Change of Plans

Well, my weekend turned out differently than I had hoped.  I had planned to go out to one of my favorite restaurants (HuHot) with the rest of the leadership team for church.  This was to finally be our Christmas party together.  So we took the kids over to my mom's so she could watch them for the evening.  Yea!  However, approximately three minutes after arriving there, Ana threw up and felt horrible with a fever.  A change of plans was necessary.  I took the girls back home with me, David stayed on with my parents, and Aaron continued on with plans, though feeling much sadder about the evening.  The girls and I didn't do much at home.  It did give me a chance to clean up the house more.  Then everyone from the dinner stopped by after their meal out together brining ice cream to share with me.  So at least I got to have a small part in the evening's festivities.  Joey did his part to help Ana feel better too by keeping her company while she slept.
Ana continued to have fevers throughout the weekend.  I took her in to the doctor today even though she did not have a fever as of yet today.  It seems to come and go at will and has been for the past two weeks.  They are doing a number of tests on her blood to see if they can tell what's causing all of it.  Hopefully we'll have some answers soon or maybe she'll just get better!  Let's hope!  And pray!

But the weekend wasn't all full of sadness.  Aaron made supper for me on Saturday night.  He made huevos rancheros with some beans and tortillas.  It made me happy.
And the best part was last night when he surprised me with a date night!  He got a babysitter for us and took me out to the Olive Garden for a lovely dinner together.  We didn't do much else, but it sure was nice to get out and away for a little while and be a grown up again.  Many plans have been cancelled these past few weeks due to sickness, so I appreciated the extra effort Aaron took to brighten up my night.

A Tribute To My Mom

I am undertaking a three week challenge as a way of support for my dear mother.  I would include a picture here of her if I could, but she would not appreciate that (though I do have permission to write this post) Years ago, as a wee little lass, she had the misfortune of contracting polio.  While she was able to regain normal function and led a very normal life for most of her years, polio has reared its ugly head once more in her life, this time in the form of post-polio syndrome.  Click here for a link to just what post-polio is.  For those of you who prefer a one sentence summary of PPS, it's mainly a continual weakening of the muscles that were affected when polio was first contracted - it can range from mild to quite debilitating.  My mom has been struggling with full blown PPS for a couple of years now.  There is really no cure at all, few medicines to help, just learning to listen to your body in what it now has decided that it can no longer do and trying to keep your activ

Abby's New Look

Image
We've had a busy last week or so.  Here's some big news in Abby's life.  She lost her two front teeth. They came out about four days apart.  She truly lost the second tooth and wasn't able to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy apparently isn't as vigiliant about leaving money when there is no actual tooth to collect.  But after a few days, our tooth fairy remembered and finally slipped some money under Abby's pillow along with an extra quarter for having to wait so long for her to decide to show up.  At the same time, David had a tooth under his pillow for about three weeks waiting for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy finally had to visit during the day when he wasn't in his room, when she finally remembered to pick up the tooth.  It's hard on the tooth fairy to show up when David stays up later than the tooth fairy does these days.  Here's Abby's new look: She's also delighted with the fact that she doesn't ha
