A visit with Dr. Morgan....

Friday, the girls spiked temperatures while Mom was keeping them. Here was the result from a visit with Dr. Morgan:

Madison:

Symptoms: diarreah, fever

Diagnosis: Red throat, let's swab for strep throat. Test came back positive. Oh, look, her eyes look like she is getting conjunctivitis.

Prescriptions: Tobramyacin drops daily for 7 days
Azithromyacin every day for 3 days (it is a stronger antibiotic, so shorter time, but stays in her system for a full 10 days)

Ok, on to :

Kenzie:

Symptoms: fever, really bad cough (for 2-3 weeks now) and at school today, green yucky discharge from the nose.

Diagnosis: Sinisitis. Well, since Maddie came back positive for strep, let's check Kenzie. POSITIVE FOR STREP! Even though her throat wasn't red, she was positive for it also!

Treatment: Azithromycin every day for 5 days.

I am so sorry for the girls, but this is the first time they have been this sick in a long time. Too bad Kenzie has to miss school tomorrow, but she will be contagious until tomorrow afternoon. So, she will be back to school on Wednesday.

And now for the low down, other than the kids being sick, nothing going on.... SIKE!!!

Ryan got his car tagged and taken to Pop's house. Pop called today:

Diagnosis: YOU NEED AN OXYGEN SENSOR IN YOUR GAS TANK! Praise God! He said it will cost under 100 to fix it! Yay and he is going to do an oil change and fuel injection cleaning on it too. We should have it back this weekend. Praise God! We will have two cars next week! Yay! I can't wait to not be stranded at home the days that Ryan works 12 hours and it will be so much easier on the kids when we don't have to get up and take Ryan to work on thursdays and tuesdays! Yay! will be so worth it! I will keep you posted on that.

Jackie (the preacher's wift) has been diagnosed with liver and colon cancer. Keep her in your prayers.

Amanda-- is home. More of an update later.

And I think that is all I can think of right now.

The importance of connections

Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways. Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
