this morning we woke up to a crying mims. she didn't calm down until after her steamed shower. poor little baby.
sam took the girls to the doctor today after we dropped isaiah off at school.
makayah, performing the same lung test that isaiah had to undergo.
mimzy, nervously awaiting her turn.
daddy was just hoping that the doctors would hurry it up before the girls tore apart the room - or in mimzy's case, ate all the furniture.
tally of diagnoses for this week:
isaiah - onset of pneumonia.
makayah - bronchitis.
samiyah - double ear infection.
whoa! what happened?!
up until this holiday season, i can't remember the last time i had to take the kids into the doctor to fix anything (other than the regular well-child visits). i do remember they had pretty bad colds 6 weeks after samiyah was born. that was a long time ago, sickness-wise. i suppose lucky streaks have to end sometime. i'm sure the combination of traveling, travel-eating, and their inconsistent schedules wreaked havoc on their poor immune systems over the holidays...not to mention their great talent at spreading germs to one another like carrier monkeys.
sigh. at least we know what is wrong, and can now fix it.
and now, for some kiddie quotes...
*at bedtime tonight, just after hugging and kissing isaiah goodnight, he asked me, "mom, is my cheek bleeding?"
no, why?
"because, dad scratched me with his whiskers when he kissed me."
*the past few nights, makayah has been delirious with nightmares. last night she dreamed that a dinosaur was attacking her boat. she tossed and turned in her sleep, yelling out, "get samiyah! save samiyah!"
****
today i am grateful for:
*insurance. we have some really great insurance with the school - thank goodness.
*medicated kids...on the road to full recovery - soon, i hope.
*the nap i had while sam was gone. i was so worn out, i really needed a proper rest.
