member to our family. They got a 9 week old Shih-Poo (shih tzu poodle mix). He is white with a brown mask and a touch of black mixed in. Very sweet pup that LOVES to be held. Good thing too cause my kids want to HOLD HIM ALL THE TIME. We have to set the timer to take turns. It will wear off soon I am sure, then I will be doing all the work!!!!!
2008 Christmas will be one to remember for my Kiddo's!!!!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of our Family and Friends.
An update for Faye is that she had a blood transfusion on Sat the 13th. She had been doing great and her counts were down to 13 or 14. She took a turn on Mon or Tues and her counts are back up to 22 again. I think they are checking to see where the infection in again. Will update as we find out more!!

Faye Update at 3:11 PM Friday
Well there is NO staph infection which is very good. Her white counts did not move over night, which is good in the sense they did not go up. She has C diffiicile colitis, which is VERY contagious. If you visit you have to wear a gown and gloves and you can not touch her with an unprotected area of your body. At this point they are giving her 3 different Antibiotics to see if she can fight it. One complication could be that her colon is inflamed and could perforate, which at that point she becomes septic. Once you have this you are very susceptible to it coming back.
I will update as more becomes available.

About Faye (Dan's Mom)
Well there is lots going on in our lives but the biggest is Dan's Mom.......................................
She was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday with a stomach bug, severe dehydration, and mini strokes..............boy what a change 2 days makes.......................
They did a c-scan on her abdomen and pelvis today (Thurs) and also thought she had a staph infection.
Turns out her colon is infected and severely swollen. They are trying an antibiotic but does not look promising (she has been on antibiotics since Tues). They are going to take her blood counts in the morning but if they continue to rise like they have been there are 2 choices:
1st is leave it and continue to treat with antibiotics, if continues on the same path that would mean she will become septic and probably not make it through a week.
2nd is surgery…. This is very complicated due to her health. If she can make it though it she would most likely be in ICU for weeks to months given her health. Do to the fact she is on steroids for her breathing (it makes it harder and longer for healing process) that will make the healing process even worse. Also, she will most likely be put on a ventilator and then have to be weaned off (which would also be a long hard process for her). Not to mention that after all of this her life expectancy would only be 6mos to a year at best. In the surgery they would remove her colon; she will have a bag and run lots of risks of dehydration and infections.
Dan and Jim were with her tonight and she does not want surgery. The family does not want her to go through all of that.
Everyone agrees that she will not have the surgery.
We will know Friday about the blood counts so it is now just a waiting game.
The family is just praying that the Good Lord does what ever his will is but with out a lot of pain and suffering.
I will keep you posted.

Great Thanksgiving weekend!
What a great weekend it was....
We started Wednesday with the day off work and school (well the kids and i did, Dan had to work Wed) I watched 5 great kids that day and enjoyed it a lot. Wednesday night Bailey had her first Thanksgiving Tournament game. They won some crazy number (the boards stopped counting) and some of our team friends came back to the house for pizza and good company.
Thursday was a great day............. Relaxing morning, followed by a great meal at Mom and Dad's, followed by online shopping with my soon to be sister in law.
Friday started just a few hours after that at 3:45 am. UP AND AT EM to Wal mart, Target, and then Toys R Us. Great deals. but still more to go.
Had to leave the shopping scene to watch Bailey's 2nd game in the tournament. They won that game some crazy number also. I got to catch a great nap then we took Danny and Emily to see "Bolt" and then went to watch the older Bino's teams.
Saturday was a crazy early game. 7am- WOW but they won again (some crazy number) and we are now off to the FINALS.
Saturday was a great lazy day. We went to breakfast after the game, took a nap and watched movies. Love these kind of weekends.
Today we have Bailey's game at 6pm and some running i need to do but other than that just enjoying our 1st snow fall of the season!!!!!!
Hope your Thanksgiving weekend was as enjoyable as ours was.

You know you are getting old when...............
Well after a night of friends stopping by to check out the TUBS of scrapbooking stuff that Lesa brought over. Major Craziness began on Saturday morning at 9 am.
Off to get 3 birthday gifts then games galore!!
So 1st Birthday party was Saturday morning, followed by and overlap of Emilys game which she scored 2 goals. Then jump in the car to pick up Carly and head to Bailey's game, which they won 3-1 with Carly scoring the game winning goal (they were tied 1-1 most of the game, up till the very end). Followed by a RUN AND JUMP to the car for Danny's game which they won and Danny made an assist in that game! We then RAN to get everyone packed up. Bailey had a sleepover Birthday party, and Danny and Emily had a night at Grandma and Grandpa's. WHOO HOO mom and dad get a night out! (yeah only wish it was that exciting)
We were so tired from all the running of the day that we went to dinner and home on the couch to watch a show that we did not even make it though all the way without falling asleep!!!! We are sad!
Anyway, we finished the weekend with Bailey having another game and all 3 kids having a birthday party they went to at Pump It Up.
Boy are we tired and going to bed early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
