Miss A: Another Update

We've officially started antiobiotic injections. Definitely not fun for a 3-year-old. The doctor must do these injections because of the type of medicine that has to be administered. The nurse had to hold down her legs, I had to hold her arms and her chest and she screamed like heck! It's definitely sad to see your little one go through things like this.

We went to Target after the big experience and I let her pick out anything she wanted in the store. We passed the barbies, the princesses, the dolls. What did she pick? A book. She said, "Mom, I want a book." I asked her to look around and find any book she wanted. She selected, "Olivia and her Two Babies." How cute! :)

Then, we relived the entire "shot" experience later before bed as bath time was upon us and she saw the bandaids again. She hates bandaids to begin with (I know, what little kid doesn't like bandaids) and she told me I can never take them off! Wait until she has a collection of 3 on her little legs.

We have another injection today and then another round on Friday. On Friday the doctor will reassess to determine if we have any next steps/action plans. Fingers crossed and praying!

The Goats Are In Town

Remember last year when the goats were in town? Well ... THEY ARE BACK! In fact, they are in our backyard (almost). Our little area of our subdivision backs up to a wild life area and the goats are grazing in our part of the ravine. We visited them two times today. It was a great way to enjoy the warm weather and beat that nasty fever Miss A has right now. She needed the fresh air just as much as I did.

Miss A: Update

We're back to the doctor again tomorrow. I'm afraid we have injections and possibly ENT ahead of us. Fever was back up to 100'F today; however, they couldn't fit us into the schedule today. Here we go again!

A New Doll!

Miss O received a package from a college friends' family. Miss A has the same doll. They are absolutely adorable!!!

When Miss A helped open the package and saw the doll, she immediately ran upstairs to her bedroom to get her matching doll. Matching dolls for sisters - how incredibly special! Or, at least to a three-year-old, it's pretty cool!



And the best part of this picture ... the huge hairbow! Bows actually stay in Miss O's hair these days. I don't even need a headband because she has so much hair!

I'm EXHAUSTED

As I mentioned, yesterday Miss A STILL HAD A FEVER. I'm tired, I'm exhausted and my hubby has been working incredibly long hours, days and nights. Most days he's working 26 hours days ... if that's even possible.

Here's a picture the Iron Chef snapped of me. It's exactly how I feel. I look like crud in this picture. I've showered, but that's about all. Both girls want to be held, and this day was especially bad with Miss O needing a lot of attention, which set Miss A off on a whole new level of tantrums. Poor thing!

I just don't have enough hands these days!
