The plan was to enjoy a nice 3 day weekend. The plan today was to have some fun with the kiddos. We were going swimming with neighbors this morning and then make a short drive to spend the afternoon swimming with friends. So, as we like to say in the south............
" It ain't happenin"
As our luck would have it, Dawson woke this morning with a fever and Madison has been complaining for a couple of days of an ulcer in her mouth. Upon further investigation, we not only found one but SEVERAL ulcers all over her mouth and tongue. Bless her because I know those things gotta hurt.
I took her to the Dr. and it appears its one of those summer viral things that have been helped along by all the kiddos in Vacation Bible School. The Dr also said that fever is present in the smaller kids before the ulcers show up ( which would help explain why Dawson is running a fever today) sooooooooooooooo.... Another Holiday weekend couped up with highly contagious kiddos.
Plans sure do change fast when you have kids don't they??? One minute you think your going to be doing this only to find out the kids have other plans for you...
BLAH!!
Despite the fever, Dawson has been in a great mood today. And despite all those blisters in her mouth, Madison seems to be doing pretty well herself. Now if we can only get rid of those stupid seizures.
On the way to the Dr. this morning the following conversation took place between me and Madison....
and keep in mind shes only 4....
" Daddy, how many bad words are there? 20 or 27?"
ME.. " I don't know Madison, what are a few of them that you know?"
" Well I know we don't call people stupid, and I know we don't call people dumb"
ME " Yes that's right"
" Daddy? what do I do if somebody calls me a Dummy head?"
ME " Well what do you think the right thing to do is?"
After a lot of thought and a long pause from Madison she says....
" I think I should punch them in the face!!"
OK so where does she get this from?? because that's a little concerning. HA!
So I taught her the little sticks and stones can break my bones rhyme, and hopefully she will remember to use that as plan A and skip the punching of the faces portion of her original solution.
Seizures still the same. Maybe starting to see some harder ones coming out which is a little disheartening. Allison woke up at 3 this morning with him and she said he had a cluster with about 40 in it. YUK
Keep those prayers coming. We love you guys
