What's Going Around

Well Sunday morning I had to take Mckenna to Urgent Care in Mason. After being there all morning long we found out Mckenna has RSV which is a very scary virus that children and infants tend to get. It's very contagious so we are hard at work to not pass the germs along to Sean because with his age this illness would most likely put him in the hospital. Thankfully my motherly instinct told me to take Mckenna to Urgent Care and her oxygen level was just high enough so she didn't have to be admitted to the hospital to receive oxygen. She made a huge impression on the doctors and nurses she got a teddy bear and a Popsicle. I wish us adults could get that kind of treatment. :) Mckenna has been a trooper through it all and she is slowly getting better. If Sean doesn't show any symptoms by Friday/Saturday we should be in the clear.

Officially Old

The news from the doctor today was not very encouraging. I went in because my knee was so swollen, aspirated 125cc of fluid off it. In the last 7 months I have lost 1/3 of the space where there should be cartilage and he anticipates I will be bone on bone by the end of the year. It felt good when I left but now that the numbing has worn off not so hot! We had the following conversation while looking at my x-ray,

Dr. - So I don't understand why you are complaining about your knee.
Me - It is swollen don't you think.
Dr. - Yes, but your left hip is toast! I would think that bothers you every step.
Me - It has its days
Dr. - I imagine
Me - What are my options?
Dr - Let's just say when you are ready for a hip replacement call and I will fit you in right away.
Me - Can we do double duty? L hip R knee at the same time.
Dr - NO

Now I have to figure out what would be a good time to have that done.

I thought only old ladies had hip replacements! Keep your sarcastic comments to yourself!

Sean is Growing

I took Sean to his 2 month check up on Friday and he is 25inches long which is 2ft 1inch, yup that's right my 2 month old is over 2 ft already. Also he weighs 15 pounds already. The doctors said he's like the size of a 5-6 month old. So if anyone is shocked we are going to have another tall guy in the family, but I really don't think that is much of a shocker.

More snow to push around

It is a sad day when your tummy drags in the snow. I need longer legs.

Snowy Morning

Grand Valley didn't have school today which is awesome. So instead of going to class I spent some of my morning shoveling. Thought everyone (especially the Grants) might want to see the true after effects of a blizzard in west Michigan. We got about 14 inches and drifting was really bad.
