Whirlwind of Events!

I liked Amy's idea so much I decided to do it also. I got a little carried away and couldn't decide which pictures to put up, so there is a little of everything. This first picture is of me climbing a tree at my Memaws house. I put this one up mainly for the reason of showing people that think that Maddie looks like Josh, that she looks like me too. Yes she has Josh's features but come on, she is my daughter too! HEHEIm not sure if this was my Freshman or Sophmore year, but none the less its me in my prime at the State Track MeetThis is Amy and I hanging out at ASU. Can we say SKINNY?

This is Mallory and I at her house before she graduated.

This is some of the cross country team my Senior Year. I love the idea of me being in shape....to bad thats all history as well, lol.

And then there is my lovely husband Josh, this was him at his 4th birthday party. Dont you just love that curly long hair!

This is Josh's football picture, but I think this was his Freshman or Sophmore year because he was #1 his Junior and Senior Year. Once again...can we say SKINNY?

And then there is his team basketball picture, if you cant tell he is #21.

This is the highlight of his life...All smiles when he brings home a big buck!

That's the end of the Flashback pictures, but what fun it was to go through some old pictures!

On a bad note, Maddie was running a fever last Tuesday so Wednesday we took her into the doctor (it had got up to 103). We had been giving her Tylenol, but it was just making her temperature go on a roller coaster. So after seeing the doctor, they said her ears were clear..no ear infection, then they checked her throat and said it was a little red, so they did an emergency strep throat test...and they ruled that out. So they ended up having to draw blood and insert a cathader (not sure on the spelling) to get a urine sample. The doctor told us it was probobly just a virus, give her some motrin and lots of fluids...Ok....Then the next day they call to tell us that she has a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection)....WHAT!? How do children get these, because at first I just broke down thinking of any thing we could have done wrong...but then I realized that she is 14 months old and this is the first time she has been to the doctor other than routine check-ups, so we must be doing something right. So since she has the UTI we will be giving her antibiotics for 12 days then take her back to check her urine again. Then on the 17th we will be taking her in so they can put dye into her and do an xray so they can check to see if all her plumbing is working properly. (It should be because she uses the bathroom all the time, but better safe than sorry) So that has been stressing me out for the past few days, then on top of all of that!

Last night we went to Iraan to watch my cousin Shea play football and he got another concussion in the first quarter...He was very upset, let me rephrase that, he was down right mad. He could not remember anything about that days events, like when he got dressed, going to school, etc. He did remember peoples names though. Then after the game we were waiting outside the locker room and my Gran got really faint, sweaty, and kind of out of it. Everyone else had already left so Josh had to check her the best he could with little purse flashlights as his only light. I was so proud of him that he could do that...I mean thats alot of pressure when you have to work on someone that you know. He was amazing. We ended up calling the ambulance, because her head dropped twice (like it does when you are falling asleep) Josh started asking her questions and she would come back too, but he just wanted to be safe. She eventually came out of it (after throwing up and shedding alot of layers) She didnt leave with the ambulance since she was feeling better. So last night was very intense to say the least. My mom called today and said that they took Shea to his doctor and he will be out for a week for sure maybe longer, but he is ok. Gran is feeling fine today too.

Ok, so I think for now this post has been long enough, there will be more to come shortly!
