I’m Back

I have computer access again!!
Quick update and I’ll be on later for more:
Jamie has pneumonia and has been advised to stay in bed for a couple of days.  Gavin was diagnosed with brochitis this morning.  Lincoln seems to be doing better after being diagnosed with Croup and Pneumonia.  Vaughn seems to have a mild cough.  [...]

This starts day 6 for Lincoln and his croup.  Jamie gave him a Nebulizer treatment last night.  I was awoken at 4:15 this morning at the sounds of his “seal-bark” cough.  When I went to take him out of his bed to lay with us (for the 5th time in the past 6 days), I was [...]

Kisses and Ice Cream

I do very strange things sometimes.  I have a list a mile long of things I need to get done.  Our house is so bad that I am just not sure where to begin.  I came home after Lucy’s program with a bundle of energy to burn.  I decide to start in the basement.  THE [...]

The Sick Child…

is Lincoln.  He has croop.  Took him to Urgent Care Saturday morning because he had a temperature, a barking cough, and was wheezing and having trouble breathing.  The Physicians Assistant looked at him.  Asked some questions.  Then said she’d be back after she looked some stuff up.  She came back with Croop.  Tylenol and lots of [...]

Sugar – The Cure All

Lucy:  Whine, whine, whine – “My foot hurts.”  Whine whine whine.  “Can we stop and get a donut to make my foot feel better?”
Mommy:  “Why don’t you try praying.  Maybe that will help.”
Lucy:  Pray Pray Pray.  “That didn’t help.  I’m going to need a donut.”
Daddy:  Stop to get gas.
Mommy:  Go in and get a donut.
Lucy:  [...]
