Seriously. We've all been sick- for a long time. Not all at once- thank god- but all sick nonetheless. But Chris has finally won the crown and been diagnosed with the flu. Such a prize to win. He's NASTY. In case you yearn for details... he's barfing, high fever, sore throat, nasty/glazy red eyes and just a bad case of malaise. I'm pretty sure that if he met his maker today he would be OK with it.
Grant has had a lot of upper respiratory problems (aka asthma). Kendal's had snot, fever, chest gunk. And let's just say Chris and I have battled for the toilet a lot lately.... I went to the Dr. on Wednesday sure I had strep or the flu, but both came back negative. I was put on an antibiotic and it cleared up whatever I had.
And to top it all off- we're having a garage sale tomorrow! Maybe the proceeds can go to covering our Rx expenditures....
I have new videos of the kids I'll post soon. Here's to your health! :)

Sick-O-Rama 2008

::::: First post of 2008 :::::
Hmmmm- what has happened since I last wrote. LOTS!
Grant turned 4!: We had his birthday party at ASI Gymnastics with about 20 of his friends. The kids ran around, jumped, bounced & flipped for an hour and then we had Shrek cake and ice cream. Grant really enjoyed it- although, he still isn't sure about turning 4. So if you ask him how old he is, he usually says 3 or 5. Apparently being 4 has lots of added pressure.
December: Grant made his first trip to the Emergency Room. (Well really it's the 2nd, but I got mad at how long we had to wait and left before we were seen. It was just a split lip...) Anyways, Grant had a very bad cold. He had RSV and a baby and tends to cough when he is sick. Well, he had a cough- one that he couldn't shake. He was trying to fall asleep one night and this is what he sounded like: cough, hack, try to catch a breath, wheeze, cough, hack, try to catch a breath, wheeze, etc, etc. He was basically having an asthma attack. But the Dr's didn't call it that- it was some pulmonary distress thing-a-ma-bob. We stayed at the hospital about 5 hours, got his breathing under control and then were back home and life was good.
Christmas: We spent a few days in Kentucky before Christmas, and then spent Christmas at home. Lots and lots of new toys- a few they are still playing with...
New Years Eve: We're officially lame & old. We put the kids to bed, turned on the baby monitor and went across the street to our neighbors house. No fancy dinners or parties for us!
January: Both kids are taking swim lessons. Grant had another round of evaluations done at the Shelton School. Chris & I have a meeting there on 2/7 to go over the results of his testing. Keep your fingers crossed! We spent some time at the lake, went to the Dallas Zoo, went bowling (Grant LOVED!) and a million, zillion other things.
Here are some pictures. Enjoy!
