Quick Update

Since I posted last some things have happened. Kaylynn still is not herself. After finishing the stronger antibiotic, she was acting weird. So I kept an eye on it. So Thursday evening as soon as I pulled into the garage, the dreaded throwing up in her car seat happened. Ugh. So I got her out tried to peel her clothes off and clean up the mess. All the while she seemed fine as could be. I thought maybe she drank her bottle to fast. So, it was time for supper so I left her clothes off (diaper and socks on, lol) We decided to give her something mild, so we chose chicken noodle baby food. Well, almost the whole jar in and up it all came and was literally everywhere. Ugh!! Plus she had dirtied a diaper before that. So up to the tub we went dumping warm water over her to get her somewhat cleaned up, then she got a real bath. So, again she played and seemed ok so at this point we were stumped. So, later off to bed and bottle time.....and it all came up and was all over! So we got her cleaned up and changed and put her to bed.
She was up the night before from midnight to 1:30am just bawling. We thought it was her teeth, she is cutting 4 right now. I got a whopping 3 hours sleep and am on mandatory 10 hour days! :( So, she slept all that night, so we thought she was fine. Until the sitter called me Friday morning at work and said she had thrown up 3 times. Puked on the dog. Needed a bath, and had to get her husband out of bed to help clean up. Ugh!!! And now was crying alot. So I called the Doc and left work early to take her. Well, Jenn said the vomiting could be caused by ear infections and she still messes with her ears all the time. So off to the Doc and YEP!! Ear infection! So, we FINALLY got referred to Dr. Bruce, an ear specialist at Evangelical Hospital. Put her on amoxicillin until then.
We've been giving her pedilyte, and feeding her the "braty" diet. (banana, rice, applesauce, toast, yogurt) to keep in bland. Today we gave her some actual baby food. She has kept everything down, so fingers crossed!! It has been quite another long week here. Just want her to be healthy and not sick all the time!! Poor kid is always on antibiotics! :(

Another Busy Week

As another busy week starts I am constantly reminded to sometimes slow down and make sure I am making time for the important things in life. Heard a new song today by Phil Vasser saying to slow down and don't miss your life! Here it is. Not sure how to get the actual video on here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12SOiGWJiwc&feature=colike It brought tears to my eyes!

But Kaylynn loves playing outside! She rides around in the wagon at the babysitters. She's all in her glory. :) Picked up sunscreen for her so she don't burn to a crisp out there and dug out her sunhats. Packed away all but a few 6-9 month clothes, and put the swing in the other room since she hasn't been using it for a little while now. :( Had to get her Summer jammies for bed. She looks like such a big girl. And what is it about PJ's that look so cute? :) With every new thing she does, it's so bittersweet. She has learned so many new things this week too! She says Boo! She will put her leg up and hold it for me to put her shoes on. She has learned to take her socks off and eat them. She "kisses the baby" when she looks in the mirror. If I say kiss Mommy she has done it to me but only 3 times. She holds her own bottle. She has pretty much officially is wearing 12 month clothes, bumped up a shoe size. :( I think she is starting to teeth again. Fussy time is about to begin!

We close on our refinancing of the house Thursday! And David has been working his side job and I am back on some overtime at work! Maybe we can get ahead finally! Also got our taxes back so I got my car inspected and fixed. (It was to be done in January...bad me!) only $900+ later, I'm back on the road and legal! I still need to get it aligned yet.

David has been diligently working on finishing the basement! Got some framing done. Just hard when he's working full time, working a side job and putting her to bed early makes it hard to find time to work on it. I am already dreaming up decorating ideas. :) Well, that's about all for now! Gotta get to bed soon 2:30am comes quick!!
She LOVES being read to! (P.S the script bottle is empty, she like to chew it and fling it around)

I am a big girl.

My nephew Julian. Real men lay on pink owl boppy pillows!

Trying to grab Julian!

Eeeeeee.....come here you baby!!

So adorable.

Getting some fresh country air!

Her new size 3 sneakers. I thought they were cute and Springy.

Messy Marvin

She was so tired. Daddy was rubbing her back.

Kept talking to herself in the mirror. :)

What Mom?

We decided to let her feed herself today. She did good. Very messy, but she like brussel sprouts too!

Messy girl!

Germs Be Gone!!

Well, Kaylynn has been running a fever since yesterday and tugging on her ears, so I made a Doc appt for today. She has yet another ear infection. Back on Cefdinir. Poor girl is so miserable. They also noticed her one eye is slightly turned in so we will need to be seeing an eye Doctor for her for that. I just wish we could have a week where none of us were sick!! Germs be gone from this house!!

Update on My Pap

My Mom, and sisters and I went to visit my Pap Thursday night. He seemed to be doing well. Cracking jokes. He got discharged last evening and is now home. He thinks he can just jump right back into what all he was doing before so my Gram has to keep after him. :) Please continue to pray for his recovery and for my Gram to because she has arthritis very bad in her hands, feet, shoulders, etc. So her helping him is hard for her. But I talked to her today and he seems to be doing very well!! Thank you for the prayers!!

Prayers Needed!

My Pap fell today while he and my Gram were out and about in Lewisburg. Thankfully he was in a store, and NOT driving at the time. He was close to Evangelical Hospital, so that's where he went. Did a CAT scan and at the time he was unresponsive. And he did have a stroke. So, they gave him a shot to dissolve the blood clot on/in his brain (not sure which it is) and lifeflighted him to Geisinger where he is now in Critical Care. He is alert and knows what is going on now. He is crackin' jokes. Although he says he wants to go home!! They did another CAT scan when he got there, no results thus far. They will be keeping him for at least a few days for physical therapy. Not sure how bad the damage was. Mom said his one side is sluggish. So, please remember him and my Gram in prayer! His 82nd birthday is coming up on the 24th!! I told Mom to tell him, "ya know you ARE getting older, you just can't go gally vanting all over Lewisburg for crying out loud!!" LOL!! Thanks for the prayers!! I will update soon!!!
