The FLU

 It started with a call from the school nurse that Ryan had a 103 fever....I knew he had strep or the flu...

 and it was the flu.  We kept stressing to STAY away...but I think it had already been passed, so two days later little Miss got it...

 Later on in the afternoon after she was diagnosed and they had prescribed tamiflu, that she threw right up of course, she couldn't keep anything down and her temperature was wavering at 104. By this time, Chris and I also had the flu, but decided to take her in thinking they may give her fluids.

 Long story short, they wouldn't redose her (just an FYI-if you ever go to the ER, TAKE your own medicine so you can walk out and take it if they won't/too long of a wait, etc...) By the time they dosed her, the did a suppository, it was so high and dropped so fast she had a febrile seizure. I am sure Dottie and I are perfectly okay to NEVER relive that moment again. They decided to keep us and make sure nothing else was wrong, etc...We went home 24 hours later and about 3 days later she was perking back up to her normal self. What a scare!

 Like she was really going to sleep in this jail...

                                          So pitiful!

Happy 8th Birthday Ryan!

Happy #8 to Ryan! This picture sums him up PERFECTLY....We haven't figured out what in the world Ryan is mad at, but I think its the world. Even on his birthday. 

On his birthday we went as a family to monster mini golf and laser tag.

For his birthday party we had a repeat flag football party but luckily indoors this year!

At 8, Ryan:

~has a true love of football and can tell you anything about any player on any team

~thinks whoever created school and snowbibs is capital s.t.u.p.i.d

~but still loves MATH

~weighs 53lbs and is 4'1"

~will tell you he hates it, but can play piano and BELT out the songs with the best of them

~ still thinks Marion is the cutest of pies

~is DETERMINED to be right about EVERYTHING. You should just agree after the first 'bout of arguing....

Love you to the moon Ryan! We are hoping 8 is great!!

Happy New Year & 6 Months!
