Logan is home from school today (his fever didn’t break until early this morning…hoping it’s gone for good!!), but that’s not keeping him from playing out in the first snow of the year!

Just Go Away!!
Posted on December 19, 2010 by Nancy
Another one bites the dust. Logan now has a fever. For those of you keeping score, it looks something like this:
- Me (bronchitis)
- Burke (fever)
- Maggie (fever and bronchitis; finished meds on Friday)
- Burke (fever AGAIN)
- Logan (fever)
And Mike hasn’t been feeling well either. In fact, he’s been sleeping for most of the weekend…which – if you know him, you know that’s HIGHLY unusual. The man can’t sit still.
Hoping we’re all healthy for Christmas (and Disney!!!)

We Made Christmas Crack!
Posted on December 17, 2010 by Nancy
Hm. Wonder how many “strange” searches THAT will generate…
Anyway…my friend Lori mentioned Christmas Crack on FB the other day…which of course had me intrigued. A nice link to the recipe and a sample brought to the Kindergarten Holiday concert, and I’m hooked.
And what did I do? I took pictures of the product…not of the kids making the product. (Nice, Nance.)

Holiday Concerts
Posted on December 15, 2010 by Nancy
Burke and Maggie had their holiday concerts today! And they were super cute 🙂
They were, of course, at different times…but that meant I got to concentrate on one kid at a time – and worry about photographing only one kid at a time, so it was all good.
Here’s a sample of what I got to see today (video coming soon if I can get my act together).

Maggie Update
Posted on December 14, 2010 by Nancy
Maggie and I spent 2 hours at the pediatrician yesterday.
I called the nurse yesterday morning and chatted with her for a good 10 minutes about everything going on with Maggie. (The on-again-off-again fever since Wednesday, the cough, the vomiting…) She told us to come on in…our normal pedi was the emergency doc for the day, so we’d be seeing Dr. Pedi. Perfect.
We got there and only had to wait for a few minutes before being called into the exam room. The nurse did her thing and then we only had to wait a few minutes more for Dr. Pedi to come in. She chatted with me for a bit, checked Maggie over, and did a strep test. Told us to wait until the results for that came in. HERE’S where time was spent just trying to entertain a droopy Maggie. (She wasn’t that bad, actually.) Dr. Pedi came back and said, “No Strep…and I didn’t want to mention this before, but she’s got a *lot* of wax in her ears so I couldn’t get a good look at them…we’ll have to go in.” And OMG.SO.GROSS. How does one little ear gather that much wax?? It seriously looked like she pulled out a roly poly bug. Poor Maggie *screamed* the entire time. And Dr. Pedi could only get the wax out of one ear; Maggie was crying/screaming too much to get the big ball out of the other one. Dr. Pedi said that it was because it was hard and kind of like a scab. *barf*
ANYWAY…after all that, she sent us up to the lab to get X-Rays on Maggie’s chest thinking she might have pneumonia. Oh goodie. That was another HUGE chuck of time was dropped. Maggie alternated between whimpering and playing tic-tac-toe with me. The X-Ray tech was completely awesome, and did his thing quickly.
Back down to Dr. Pedi to read the X-Rays. No pneumonia. But…. “There’s a fuzzy spot on one lung that might be bronchitis.”
So, Maggie is now on the same meds I was on two weeks ago…only hers is liquid and tastes a hell of a lot better!

Still Not 100%
Posted on December 12, 2010 by Nancy
Maggie STILL has a fever. This has been going on since Wednesday afternoon. It hasn’t been a high, alarming fever…but enough to make her miserable. And she’s keeping things down now…there was a two-day period where all she had was Gatorade.
But as you can see…she won’t be headed to school again tomorrow. (This picture was taken around 4:30pm today.)
