The scoops . . .

Sorry for being a little, wee tiny bit MIA.  Been trying my best to visit y'alls blogs when I can and try to leave comments too.  I hadn't been creating either since my DD's been sick .  .  . thank you to those that had concerns and shot me emails to inquire.  I appreciate you thinking of me and my DD. 

Since Saturday evening, DD had ran a fever.  I took her to the doctor to have her checked out and they were able to run some tests.  Boy, this visit was so hard for me . . . without getting into graphic details, a catheter was inserted to retrieve a urine sample.  When you hear your child screaming and yelling for you, doesn't that just break your heart?  I was asked to leave the room and wanted to cry!  Long story short, DD has a viral infection.  She's getting better with each passing day, but she's still "out of it" if you know what I mean.  She's beginning to eat again, still sleeping a lot, and we're seeing glimpses of her normal personality coming back.  Here's a pic I took the other day . . .


Poor DD broke out in rash due to the infection!  The majority of it was on her face, back, and front. 

I finally got some energy to get some thank you cards done . . . long over due!  Since I had a bunch to make, I used my Ketto stamp (not too much to color) and made simple cards. 




Come back tomorrow okay.  I was on a roll and made 2 other cards . . . yeah, went to sleep really, really late and paying for it now!  :)

  9. Oh Mama, I am so sorry to hear that your daughter is sick! Poor baby, I hate it when children are sick, it is very hard to take at times and I can truly relate to how you feel. Thank goodness she is starting to feel better and back to eating. Take care and I hope each day continues to be a better one.

  21. Hi Mama,

    I am so sorry that DD is feeling yucky and I am sure you feel bad right along with her. So sad when we cannot comfort them and we just want to take the pain from them. I am so sorry for the late reply as I have been so busy that I just got to your blog. Hope things have settled and hope to see you and your beautiful family soon.

    Blessing sent to you.
