Smile ... It's universal.

Update cardiology

Good news... Cardiologists did agree that her aortic side is dilated, but think there's no need to close the hole in her ASD at this time. And we should follow up in 2 years for a reevaluation.

Spicing up life

Thanks Sadie... I just said this morning that I needed to put a lock on that cabinet!

Times change

And with the changing times... The time changed and everyone's internal clock is an hour off.
We've been up at 5 am each morning, but got a little break this morning and Sadie woke us at 5:45am. I guess that's not to bad. So, cheers to making bacon way to early.

Still feeling punky

sick

I'm not sure what's worse... knowing your child is getting sick by the first signs and symptoms or fearing how bad it will be.  Either way, watching, anticipating, wondering how she feels, it's a sickening feeling seeing her stop eating and sleeping 3 hours in the afternoon when she never takes a nap.  Or hearing the first sounds of a gag, that you know are about to turn into throw up and wonder how close I am to a bucket, the sink, or hard floor that will be easy to clean up.  Because I've cleaned up throw up more times than I can count and don't event find myself repulsed by it anymore.  Or worse feeling relief that your other child who is now 5 years old, can at least sit and take in the experience with some understanding, and even lends a helping hand by brushing her sister's hair out of her face.  

Hoping for a restful night tonight and that this little bug gets out of our house quickly.
