Closer to Florida

We are getting closer to Florida and we believe it might even happen :) We are always a bit reserved when it comes to making any big plans. This is the biggest thing we've done since the twins have been born (besides spending 6 months at Spectrum or the "spa." :) I'm slowly trying to find summer clothes and get organized.
Steve and Brooke went to clinic this week. They had started her on a new med 2 weeks ago called Mepron. It was to replace Pentam (an IV they gave monthly to prevent PCP pneumonia which she had before.) The alternative to Pentam and Mepron is Bactrim which she is allergic to, and she tends to get headaches and be uncomfortable after pentam. Long story :) She got a rash 2 days after starting the new med. Being the good parents we are, we thought we'd just "watch it." It's only a rash, right? Well, the MD didn't think so and she's back on the monthly IV. So Steve had kind of a long visit with that. But her rash is gone :) go figure. There is really no good answer, so they'll just use the med that they think works best and makes her least uncomfortable. Other than that she's getting stronger and smarter.
I was home with Macy Monday because she was sick and Macy was LOST! She's not use to being alone. She brought me her shoes and yelled, "LET'S GO." I am amazed at how twins can be SOOO different. Not just medically but personality. It's a riot!
I've been asked many times, "when do you get alone time." :) Ashley told me the other day, "hey mom, if you want alone time you shouldn't have had kids." Then she smiled with a naughty smirk on her face. I get alone time like anyone else, I steal it :) I work, so I'm in the car alone, I get groceries alone and my kids go to bed at 8-9pm. So I have til midnight with Steve. We go out to eat with friends. It's not as bad as it might look. 5 kids are a blessing. When people decide to have kids, they decide they don't want to be alone. (I must have been really lonely :) If there is no one home, I am LOST! Just like Macy. I do remind my girls often, I will be old one day, and they will take care and dress me :)
Brooke's back at clinic next week and then we hope to get her on every other week visits.
