Monday Morning

Well.... home sick again. Again not me, my youngest Ali this time. We spent our Sunday morning in the ER of the closest hospital. She wasn't "right" when she got up. She was quiet( have you ever seen a quiet 2 yr old?) Not really acting like her normally bubbly self. When her lips started to look a little pale, off we went. I know my husband thought I was over reacting.... four tries at getting blood, one breathing treatment, and one chest x-ray later we find she has bacterial pneumonia. NO fever, NO cough! Just a crackle when she breathed and a high white blood cell count! She was given a heavy duty antibiotic shot to her skinny little thigh and another breathing treatment and we were on our way home. She's been in and out of the hospital since birth. Her first year of life was inside the hospital as much if not more than out of it. Her birth mom did her no favors while she was pregnant....long story. By the time she had her nap, the drugs kicked in and she was feeling much better!!! Now, she is jumping on the couch behind me and ignoring my requests to settle down please. I've had a request to watch Letter Factory.... off I go once again being bossed around by a 23 lb crazy haired girl!! I LOVE my life!!
