Snow, Exploding Cups, and MIC-key Buttons

The snow as of this afternoon.

This morning started out with excitement as the children woke up realizing it was snowing outside. The snowflakes were huge and coming down hard and fast and the wind was blowing. I returned home this morning after taking Dad to work. Celidah was just leaving for school and the rest were sitting on the couch watching TV. Normally they stay asleep until they are awakened at 8:00, yet it seems Celidah decided everyone needed to be awake by 6:45.

For breakfast, I decided to make biscuits and scrambled eggs so they would leave the house having eaten something warm. Jairon was not thrilled at first because he wanted his cold cereal however; once he realized I used a pumpkin cookie cutter for the biscuits he was so excited. Getting the children ready and bundled up required extra time this morning, as we had to dig out the coats and winter boots. We have yet to get winter hats and gloves for this year. Looks like we have to get them this weekend…


The snow was beautiful to wake up to but OH so cold! I am not thrilled with the cold that the cold brings. We were curious how our cat would react. It seems that Mistoffelees thinks the flakes are fun to play with yet he does not like the cold on his feet. He is so funny.

Then this afternoon I heard this loud pop and the door on the microwave was swinging back and forth. After investigation, I discovered that Zach had placed cup with double walls (meant to be frozen NOT in the microwave) was sitting there with a huge hold sitting out the side and was still rolling. I am sure how long the cup was in the microwave, but I do know that cup will never be used again.








In between the discovery of the snow and the cup I had made several calls to Children’s concerning Chantelle and her button. It seems with this button since the change she has felt extreme pain. She will wake up screaming, screams when on her stomach, or screams if the button is bumped. The nurse in the feeding tube clinic wants us to change her button from the 1.2 to the 1.5 length. She will then have an appointment with the g-tube staff next week. If this change does not relive her pain, we will have to take her to the ER. We are now waiting for her new button to arrive from the medical supply agency.
