A Sore Throat?

Last Monday my little girl Kate got Strep throat. All she wanted to do was be held which I didn't mind since she is getting so big. Although she is a pretty whinney patient, I felt bad for her. By Monday night I told Rod that my throat was starting to hurt, but was ok to go and play softball. During the middle of the night/early Tuesday morning I woke up because my throat was hurting so bad. I had the chills and so at 1 am I got up and got in the bath, but we have a rinky-dinky tub so it made me more cold. I got out and went downstairs not to wake my husband. Then around 3 I went for another bath......needless to say I wasn't feeling well.

That morning I called my mom and she said to just come down and she gave me a strep shot, but by that night I was not feeling any better. I woke up Wed. morning feeling worse then the day before. My mom came and got me and took me down to her dr.'s office and then sent me right over to the ENT for another look. Well, I had an abcessed tonsil...WHAT! The doctor said she wanted to drain it and relieve some of the pressure. Nothing came out...are you kinding me you just stuck and needle in my tonsil and nothing comes out. She said that this is serious and I am admitting you for 48 hours in the hospital. The only way to clear this is through IV antibiotics. So for the next 48 hours I stayed in pain at the hospital for a REALLy bad infection and a REALLY sore throat. George Washington actually died from this very thing I had.
Thanks to my wonderful husband and wonderful family that has helped take care of me and my girls.
I have an wonderful husband and I hope he knows how much I love him and appreciate all he does and has done for me. I love You Babe!
I have a follow up dr's appt. tomorrow...

Kate's Dance

Kate had a dance performance last night at a retirement center last night. I remember often going to lunch at Grandpa Docs place and my mom and Cathy seeing things like these performances on the schedule and them telling him he should go. He would most always reply I am not going...but thanks to all of the grandmas and grandpas that went last night. She was so cute. I can't believe that she is old enough to being going to performances.
Speaking of also....I know everyone would like to know she will be having another performance on May 19th (my birthday...you don't have to bring presents) in Lehi. It is really fun to watch her.

Twlight Fans

Ok, So I was the typical fan that read the twlight books in a couple of days...I was not quiet the fanatic as some others I know. But I would say I am a fan of the books. After the actors were named of who would be playing who I wasn't so excited, but after seeing this trailer I am excited to see the movie. Twlight trailer

Girls favorite spot....

My grandparents get the firstborn on their 1st birthday a rocking chair. Well the rocking chair that I got was one that was given to my dad on his 1st birthday.


This rocking chair has been the center of many fights between my girls, but it has turned into Megs favorite spot. This morning she went and climbed right up and tried to cover herself with her blanket. It is so cute to watch her grow and find things she loves. (As I am typing this Kate is carrying around the rocking chair...saying mine. and Meg just following her around)


This has also turned into the waiting for daddy to come home spot. Rod will call when he leaves work he will call and say he is on his way. Meg gets to her post and waits. My girls sure love their dad....I just tell myself they would love me that much too if I wasn't nagging on them all day long.

I miss Rob....

This morning while making breakfast for my girls. Kate started crying and I asked what was wrong and she said "I miss Uncle Robbie" I said I did too. We both sat and cried at the table. She talks about Robbie and missing him all the time, but this was the first I has seen her cry about it. As a parent you hate to see your children be sad, but this was especially hard. I miss my brother so much. I don't miss the not seeing him reguraly, because Rob and Patti lived away, but I miss talking to him. I miss and hate the fact that I won't hear his voice again for a very very long time. I am so grateful for all the memories I have in my head of him and I can hear his laugh and so many things remind me of him. Sorry for blabbing on and on, but it has just been on my mind and I needed to write it....I MISS HIM!
