Baptism

Today was Lila's baptism. It was also confirmation at our church. It was a busy happy service with lots to celebrate! We waited until now for the baptism so my sister, Becky, could be here. Her kids have all week off school so they were able to fly up for Lila's special day. 2 of my sisters, Becky and Jennifer, are Lila's godparents. Our whole family joined us at home for brunch following the service.

Grace had a rough week. A week ago today her fever returned and went up to 104 degreess. I called the doctor Monday morning. He was able to see her late in the day. He was concerened about her, even saying he "was a little freaked out" because her fever was gone for a couple days then returned. He did a chest xray and some bloodwork. It was the beginning of pneumonia so shot in the little butt and 10 days of antibiotics have her on the mend. She returned to Kindergarten on Friday feeling much more like her normal self.

Lila's next surgery is scheduled for December 8. We check into the hospital on the 7th and will stay about 3 days. I hope they have wireless internet!

Update


This was one of those weeks.


Grace had to stay home from school 4 days with a fever. She went to the doctor, they thought it might be strep but it wasn't so they think it was viral. They never said H1N1 but I'm guessing that's what it was.


Meanwhile Lila had surgery on Tuesday. It was a biopsy that confirmed that she has a condition called Hirschprung's Disease in which part of the colon does not have the nerve cells required for normal function. She will have 2 for sure, possibly 3 surgeries in the next 6-8 months. The first will be after Thanksgiving, probably early December.


My babies are sick! Luckily we have a big fat cat to keep them warm. Isn't Oscar the sweetest little guy to take care of his Grace when she's sick on the couch?
