John has been sick since the day we had Emily – he finally went to the doctor today and has a sinus infection and had to have both tubes replaced in his ears, one was infected and the other had slipped out and there was something wrong with it. Charlie had a cold when we first came home, I have been back to the doctors everyday to have Emily’s blood work done for her billi levels. When we are home she is attached to a machine and can only move 3 feet from it so we spend most of the time with her up in my bedroom next to the bassinet. Today Annie started crying when she went to the bathroom and finally got her to tell me after her telling me she couldn’t go to the bathroom for 2 days (she had me convinced she was just constipated) but that it was actually when she peed that it hurt – poor thing! I knew right away she had a UTI and we just needed to get antibiotics for it so I was able to have the pediatrician order a urinalysis to be done at the same time I took Emily in for her labs.
So when it was time to head into town for Emily & Annie to go to the lab I had no fight left in me and just let Audrey wear what she wanted to Kaiser...
Yes, she wore a green velvet with furry trim dress, sneakers with no socks and A witches hat to Kaiser. As we walked in I could see and hear the other mom's laughing and smiling at us, I just held my head up and acted like I had no idea why anyone would be looking at us.
But on the good news front, Emily's billi level went down today so we don't have to use the blanket anymore and we don't have to go to the doctors again until Friday. Annie did have a UTI but we were able to get her antibiotics and she will feel good as new soon! Also, John got medicine so he will be on the road to recovery and no one else has come down with Charlie's cold so really in the grand scheme of life it isn't a big deal to have a 3-year - old Christmas Witch ~ Really she is adorable!
