Virus After Virus

Well, Mom and Dad are back from Zambia. They made it safely home on Sunday. I got to talk to them and finally tell them about my appointment tomorrow and Kenley's kidney. They were glad to be back and they were very tired. Jayden and I went to lunch with Winkle Danny, Aunt Norma and Grandma Mary. Jayden ate all of Opa's Blue Bell ice cream for him! Okay...not ALL. That is just a sugar rush that no parent is dumb enough to encourage! :)

Asking for "more"!

Sunday morning Jayden woke up with a rash that COVERED her entire torso (front and back) and her neck. It showed up a little on her forehead and mouth when she would get really hot. We saw Dr. Weed at church and he said that it was just another virus. She wasn't contagious, but I needed to keep her out of the heat and keep the rash covered up. Well, the only way to do that is to put her in a turtleneck and that wasn't going to happen in 100+ degree weather! Here is a picture or two of her wonderful spots! I couldn't really get any shots that would justify the extent of the rash. I'm not an over-reacter when it comes to rashes and stuff. Usually I just think, "Ah...I'll wait a couple of days and see what happens." This rash, however, had me a little freaked out!

Anyway, she is fine now. She gets more viruses than I have ever heard of a child getting. Dr. Weed assures me that it is just because we live a very social and active lifestyle. It will definitely help her fight off more stuff when it is time for her to head to school. Okay...not thinking about that now! Yikes!

Quick reminder that I have my ultrasound with a Perinatal specialist tomorrow morning at 8:50am. I will post whenever I have something to tell and I have talked to my family.

Thank you all for your prayers!
