Update and the falls.

First of all Dan is fine. The doctor did reccomend a heade transplant for both Dan & Eddie Ray. But the lyph noid swelling was traced back to a tick he had in May. It just needs to run it's course.
I took the boys to the Falls for a day of fun in the sun. Some woman walks up to us and says why didn't you bring Richard? Then turns to Eddie Ray and says I'm your Biological Cousin, it's okay. Excuse me! What if I hadn't chosen to tell Eddie Ray he was adopted. It freaked Eddie Ray out. He was glued to me. I'm glad Rick wasn't there. He has had so many issues with this. He feels so unlovable because he was adopted. He believes the only reason he was adopted was because he wasn't loved. I told him we adopted him because we love. And life gets complicated. Trying to explain that he was loved as a child just things got crazy. I wish I could take all his hurt away. The doctor said it will just take time. I hope so. I just want him to be happy inside and out. So anyway I guess I wish people would put my kids first before their own needs. And realize they are trying to move foward.

Lil Dan

Dan asked me one day Mom do you have lumps like me? Umm no... So off to the doctor we go. He said Lymph nodes are up from a cold. It's been over 6 mos. Since Dan even had a cold or anything close. The Doctor said to give it a month. So we did. Still no sign of an infection. Lyph nodes are still huge. So Thursday we go see the surgeon to see about a biopsy. It seems it's always some thing. I'm the control freak in the family, so relinquishing this duty to his Dad is bugging me. I always have to be in the know when it comes to my children. But I already promised my Dad I'd take to Iowa City for an appt. So Big Dan is taking Eddie Ray to get a Cap Thursday morning. Then Dan to the surgeon. Don't think I won't have my cell phone bugging the tar out of big Dan for updates. That's what I did when Rick had tubes in his ears. Good thing Big Dan thinks it's cute.
