January 2008 moments

I have not done a very good job of keeping up to date with my blogging. It seems there is never enough time and/or energy to stay on top of things lately. Hence the middle of February posting about Christmas. Pathetic! January was quite a busy month and it went by in a flash. Hopefully if I can format this post correctly it will all make some sense. If not...just enjoy the pictures!


Emmet entertaining himself while Ada was so sick.


Ada came down with pneumonia/RSV and a double ear infection. The poor girl was so incredibly ill, it was rather frightening. There was a point in time we thought she may have needed to be hospitalized but she responded well to the antibiotics and the Nebulizer. Pops (Doug) gave me a shirt that he had shrunk, which Ada found to be such a comfort...she calls it "Pop's shirt" and loves to snuggle with it. Emmet luckily only came down with a bad cold..."only",ha. It was a rough several weeks. During this time Emmet developed a lump on his clavical/back of his shoulder. The doctor did an x-ray and was concerned with what she saw - it stumped her. So we were referred for a sedated MRI, which was no fun at all but Emmet was an incredibly brave little boy. What we've been told is that it's a Cystic Vascular Lesion. We have been referred to a pediatric surgeon for a consult, although it has decreased in size significantly now so I'm anxious to see what he says. It was quite a scary time.


Ada, Mommy and the Nebulizer. Such a trooper.


Such a big girl doing it all by herself!
