So what's new with you?

I have no pictures to update with. It has been a fairly eventful week, with no signs of slowing up in the foreseeable future, YIPEEE!

Tuesday Hadley had a place on her back that she said hurt. By Wednesday night it was red, hard and had what appeared to be a whitehead on it. Thursday Wayne took her to see the nurse at school and she said that it looked like she had some type of staph infection. Sure enough, I took her to the doctor and that is precisely what it was. She had a wart that had abscessed and developed staph. What followed was not pretty. As I held Hadley face down, they drained the site, she screamed at the top of her lungs about not wanting it popped, it went on for 10 minutes. After it was over, and I let her up and discovered the next ugly truth of the day, the sleeve of my shirt from wrist to elbow covered in snot and tears. The joys of Motherhood, the conveniently left out of the manual. We should get the results of her culture back on Monday and are hoping the antibiotic they have her on is the correct treatment.

Friday Ellison got her tubes in her ears. We are so very hopeful for the relief that this will bring her. She was such a little trooper. By Friday afternoon she was back to her little fiery self leaving havoc in her wake. Such a little "tude with that one. I love it now, not sure in 6 months. Friday evening I got a text message from Ellison's teacher saying there had been 3 confirmed cases of chicken pox in her class and to watch her closely (do you see where this is going). We checked her out and didn't see any signs, my Mom had come up to watch the girls for us Saturday and they enjoyed some BellBell time. This morning when Ellison woke up, she had a few bumps on her belly. As the day has progressed, the pox have multiplied. We will be taking her to the doctor this afternoon for confirmation, but more than that to document it in her chart and get some questions answered. After texting her teacher back, I have learned they are now up to 5 cases including Ellison.

So it appears the little red head will celebrate her birthday with a polka dot theme. We will have to put her 1 year pictures (which were scheduled for Wednesday), her birthday party (which was scheduled for Saturday) and Thanksgiving on hold and see what develops. Which only means December is going to be crazy!!!!!!
