Christmas ills 12/29/09


Wow! What a holiday. We were so sick. Kaydee had strep. Kinsley had double ear infections. Both girls were miserable. Kensley had to have two antibiotic shots. Kaydee took oral antibiotics. We were going to go to Grandma's for Christmas, but we were too sick and I was too tired of taking care of everyone to load up and go. So we spent a quiet Christmas at home with snow covered ground, a white Christmas. It was nice. The kids began to feel better on Christmas day. We watched the Nativity Story on Christmas Eve and made our lists of what we would give Jesus for His birthday. On Christmas morning we opened gifts. They loved their presents and we remembered the miracle parts of our year, inspite of the extremely hard few days that had just past. Kensley had been waking up at 2am for the 6 days. Her stools went from 3 times a day to 6 times a day. I am sooooo tired, physically, mentally, emotionally. I pray that her stools will slow down again, and that we can finally get off of her fluids at night. It has been soooo hard. We almost get off and then she gets sick or a cold or something. We really need a break, a time of blessings, and we pray that January will bring that.
