ROTAVIRUS

The worst thing to happen to my baby! I dont know how, could be the gym daycare or the shopping carts but somehow mandy contracted it. It started last saturday she didnt look very good, it looked as though she was sick. her cheeks were all pink and her temp was 99.9 never got over that though. She was sleeping alot and didnt feel like eating her food. a few days before her nose was really runny and so i thought all of this was just her teething.

THEN the diarehha started Sunday. she had no fever slepped great saturday night and looked so much better but the runny stools... then monday it got worse. She has a yeast infection on top of it all I really have no clue how...

so here it is friday and my baby has a bad ear infection (the Dr. said that 2 days ago and today said it looked like it was getting better) her yeast cant go away while she is taking anitbiotics for her ear, and her butt looks bruised from all the acid in her stool. SO
I beg each and everyone of you who have infants to get them vaxed against the ROTAVIRUS there is a small window between 2 months and 9 months. I had no idea they even had a vax for it but my dr. told me today they did but once you get it you are immuned. So many will be safe from now on.. so get your babies vaxed so you dont have to go throught his terrible ordeal...

luckily i have been able to keep her hydrated she doesnt drool at all (she was a fountain before) but her mouth is still moist so we havnt had to hospitalize her ... and this thing lasts anywhere from 3-14 days. Pray for a speedy recovery and no more stinging on her bum!

Horray for Summer!

Mike graduated last friday YEAH! we are half way done with his schooling. He was working hard on all his projects and Now his challenge is figuring out what to do with his time and which classes to sign up for in the fall.

Kate and Mandy are so beautiful and they keep me busy all the time. Mandy loves attention and she has been ill with infections all around. She still manages to smile with her big fat cheeks.

Kate is a bargening queen. When i try to put her to bed at night she tells me to play with her hair before she closes her eyes. She loves watching Dora and dancing. We are putting her in dance starting in June. I am so excited for that. I hate how my babies grow so fast. Mandy is 6 months old this week and she is such a joy.

Me I am trying to figure out ways to enjoy the summer on a VERY low budget. I know God works miracles in our lives because i honestly know we couldnt make it through school without him.

We love our little home and hope to accomplish some projects with our tax rebate... I will let you know more updates soon.
