Steve's Penn appt

So steve had his Penn appt yesterday at the Penn Lung Center and the drs there seem to have a better idear(did that for steve)! a better idea of what is going on with him. They think that it is being caused by exposure to mold at his office. The office has flooded a few times and steve said that it smells musty there. they have seen alot more cases like his then his pulmo dr has. they want him to take 4-6 weeks off to see if things get better. He just found out today that his boss is going to let him work from home for the month of june, which is GREAT news! i was a little nervous about him taking an unpaid leave for that long, but his health is more important and i am sure we would have managed. Now i am trying to track down his lung biopsy slides, neither the lung center or his pulmo dr have the slides. they were sent to the lung center in january and were signed by someone at the front desk but they went to the wrong place. now UPS has to try and track the package to see if they can find them, very frustrating. hopefully he will be off the prednisone soon and start taking an anti mold medicine? not sure what he'll take but hopefully it will actually improve his lung function. he goes again in 8 weeks so i will keep ya posted.

Max's B-day party

Well we had max's party on saturday and it went pretty well. I picked up the cake on friday and he was with me so when we got home he got out a fork and was ready to eat some cake! He loves the fire house toy that we got him and our friends got him a dinosaur folding chair, which we will take with us on our camping trip next month. The weather was really nice and the kids all ran under max's fire hydrant sprinkler. He was very excited when it was cake time and he ate most of it. I am going to try to add some photos so hopefully it will work.

Blog title

Ok, i will title them from now on, i didn't really notice that. Mom the CCIE is a Cisco Certification, it is extremely had to get and involves ALOT of studying. there aren't that many people in the world who own this certification.

I just wanted to mention how proud i am of the fact that Steve passed his first CCIE test! It was a VERY hard test and he has been working 16hr days and then coming home at night to study. His next goal is to pass the lab which is an 8hr test and costs 1400 just for the test so hopefully he will pass on the first try.

Yeah mom you are right i do have the gift of gab, although i am not sure steve sees it as a "gift" persay but anyway, sydney is marching in a parade tommorrow morning with her cheer squad to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Downingtown, PA. Then on sunday Maegan is going to a birthday party at Bounce U which all kids love to go to. Next weekend we are having a birthday party for Max with some friends of ours since max has no friends yet. It is a pretty busy month for us since school gets out in june they always have alot of school activities for the parents to go to at this time of year. Sydney had a field trip last weekend to the Hershey factory for a tour and she was SOOOOO excited but when they got there the power had been out all night and they still were trying to get it back on. So they decided to go to the Hershey Zoo instead and syd said it was a complete bore! The first thing she said when she got off the bus was "i had a horrible day"! Maegan had alot of fun on her trip to High School Musical, they chartered huge tour busses which was a big surprise because we figured they would use school busses. She bought alot of candy at the candy and nut shop that they stopped at and even shared with her sister and brother. Oh well, just got off the treadmill and i am done sweating so time to hit the showers!

My sister has convinced me to start blogging and since i enjoy reading her and bob's blogs i decided to give it a try. not much going on right now so more later!
