• The Grands

  I love how Linda calls her grandchildren the “grands”.  That is exactly what they are — GRAND!!  My little grand Haley has been very sick last night and today.  Nikki came up yesterday evening to spend time with her mom for her mom’s birthday.  Nikki said after Haley ate supper she got very whiney.  Then she wanted to go to bed and went right to sleep.  She woke a little later with a tempature of 103.4.  She only had medicine for Mason and it would barely bring Haley’s temp down.  Nikki called the dr. on call at 3AM.  He asked Nikki questions about Haley and then advised her not to take her to the ER.  

  Today Haley still ran a high temp. and started throwing up.  Finally, this afternoon Nikki took her to Children’s Hospital.  They tested her for strep, UTI, and flu.  They couldn’t find anything wrong with her, so they think it is a virus.  Nikki sent me this pic on my phone and it breaks my heart.

  

  Nikki cried telling me they put a catheter in her and how tramatic it was.  It made me cry to think of her going thru it.  Please help me pray she is over this quickly.

   I had just seen her last Wednesday and had a wondeful day with them.  We went out to eat to celebrate my birthday.  Andrew was in Chicago for a district manager’s school and so it was just Nikki, the babies, and me.  I took loads of pictures. (of course)   I could only take pictures of Haley in the car because Mason was facing backwards and I was in the front seat.  

  

  Her pink penquin (“Pinky”) had to be strapped in the carseat with her at first.  

            

  After she got bored with her book, she looked at Mason.

   

            

  She says, “don’t take my picture.”  Haley is not crazy about me taking her picture, but I can’t help myself!

  

  Haley ate wonderful at the resturant (I wish you could hear her say resturant).  Mason ate a piece of bread.

             

  For dessert Haley had cotton candy…

           

  and chocolate covered marshmellow and strawberry.

            

  Mason had little bites of my chocolate.

             
  

  Chocolate mustaches.

            

   

  I told Nikki for my birthday I was going to let Haley shop for something she liked and pick it out herself.  Yeah, that is super fun for me.  Nikki said we would shop at the dollar bins at Target.  Haley loves Target.  Of course we got some stuff for Mason too.  

  Mason fell asleep in the car holding his hat.  When we stopped to get out, he woke.

  

  Nikki started taking pics of him on her phone because my memory was full.  Every time he sees her taking pics of him, he smiles.

  

  Isn’t he just the cutest thing with those big blue eyes?

  It was so much fun watching Haley shop.     

            

  

  Mason couldn’t stay awake and fell back to sleep.  He is a great baby.

  

  I had such a blast with them.  I got to rock Haley to sleep and rock Mason before he went to bed.  It was a wonderful day!

  The next night, Thursday, I went to eat with my family after Jared’s graduation to celebrate my birthday too.  I am hoping to blog about it tomorrow.  Ryan has ran a low grade fever since Friday.  He texted me at school and asked if I could pick him up cause he thought he was running a temp.  I told him I couldn’t because I was going to feed Mom her lunch.  He asked me to pray for him and he made it the rest of the day.  I picked him up after school and his temp. was 99.9.  He felt really bad.  

  He ran a tempature Saturday and today.  This evening he says he is a lot better and is acting normal again.  He only has to go to school till 11:40AM tomorrow, so if he is running a temp. then, I plan to take him to the doctor.  He has to go tomorrow because he has tests and he only has two days left of school.  He would not be able to make them up.  

  Ok, I am off to wash dishes and then to bed.  I pray you all have a blessed night and day tomorrow.
