    Just an update on what's going on in mine and the boys' lives.I had a kidney stone removed in Wednesday morning.I was pretty scared cause I have never had general anesthesia,but once they gave me the IV, I didn't know anything til I woke up a few hours later :-D I had a kidney stone blasted with a laser. They removed the big fragments,but they left a stent in so that it could help me pass the rest of the little pieces.So I am in a lot of pain,but I should start feeling better soon. I had mentioned before in my birthday wishes post that I have a boyfriend.His name is Joe and he is a internet specialist for a fuel company and he also works part time for the Best Buy geek squad fixing computers.But, he is also a artist. He is a surrealist painter,he does pencil drawings and sculptures. He has a website with his art on it. www.jreese.it and you can click on the US flag in the top corner to translate it into English.The original webpage is in Italian.
    Also Trey got his 1st set of stitches on Labor Day.Here are a couple of pictures from the ER trip.Logan was trying to keep Trey calm.

    Well goodness gracious sakes alive...as my gramma used to say. You and Trey have had a rough few weeks. Hope you both are doing much better soon, course Trey now has a battle scar to show off to his friends. ;)

    Your new boy friend looks like a really nice guy and seems to like your boys and visa versa, which important to single Moms. He has a cute niece too.

    Oh, my! I wish a dull, eventless winter for you and your family, since it seems you've had enough excitement to last you for a while. *hug* Joe looks like a very nice chap. May you be happy together.

    Oh dear Heather...you sure have had a rough few weeks! It looks like Trey was a brave patient. I can't believe how big your boys have gotten...where does the time go?

    Thank goodness your surgery is now behind you Heather. I'm sure you'll soon be feeling much better once the remaining fragments of kidney stone pass through your system. I'm glad you have a lovely chap like Joe to help look after you and the boys. Say 'hi' to him from us all won't you? :-D
    Trey has been such a brave little lad having to get his first stitches. Let's hope they are the last though for many years to come.
    Take care of yourselves .... and Heather try to rest as much as you can after your operation.
