I Knew He'd Be the One

Last week I made my first trip to the hospital as a parent. I alway knew Christopher would be the child that made me go, I just thought it would be because he broke something, not because he was sick. He had a chest cold that turned into a touch of pnemonia and on top of that a stomach bug. The combination gave him fever which made him have a seizure. It gave me a heartattach of course. He was completely out of it after the seizure. He was admitted to the hospital and given tons of antibiotic and of course fluids and tylenol. The next day he was back to his old self and we got to go home. He really liked being waited on in the hospital and I think missed it a little when we got home. The whole thing was very scary but he's fine and that's all that matter.

It's been a while.

Well there isn't a lot of news to report in our house. Everyone has been doing well. We've had a couple of little colds but other than that we're good. The girls have been busy selling girl scout cookies, it has been an experience with two girls selling this year. Christopher feels left out of the selling and is now obsessed with when he'll be old enough to be a boy scout. My newphew Eli has been staying with us a lot lately and Christopher loves having him over, they are just two peas in a pod. Alissa has been enjoying many play dates with her best friend Abril from school. Both of the girls just got their report cards last week. Alissa is right on track or advanced for her age, they don't give real grades, Kristen has straight A's once again. We could not be more proud of them for their hard work.

This weekend Eric helped my cousin put in a garbage disposal. I got to have a nice time chatting and playing with her baby while he worked. Sunday Eric took me out for a date, lunch and a movie. We saw Inkheart. It was pretty good, not as good as I expected but enjoyable.
