Boy, has this been one tough week!!

Monday, I took Kalli to the doc for her 1 year check up. I find out she had an ear infection and she got 4 shots including the first dose of her flu shot. Now it all makes sense to me why she has been crying and clingy more than normal...and here I thought she was starting the terrible 2's early! However, she had a great check up and I praise God for that!

So Tuesday morning, at 2 a.m., have you, Ava woke up vomiting, hot as a pistol and crying that her stomach was running. Due to her being sick we made an exception and let her sleep in our bed. At 5 a.m. she again woke up fevery (sp?) and dry heaving. Nothing the rest of the day after that. As a matter of fact, she cried and begged for a hot dog at lunch time.

Let me pause here and tell you that Wayne has been sick for two weeks and for some reason will not go and visit the doctor. Anyhow....

Wednesday & Thursday are my work days and my girls stay with my mom. Both days she ran fever but it would quickly go away and was never higher than 101. I was attributing it to the flu mist that she had on that Monday. Also, I had made the doctor check her ears to make sure that there was no sign of ear infections....all was clear on Monday.

Friday was a pretty normal day. I went and worked out but noticed that most of my time there that Ava was not being her normal, playful self. So that night we went out to eat, drove to Cedar Hill to shop & about 30 minutes into shopping Ava went downhill. Her eyes started oozing green and she had big circles all the way around her eyes. I felt so bad for her. I called my sister and she said it could be pink eye but suggested I take her to the doctor the next day.

So here we are! It is Saturday. Before Wayne & I could even get in bed last night at 11 Ava woke up screaming that she could not see. Her eyes were matted together. Again, I get her up out of bed and take her to my bed. She tossed turned, coughed, kicked and eventually at 5 something she puked all over our bed. We had to get up change her, myself and the sheets and then get back in the bed for maybe another hour of sleep. With all that said, I did get up this morning, took Ava to the doctor and found out that she had a double ear infection and the right side was pretty bad. So she is now on antibiotics along with Kalli.

It is 9:30, I just finished up some homework for the week, I am stressed because I have two big papers due this week and now I am feeling the fever. My throat is extremely sore to swallow, I feel a little achy and my cheeks are flush.

I am sorry for making you read about our sicko week but I am telling you all of this because we need prayers!!

I covet all prayers for me and my family! We have not had a sick free week in 5 weeks and I am struggling big time. I still have so much that I feel I have to keep up with and school is a big part of that.

Please pray for Wayne & I and our sweet little sunshines, I know that God hears our cries. We need a better week this week!
