What a stressful week! It started when my daughter started running a very high temp. late Fri. (7/6)night. She had been having headaches all week. We ended up taking her to the E.R. early Sat. morning where they proceeded to tell us w/o running any tests, she had a "feveral virus" whatever that is! Anyway, the fever doesn't get any better & isn't staying down, even w/meds. Adam's aunt who is a doctor @ Children's tells us to go ahead & take her to their E.R. b/c by this time Allie's saying her neck was hurting, which is a red flag w/high fever. So, it's almost 10pm Sun. @ this time. We go to Children's & they take blood & try to get a urinalysis, but Allie can't pee, b/c she's dehydrated, so they give her I.V. fluids. This is a couple hours into our adventure. Anyway, turns out she has a pretty bad U.T.I, she just wasn't having any pain from it which is why they couldn't find her infection. However, that infection doesn't explain why she's having headaches & neck pain. So, after much deliberation, the doctor's decide to do a spinal tap to check for menengitis. UGGHH!!! I try to stay calm & they say they're going to put her under for it, so I felt a little better b/c by this time (3:30 a.m.) my poor baby is crying and just wants to go home. So, thank God she doesn't have menengitis! We have to wait for her to come out from under the anasthetic, which she had no reactions to, thank goodness. She was very happy when she woke up, just really groggy. We got to go home @ 7:30a.m., finally. Needless to say, we all slept the whole next day. Well, she was still having these headaches a few days later, and so I called her doctor's office to find that they're not taking appointments eccept for emergencies b/c they're implementing some new system that the staff is training for. What? Not taking appointments?! How stupid! It's a freaking doctor's office! Anyway, a nurse calls me back & after I told her what all had been going on, she says to just "keep treating her w/ tylenol & motrin"... the same old crap! I was really worried b/c she had been having them for so long. Luckily, she didn't have one today, so I feel better. So, that drama's better, only to have another one yesterday & today...my husband started having bad breathing probs. (he has asthma) @ work and long story short, his doc told him he had to stop working w/chemicals,in short, he had to stop doing his job. Needless to say, while his company tried to find him something else to do, they couldn't, so we've been on the search for a new job.
Update...7/24 Adam's taken a job...pray it will work out for him.!!

Last Weekend
I had such a good time this wee
kend! My cousin Jennifer came in from Louisiana to pick up my sister. She's moving to Louisiana w/Jenn. I'm sad b/c she's never been that far from me, but I am also happy for the opportunity to start fresh b/c she needs it. I am also glad that it is Jennifer she's staying with. I love her & I know she'll take care of Jamie &Jamie will take care of her! Anyway, we had a going away party for Jamie Friday & it was really fun! That's where these pics came from. I will really miss my big sis and best friend, but I'm happy for her, too! I love you sis!!! Have a great time & I hope you meet some hot military men!!!
