Haydin and his tumor....

October 14th.
I took my lil guy back to his specialist to look at his tumor. it's called a non-ossifying fibroma. we discovered he had it earlier this year. It sits above his knee just on the inside of this right leg.
A few months back we went in and did a biopsy to determine if it was cancerous. It luckily is not. But, the doc has said it is unusual for someone of Haydin's age to have a tumor of this size. When i took him back this month we found the the tumor itself hasn't grown... but it is affecting the growth of his leg in an odd way. It has caused the leg with the tumor to grow longer than the other.
It has been four months, and in that time it has grown 6 milimeters longer. which at that rate could be a huge difference. cause back, hip and neck problems.... most people would suggest getting it out when it affects the growth. but his tumor is located up against his growth plates. So, ifthey take it out, they could mess with that as well. it's a sticky situation. hard to call. So, all we can do is wait. i take him back again in six months.. so i guess we'll go from there.

hmmm.....

Ever have those days where your just not all here?
Today is that day!!!!
I have been ever so productive at my morning job.. then i get to my second job and i am so burnt out i am just not even here anymore. So i am quitting. Tomorrow is my last day with 1-800 contacts. I am so so relieved. Yet, at the same time... i am so so sad. i have so many good friends here! I was actually really good at my sales when i applied myself. Those days are long gone though. I gave up. I am tired of working two jobs. I am ready to stick out just one and spend more time with my crazy little son!! I miss him all the time! I cannot wait for more time with him. Maybe it will help him get potty trained a little faster!
So, here is to a fork in the road. Here is to finally making a decision and putting my best foot forward to better my quality of life.
here is to a new beginning and a step in a different direction!
"the journey of a thousand ,miles begins with a single step......."
This is my first step!

starting fresh......

so a little about me?....
my name is kate. i am 21 and have a handsome little 21 month old son, Haydin Stephen Hill.
It's just the two of us and has been since haydin was 5 months old! And it couldn't be better.
I have worked Incredibly hard to get to where i am at. i have a decent ride, a decent job, A great babysitter and a strong will to move forward and create the best life i can for my son and I.
We have been through a lot since he was just a tiny little man in my belly. More heartbreak and bad luck than anyone could ever ask for. but through it all. i can say i have the best mind set i have ever had. i am in the best place with myself that i could be. Being a single parent is hard. but worth ever last minute of it. from the good times through the screaming times!!! And it makes me realize how incredibly strong i am to make it to this point and to be able to continue on. :) i am so lucky to have my son!
