This may be a long post. For those of you waiting for Tyler's weight loss results you will have to wait until later...Tyler wanted it to be a separate post.
Ava has had a very hard last 3 weeks. We went to Tyler's parents, and Ava fell down an entire flight of stairs, she instantly had a black eye. We were on our way to Cedar, to play with the Yoders, that day and decided to still go up there, since Mark is a P.A., and could check her out while we were there. She seemed ok, and we were so glad she only got a black eye. A few days later she started getting a cold. I wasn't sure if it was from playing in the snow, or if she was just teething. Turned out to be both. She is cutting her canine teeth, three of them. The next few weeks were full of sniffles and such. Then last week she got really bad. I am pretty sure she had croup. She had a fever, was breathing extremely fast, and had the worst cough ever. I should have taken her to the doctor, but I didn't until a few days later. I couldn't stand it any longer. By the time we went her cough was not as bad, and she was breathing at a more normal, but she was still very fussy. Turns out she had a BAD double ear infection to go along with all of that.
Oh AND, the day before we took her to the doctor she got bit by my brother's dog...ON HER FACE! We are just very glad it didn't break the skin. She is much better now, thank goodness.
Nathan got sick the same time as Ava (a few days after playing in the snow). He was so super congested that he would choke on the junk and throw up. One night I went in to check on him and he was so hot, I had to wake him up and give him Motrin. The next few weeks he would get sick, the beginning of the week, then by Saturday night he would be much better, so he would go to church Sunday, then get sick again a day or so later. This has gone on the entire month of February. The weather has been weird here snow, then mid 60s, then more snow, then sun....So that could have been it. But I am thinking that it had more to do with people bringing their sick kids to church.
Poor kids.
I have been pretty healthy, and only got sick once. Which is surprising with how sick the kids had been. I look like I haven't slept in weeks- oh wait I haven't.
Tyler stayed healthy through all of this. Then a few days ago he started to get something. He said he feels fine, just has that annoying tickle that makes you cough.
I am SO READY FOR SPRING! I can't believe it is still so cold here. Nathan starts soccer in a few days, and I am not excited to go sit in the cold while he plays. Maybe it will be warmer next week.
