Whats up with the bad Heart's

So, to start this update out, when Casey was 1 we had to take him to a heart specialist in Flagstaff and he was diagnosed with a hole in the heart between the two upper chambers. When your born, you are born with 2 upper chambers and 2 lower chambers. Casey has all 4 chambers but the 2 upper has an extra opening and usually this hole that Casey has is supposed to close its self by the time he was 4. The hole is where the chamber doesn't shut all the way allowing more blood than normal and faster than normal to travel to the heart. The doctor described it as a flap that moves back and forth allowing the blood to flow in and out. This defect is known as atrial septal defect (ASD). The condition is present from birth (congenital). Smaller atrial septal defects may close on their own during infancy or early childhood.

Large and long-standing atrial septal defects can damage your heart and lungs. An adult who has had an undetected atrial septal defect for decades may have a shortened life span from heart failure or high blood pressure in the lungs. Surgery is usually necessary to repair atrial septal defects to prevent complications.

Casey's defect was the smaller ASD and is not supposed to be too dangerous. I took Casey to the doctors a couple weeks ago and the doctor could still hear that the hole is infact still there and it shouldn't be. The Doc said no need to worry but he should still be paid close attention to. Heart problems run very highly on my dads side of the family, and only seems to affect the males. When you listen to Casey's heart you can hear the extra blood flowing, it is really cool to listen to, it sounds like an extra beat. Jared, my 4 year old was diagnosed with an abnormal heart rythem at 2 days old, he was actually still in the hispital. His bpm was only 77 which was not too much higher than my bpm, as all us moms know, new borns heart beats are supposed to be in the 100's for the first couple of years. Jared also went to the doctors when I took Casey and he still has the abnormal heart rythem and it is still only like 75 beats per minute. Jared will out grow this, but not untill he is an adult. This abnormality is not dangerous at all as long as it stays where it is and does not lower. Anthany, my 19 month old, so far does not have any heart problems like his brothers and the likley hood of him forming any now are very slim. All I have to say is thanks to the Dieterich's genitic heart problems that my 2 older boys have inherited...lol

What a CRAZY life

Where do I even begin? My mom, the strongest person I know has had many problem with her breast for the past 3 years. My mother is supposed to get mamograms done every 6 months do to the complications she has had. Every time she gets one done it always comes back with some kind of mass, Dr Greco, her doctor was always able to tell the same day it was done that there was nothing to be worried about, they were just non cancerious tissue. 1 year ago my mom had a bio done just to play safe and everything came back fine, the doc's decided she could wait 8 months in stead of 6 months for her next mamogram. My mom went in earlier this week to get another one done and everything did not come back fine. My moms mass was back and much larger, the doctors have reason to believe that it is cancer. ( Dr. Greco says it is suspecious) SO, my mom is going in for surgry on August 12th to take samples of this mass that they seem to beleve could be cancer. The doctors say not to worry yet because it could turn out to be nothing. The good thing about this unfortunate event is that if it is cancer then they caught it early. Please, Please, Please keep my mom in your prayers, I will update you all as soon as I am updated... Thanks

What a Scary Day

Today was a VERY bad day. It started with a friend telling us we owe a lot of money for a fine from when we were in Texas, the city of Killeen SUCKS. I started cleaning the house, waiting for my new phone to arrive I had to stay home so, after I cleaned I sat down to do my homework when I got a call from Brandon who was on his way home from Showlow with Aaron Blair. Brandon was in Pinedale when he and Aaron recieved a call from Kay Supply in Taylor saying the trim they needed was there so, they just turned down the dirt road and headed to Taylor. 4 miles up the road was a big dump truck speeding down the dirt washboard road, Brandon said he had to been going 60 miles an hour because all the dump truck left was a cloud of dust. Brandon and Aaron were laughing and saying they thought he was going to reck and then all the sudden Brandon heard a loud pop, swerved off the road and that is all he remembers. Brandon work up a few seconds later and his truck was in a tree. Appearently the tire on his truck blew out and for some reason Brandon blacked out. Brandon and Aaron did have their seat belts on how ever Brandon was transported to Summit Healthcare Regional Medical Center for back and neck pain, Aaron was also transported because he hit his head hard on the windsheild. The x-rays were done and Aaron only had deep bruising and will be very sore for a while, Brandon tore the muscle and tissue in his chest and back and will also be sore for a while. Today was very scary and I am so happy now that we are home. We did have full coverage so everything will be taken care of.

The craziest night, and I was sober...

Im sorry for all you who don't want to hear this but this blog is also like my diary and what I am about to say needs to come out or I won't be able to sleep. This is very random but thats ok because I have had a few family members tell me that I am very random at times... Like I said, Im sorry for the weird post.

I have had such a great night and it all started out when I came down to the valley to bring my grandma home. I decided to stay the night and visit with some family and at about midnight we put in a movie, it was me and my 13 year old cousin Trista and her 4 year old brother Joey and my boys Casey and Jared. Well I haven't been feeling good so I fell asleep soon after the movie started. At about 1:30am Trista woke me up with a damn ice cube and was freaking out because some one hacked into her myspace with a fake myspace and was posting videos of her. I got up to go look and before I could she had erased all the evidence, hmmm. I call bull crap. So as were watching the movie in the living room she see' s a red light in the back yard and starts to freak out because she thinks its the myspace hacker video taping her. I start freaking out because im a scardy cat and we started waking up the kids to go up stairs with everyone else. I was turning off the tv and dvd player and she is still freaking out, I looked at Trista and she was laughing so hard by the way we were freaking out that she starts to pee her pants. As we head up the stairs we notice that the red light is the freaking reflection off the coffee pot. WOW!!! We freaked for nothing. As I am writing all of this my cousin is about to throw up because of my burps, they taste like ass and appearently they smell like it too, Stupid throw up burps. Did I mention I don't feel too good? WOW!!! My 7 year old just asked me if when Im in the bath tub if I have ever laughed so hard that I farted, kids say the darndest thing. So my night has been very interesting and i am very tired now as I was at 1:30 in the morning when I was sleeping just fine untill all of this stupid crap. Good night.

Happy Birthday Mommy!!!

I was going through some pictures the other day and I found some of when my mom and dad moved Brandon and I to Texas. While my parents were in Texas with us we celebrated my moms 51st birthday on May 19th at Texas Roadhouse. I told our waitress that it was my moms birthday so of course my mom had to sit on the saddle and wave a white napkin over her head while they were singing and if she stopped waving it before they were done singing then they would start all over. It sure was a fun night. Happy Birthday mom I love you

Saying Good- Bye

Saying good bye is so hard especially when your saying it to your Bestie. Brandon and I moved out to Texas in April because thats where his job took him, we moved in with my BESTEST BESTIE Hollian Rickman ( her husband Brandon is in Iraq and due to come home in July) I loved living with Hollian and it sure was fun when we would go to Starbucks and get our Mocha Fraps'... So Yummy. All the coffee that was in it sure made us act strange ( like getting drunk without the alcohol...lol). We would also take really late night trips to Walmart, that was also fun. Not only did I bond with my Bestie I bonded with her daughters. Hailie is 6 and Emma is almost 4 and she loves to sing. When Emma would ask a question she would put it into a song and she also refused to finish her dinner one night because the cookie monster was looking at her through the window but it was ok because the cookie monster shared his cookies with her and the blue diamonds... so stinkin cute. Hailie and Casey would play Twilight, Hailie was Bella and Casey was Edward and the rest of the kids wanted to play so they also got to be vampires. Well Brandon decided that the job he was in was not for him so we moved back to Overgaard. We left June 7th a 6pm and made it to our destination Overgaard July 8th at 8:30 am, boy is it nice to be home. Well I just want to let you know Hollian that I appreciate everything you did for us and for opening your home to us and I love you so many.... BESTIES are FOREVER.
