Muffins with Mom

 

This morning was Muffins with Mom @ Hinsdale.  It was originally scheduled 2 weeks ago, the day after the big snow storm but school was cancelled & so was Muffins with Mom.  We all got up extra early this morning to be at school by 7:30.  The kids did really well, especially after going to bed so late last night.  Practice has started for soccer & baseball so early bed times will be obsolete for a few months.  Probably up until schools out for the year! 

 

We had Sammie last night, so Jeni met us at the school & Sam went off with her Mom.  The kids & I went through the line where some of the Dads were working.  Dennis (Evie's Dad) & Hayes (our neighbor).  They had pre-wrapped muffins & honey buns, fruit & juice.  We each got a muffin & found a table to sit and eat. 

 

 

 

After we were done eating, I walked the kids over to a pod where they had a movie playing until school started.  I had a few appointments at St. Elizabeth at 9:00 so I headed over there.  I have been having issues with my throat for years & finally saw an ENT who scheduled a Thyroid Ultrasound & a Barium Swallow.  The Ultrasound went well, but the tech said that she did see a few nodules, hopefully benign.  The swallow on the other hand was disgusting!  I had to drink several different liquids & they watched the liquid go down to my stomach to make sure there were no blockages.  At the end, all of the barium was in my stomach & they had me take a few drinks of water.  When the water went down, you could see the barium jump right back up into my esophagus.  I obviously have reflux, so now we just have to find a way to treat it.  I should be getting results back from my Dr. on both tests by Friday or early next week. 

Tonight Hank has his first baseball practice at the Batting Cages with his team & Sam has soccer practice.  Games start this weekend for soccer & we're pumped.  Let's home for warm enough weather!
