Post Spring Break Realignment

Okay, so spring break is officially over and it's back to the ole grind.

Both the girls have had this runny nose and sneezing stuff thanks to the sudden onset of warmer weather and pollen.  Abbie's tubes have been draining this green goo that looks a lot like snot.  It's gross to say the least, but at least we aren't on antibiotics for an ear infection. 

Everybody went back to school today, we'll see how it went this afternoon... Sleep is becoming harder the closer it gets to June. 

Not much planned for this week except a meeting on Friday.  Can't believe March is almost over.  Maggie keeps asking everyday when we are riding the choo-choo train.  Got her a calendar with the days numbered so we can mark them off each day. 

Planted some strawberries yesterday and had our first meal of the "summer" outside.

Delayed

Sorry, I know I haven't written anything in a while, but life has been to say the least, busy.

Abbie was released from the hospital on the 28th and we saw Dr. Boldon again on the 8th.  Still has a sinus infection, still on antibiotics.  Hopefully through with the medication on the 19th.  He said that if she gets the stomach virus again in the next 3 months, he will test her for an immune deficiency.  Right now, she and her sister are camped out at the grandparent's house during spring break. 

Maggie has a runny green nose, but that's nothing new for her.  She is so excited that she and Abbie are going to the dentist on Wednesday.  Strange, I know, but my children love to see the dentist. 

Bowen (Brooke's little boy) that was born with club foot on both sides, is having surgery today.  They have already had numerous surgeries and braces and casts.  But the last time they went to LeBohneur (?), the doctors told Brooke they would have to start all over.  This time they will put him back in the hard casts for a while.  Poor little fellow, he has really been through a lot. 

Got the tickets for the train and the hotel reservations for New Orleans.  Maggie is so excited to ride the train to see the animals at the zoo and the goldfish.  I hope that the trip lives up to her expectations.  We are going Easter weekend with Mom and the grandparents.  Abbie is going too.

Otherwise, people are trying to convince me that what we are going through right now is not what is correct and that I am wrong in doing this.  I wish that if people were going to give their advice, that they would consider the entire situation and not just what they have heard or been told.  I am doing what I think is best for myself and my girls.  I know that it will not please everyone, however, using religious piety and condemnation are not the best way to convince anyone that they are wrong. 

Enough with this, today is Amelia's birthday and I have a birthday dinner to attend.

Everybody Home

Abbie got out of the hospital Monday night still having diarrhea and after a bag of rocephin just in case.  Her stomach has still not been right and today was her first day back at daycare in a week. 

Maggie is doing great.  No one seems to have caught the stomach bug but Mamaw.  But on Tuesday night, I got up to get Abbie (she was crying) and kicked the door facing to her room.  I broke my little toe on my left foot. 

This has been the craziest last week that I can remember.  Headed to Starkville to the OB today for my glucose test and then to Columbus to spend the night before heading to Macon in the morning to see patients.

It is Josh's weekend for the girls, but he informed me yesterday that he did not have a vehicle.  Mom is going to watch them until I can get home tomorrow. 

Plans to plant strawberries tomorrow afternoon, I'm sure the girls will enjoy playing in the potting soil!
