Ellie

Well, it seems that Ellie is sick again. It's starting to really drive me crazy!! We've been dealing with this for about 6 months now. We've been to the doctor several times, even went as far as going to an infectious disease doc (which was a very scary place) with nothing conclusive. The last time she was sick like this was in October, Columbus Day. She runs a low grade fever, has body aches and threw up last time. Thankfully, we've not had to deal with her throwing up today, but who knows what the night has in store. I've decided to start a journal so I can keep up with how she feels on a daily basis so that maybe I'll have something concrete to go to the doctors with. A friend on FB suggested that her tonsills might be the cause of the problem. Who knows? It's so hard with little ones to know what's going on with them. That is probably the most frustrating thing about parenting. I thought it would be easier when she was older and could tell me what was hurting, but, no, it's not. Sometimes I wonder if she's complaining just to complain or if it really hurts. It's crazy.
Other than than, we had a great weekend. Got to go see Madagascar 2 with Ellie and Jeff (Fisher took a nap @ Mom's). It was really fun. Then Ellie had a sleepover at Gam's and I got some girlfriend time with my friend Andrea. We went and got our toes done, went to the pet store and got Shelly a new home with a heat lamp and dinner. We had a great time. Thanks, Andrea, for being my friend!! Get your blog up and running, Girl!
Well, I've got to be in court @ 8 in the morning, so I better get to bed. Hopefully Ellie will let us both get a good night's sleep. Nite nite.
