Fun games! You had to hold a baby-Serena offered her real baby for us!-talk on the cellphone and gather as many clothespins in one hand as you could without dropping anything
I believe Katie was the winner :)

Fisher Plague!
Last friday night (oct. 9th) I had to take Riley to urgent care...She had been sick for about 3 days, gettng a fever at morning and night but acting "okay" throughout the day. Friday afternoon rolled around and she woke up from her nap with a cough and pretty congested. After i put her to bed that night, i went in to check on her and she was really struggling to breath. She was still asleep but you could see her lifting her shoulders to get a breath and she sounded very wheezy...this happened back in february of this year too. (we didnt' take her to urgent care that time, we waited it out all night and then took her to the dr's the next day and they called and ambulance and rushed her to the hospital...refer to the older February post) so we learned our lessons. Josh gave riley a blessing and i took her straight to urgent care where they gave her two breathing treatments and oral steriods. They also sent us home with an inhaler to use as needed for her wheezing and a five day round of oral steroids. 3 days after the urgent care trip i took her to the dr's because she still wasn't improving much, he said he think it's asthma :( (my mom and brother have it BAD) and he prescribed QVar inhaler. It's a preventitive med to use twice a day to help her not wheez and get that bad. He's going to re-evaluate in the summer...Well here we are one week later and she is still wheezy and has a horrible cough...mostly bad at nights and when she wakes up from a nap etc. The dr. just called in a perscription for me to go pick up tonight, hopefully it helps (riley informed me yesterday she was "fixing her ear" and today said her ear hurt" poor thing!) OH and to top it off, two days after her urgent care fiasco i woke up in the middle of the night with a HORRIBLE sore throat and 5 days later, i'm just starting to see it maybe start to taper down...josh got it yesterday. We are all trying to keep braden healthy, so far so good :)

  2. That's a lot to be dealing with all at once on top of having a new baby in the house. So sorry. I just found out on Monday that Kellen has asthma too! Crazy. We have a nebulizer at home and that has helped so so far no need for an inhaler or steroids or anything. Hang in there and good luck. Your kids are still adorable!
