Tongue Tie Release Surgery UPDATE..Not to Good

Mateo went in to have his Tongue Tie Release Surgery this morning. We were supposed to be there at 630A but didn't get into MGH til 7AM.
All went well, he went in got checked in, waited in OR Induction Room, then into OR for the Surgery, he went to recovery and thats where it all started.
In Recovery his little cheeks were red, we assumed due to his slight congestion before surgery. Well we got released and returned home about 11 AM. At 4 pm We noticed that his WHOLE face was red not just his CHEEKS. So we watched hm for a little longer. When after a few minutes we noticed he was struggling to breath, and what not. Off Juan and I went with Mateo, to the Local ER, LGH.
When we got to LGH I told the receptionist that I thought he was having an allergic reaction to either the anesthesia or the tylenol w/ codeiene he had received when in Boston Earlier that morning for surgery.
Well He got a nice shot of non-oral benedryl, right into his leg. BY THIS TIME<>

Long time, No Blog

Sorry to those who do read my blog, I am so busy. I have been taking classes since September at the Local Community college and caring for both my boys. I am taking course to be a medical biller, but the advisors suggest I change over to Associates in Business Management: HealthCare Option, because of what my plans were in my endeavors. I was originally going to take most of the classes for a certificate in Medical Billing then when I only had aclass or 2 left I would move on to Certificate in Medical Coding, then again, when almost done with that I was going to do Medical Transcription, BUT they are getting rid of the Medical Transcription at my school so thats why they suggest I switch it over to ASSBUSHEALTHMNGMNT. So I have fully completed 4 courses. They are English Comp I (a must), Basic Business Acct'g, and Medical Language I, the 4th class was just to up my speech in Spanish. This semester I am enrolled in 3 more must do course for the certificate they are Medical Language II, Computer Apps(Microsoft Office 2007) and Human Biology and this summer I will be paying out of Pocket for the Human Bio Lab and If I am correct I will be working with pigs and dissection but hopefully don't actually have to Dissect it myself with a lab partner.

In other news, Mateo is going to have a MINOR surgery on February 20th. I told his/my Doctor when he (Mateo) was 6 month old that I thought he was tongue tied, and the Dr. said we could wait until he was alittle older to see if it splits on own, well I brought it up again at his 15 month appt. The Doctor aggreed that the skin beneath his tongue was too close to the tip. He said he didn't know if they did anything for it, but I knew better my Nephew Jr. had the same problem at 1 yr 2 month and had a tongue tie release surgery done, so I called my Brother in Law Gavino for the Doctors name and number. On tuesday Feb. 1oth we drove out to Boston to see the Pedi Surgeon, he agreed that the procedure needed to be done. So He is scheduled to go in and under on Friday February 20th. They say he will be knocked out for a maximum of 5 minutes so long as nothing goes wrong, which it shouldn't since the surgery IS SO MINOR. Then an hour later we will be on the way home. So That's what's going on with me and mine.

Mateo's 1st Birthday

Well we had Mateo's first birthday on Sunday, October 19th. We had about 30 people at the house. We didn't really do any games or anything, those will come at later nirthday parties. I will however post a couple of the pics. He got a few presents...Stacking alphabet/number blocks, a infant baseball toy, $10, Nike sneakers and some small dollar store items from children.

His big cake was Diego, couldn't really plan for anything else quick enough, and he had a small chocolate cake w/ chocolate frosting for himself. We had pizza and chips......

The Big First BDAY

My baby is going to be A YEAR OLD in 13 days and it's so depressing, why does time have to fly by??? He is walking, talking, and he is quite the little climber, and he also likes to play with his big brothers kid size soccer ball(but, of course, he's mexican so FUTBOL is in his blood)...

A list of some words he says and his pronunciation real word will be in parantheses. Mama, Dada, Brara(Brother/hermano), Dio (Tio), Dayo (Teo..his name), baba (bottle), Mih (milk), Agee (Paige, his cousins name), Nigh Nigh(nite, nite). I have been working on him saying Te Amo (I Love You, in Spanish), he says the Te part. He also claps his hands when we say Yea Teo!!!! or When Dada says Bravo!!!. When he sees someone coming or going he waves, he did it today while we were walking down the street to a neighbor we don't really communicate with regularly. He is getting sooo big and I can't stand it.

Pablo, my big boy will be 4 in December and he never shuts up...He says small palabras malas(bad words) like fat ASS, SHIT pants and he says COPsucker luckily the last one isn't too bad since he deosnt say it right. He is quite the little terror though (un diablo). He is trying really hard to be out ofhis pull ups and in underwear. He now has 2 money collection jars one at home and one at his Aunt Toochie's (My sister Moochie..a nickname) He is told every time he uses the potty he will get money in them and when he fills them up he will have enough to buy his Handy Manny Truck that is like $55.00 at WalMart, so he has been doing well with it between the two houses he has like $20.00 of it already.

Tomorrow he is getting a chance to go to the Topsfield Fair in Massachusetts. It has animals, Games, Rides and Much Much more. He enjoyed Deerfield Fair last weekend so hopefully he likes Topsfield Fair. If you are not from around Massachusetts or New Hampshire these fairs are mainly Agricultural and full of Animals, more for learning than playing. But he gets to do both each time....We normally hit a third Fair too Called Rochester Fair which is in New Hampshire also, that one is the coolest one because they have Bull Riding Competitions unlike the other too, it's awesome, he really enjoys himself, but then he is a kid and he LOVVVVVVVVVVVVES ANIMALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Big Time, he does have a pet dog, her name is Luna Llena(Full Moon) and she is 75% WOLF (Lobo) and 26% Husky (un typo de perro). Thats is it for tonight Enjoy the blog. Hope to hear back from someone anyone I know on here. TTYAL (talk to you all later) Bye for NOW....Hasta luego, Adios.

Sorry, it's been over a month

I can't believe I haven't posted in over a month. Well I have been busy between mom duties and school who has time for anything else. I have been in classes for a months now, I had 1 test and turned in an essay thats a test grade......My medical language test was last week, I will find out tonight how I did. 2 weeks ago I handed in my first Essay (a test grade in English Comp), it was about a remembered event in my life...Great so many but I chose to srite about my first time giving birth, I got a B, before I handed it in two girls in my class read it, one of whom is pregnant and all she could say after reading it was I hope my delivery isn't this scary...lol Poor girl.....

Mateo has been sick, he has about 3-4 teeth all coming in right now and his birthday is 2 weeks from Friday he will finally be 1....

We went to Deerfield Fair in New Hampshire over the weekend and it was Mateo's first Fair he loved it, especially the monkeys in the zoo tent, he couldn't take his eyes off them and he got scared when we got near a Nubian Goat from Africa they are quite "tall".......

My husband might not go to Mexico as planned , he can't seem to save the amount of money he wants to in order to leave....So that I will have to update people on....

Other than that nothing special has been going on, hopefully I remember to post again soon...

4TH TOOTH

Mateo's 4th tooth came in tonight now he has the two front teeth on bottom and on top....My husband is due to leave in early to mid november for Mexico. Hopefully everything works out the way I'd like it to for myself and my kids. I will keep updateing those who know and those who care to know.

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!! and then some

Well it's been awhile since last but....Mateo got his first teeth on May 1st and May 13th..He was 6 months old....Well finally with a few days to go before he is 10 months old his 3rd tooth popped out and the 4th is following suit. I have been waiting for what seems like forever for him to have more than 2....and Finally he's got 1 more and 1 coming in SOON!!!!!!!!

As for myself, I start college classes on September 3rd. I am planning on getting a certificate in Medical Billing and as I finish classes working on 2 other certificates..same idea but all 3 mean good paychecks hopefully. The other 2 certificates are going to be Medical Coding and Medical Transcription. My first 2 classes start the 3rd they are Spanish between 1215P and 130P and then that night between 6P and 840P I will be doing Business Accounting and Bookkeeping.
my other two courses set to start that week are English Composition and Medical Language.
My sister will have her hands full 3 nights a week, she will have my 2 boys and my brothers 2 kids(ages 9 and 11) since he works at night. Then well Spring semester comes hopefully I have all day time courses.....

In other news, Juan Sr's father is sick, but not deathly that we know of and he might be planning to go into the Mexican Consulates office to get what he needs to fly from here to Mexico..since he's still illegal. But then comes the part of how or when he will get back here. Im hoping he makes me apply for a visa and doesn't choose to try and sneak back across the border...I hear all kinds of stroies lately about people having trouble applying and receiving visas if they had originally been here illegally, so Im hoping it's not too hard...But hopefully some of my dads rich friends have some pull somewhere..btw Dad has a good friend inside the Immigration Departments walls so hopefully the legal way isn't as hard for me as it has been for some. Wish me Luck with everything and I will keep whomever reads my blogs posted on the situation....Enjoy the remaining days of summer everyone they are almost over for the year...Will post agin soon
