Ambulances, Scooting, and Fang.

Since the last blog...


-we lost all the food in our deep freeze (an honest mistake but still not fun).


- Bibby has started to scoot. Almost a crawl, she moves around by pulling herself forward with her arms and dragging her legs behind her. She looks silly but she is content for now. Because of this we have had to re-baby proof our home. We knew it was coming but it still is always a shock how quickly she gets into everything! She cut both of her middle fingers on the heater (her first bloody wound). Apparently the heat elements are tiny and very sharp, not just hot. I need to develop a set of eyes in every room.


- All three girls have a cold. Bel's turned vicious last night and caused her to have to take a trip in an ambulance with really bad croup. Her indrawing (her throat and abdomen sucking in because she can't get enough air) was really scary. The worst was having to hug her and then let her go with Po in the ambulance while I stayed home with the other 2. I had no idea how bad she was or if they were taking her to the clinic in town or the full hospital an hour away. Not fun. She came home an hour later with her very own nebulizer (a mask connected to ventilin and saline) so if she had another attack we could take care of it at home. We are now wondering if the wheezing the anesthetist heard when he was putting her under for surgery might have been mild croup or worse asthma. We are hoping to see her family dr today and maybe even the ENT before her sugery on the 2nd of April. She didn't have to use the nebulizer last night but she did get sick to her tummy (yuck 2 barfing episodes within a week between Bel and Bean).


- Oh yeah, Fang...Bibby has 3 teeth on the bottom and 2 on top. She has the middle 2, plus one on the side down below. But on top she only has her eye teeth in. Very funny. Po's ancestors are believed to have come from Transylvania , Romania (yes, the home of Dracula. No joke!). So we have our very own "Fang"!

Here are some photos from the early and very long morning that Bel almost got her tonsils out...

It's so awesome to see these pics again! When you write it all our like that Mo, I realize just how horrible these last couple of weeks have been. But, here we are, still kicking! God is good, but sometimes I wonder what He's thinking.
