Sick - day 20

Laziness with Elmo

We went to Dland with Kailey and her parents on Saturday since they FINALLY went. They had fun holding hands and following each other in lines. I was proud when Kailey had not even been on Materhorn and Gwenie had.

Then Gwenie decided to go and get a bad cold, so we have been super lazy around here. Her cough is really bad and it made me bite the bullet and finally give her cold medicine. I have been scared of it since there has been such controversy over it. I decided on Muccinex cough since it says on the package 2 years old or older, it has worked great!



We did venture out of the house to get medicine and Gweniveve had all of her Elmo's (all 4 of them) in the shopping cart with her sitting next to her and everyone was laughing as we passed them by. Then to the library, Gweniveve, of course, had to take ALL of her Elmo's again. So I decided to document it with a pic from my iphone.



I have been getting in alot of sewing since she has been sick. I can't wait until Gwenieve's B-Day to show you the cute Princess/Elmo hat I made her! Because of course we have to have a Elmo birthday. I am also going to attempt to make her a Elmo cake, here is praying for success!!!!!

Sickness + Puddles

Whew! What a week. As some of you know Gwenie has been mysteriously sick and in lots of pain this week and after taking her to the doctor two days in a row, for 5 plus hours each, they still didn't know what was wrong with her. I was really frustrated with the on call doctor that saw her for not figuring out what was wrong with Gwenie. I think she thought I was a crazy Mom who thought her daughter was in pain when she was not! I really really do not like doctors. I love our Pediatrician but she was totally booked (probably since she is so good) and we had to see the on call doctor. Needless to say I am going to report to my doctor that the on call doctor SUCKS!

On Saturday I called my mom telling her all that is wrong with Gwenie. I thought it might have been strep throat for a minute because Gwenie has all this white stuff in her mouth, but the doctor tested her for strep and it was not. My mom said Strep would only be on her tonsils and not in her whole mouth. Huh, why didn't the doctor tell me that?!?!?! My mom said it sounded like she had Thursh, which is a yeast infection in the mouth. IT then causes you to have a yeast infection in your woman area and that would explain why Gwenie had been grabbing herself and crying like she was in pain. I ask you, why didn't the doctor notice this when she looked in Gwenie's mouth and took a culture for her throat?? Or when I said that Gwenie was grabbing herself and crying in pain??? I even said to the doctor that it had to be a bladder infection or a yeast infection,but of course I am not a doctor and what do I know?? ( I have had both and knew the syptoms) Ya, dumb doctor.

Luckily I called my Mom and she diagnosed her. So on Valentines Day, Saturday,Brett and I sat in the walk-n clinic with Gwenie for another 4 hours! Three days in a row of doctors. Atleast the doctor agreed with my Mom and gave us medicine and Gwenie is finally feeling better, even though she is still in alot of pain and is waking up in the night crying. The doctor said it would take a week of medicine before she felt better, but she is on the mend. So thanks Mom, you really should have been a doctor. You always know what is wrong and what to do in situation. You are my hero!!!

Brett had today off and decided he was actually going to take it off. He had been planning on still going to work since it is a short month, but surprised us this morning when he was still here. YAY. We went to lunch at Lucille's and then let Gwenie play in the puddles because she has been DYING to.

She was dancing to her hearts content.

Then decided to try to drink the water. I swear this girl wants to drink any water that she sees, but I don't let her luckily.



She had tons of fun and the poor girl deserved it!



This is my favorite one. I love her little hands and feet.



Now we just have to wait the week it will take for her to be completely better!

I want to believe.....

As you know from this previous post that we are big X-Files fans. Today the X-files movie comes out. We got Brett's mom to come over after work to watch Gwenie and we are going to see it. I even think I am going to go and buy the tickets early today since there will probably be long lines. For those of you that have not watched the trailer here it is....looks so good and doesn't Scully look awesome???

I am posting about this since Gwenie and I have not been doing anything this week because she is getting over a cold and I am worn-out from all of her sickness, almost 2 weeks worth. But here are a couple of shots I got during some happiness.

stay away

Gweniveve got sick last night and threw up for the first time, so she has the flu or the doctor said "virus", isn't that the flu??? Temp. of 103 and counting. Poor thing. Can't get comfortable and really wants to eat and have her milk bottle, but I am trying to follow the doctors orders. Hopefully it only lasts for the 3 days that the doctor said and she will be up and running around the neighborhood in her new Superhero Cape from Plum Pear Apple. Just waiting for the Cape to arrive. Don't worry I will have PLENTY of pictures of that.

P.S. I survived my first throwing up incident! Whoo Hoo!
