I'll start from the smallest and work my way up.
Maegan is doing just fine. She still has a cough from time to time, but it's finally easing up on her. Yesterday we got a scare though.. Stan was holding her, and while he was rubbing her little head, cooing to her, he found a lump on the back of her head. It's about the size of an olive, and feels like one of those pump knots that kids get when they get a bump on the head. Sarah panicked and took her to the E.R. There's no discoloration around the lump, no booboo, nothing. The lump, it turns out, is just part of poor Maegan's misshapen skull. She's officially a true knothead. *laughs with relief* The doc assured Sarah that Maegan's just fine and her little head will form correctly as she gets older. Thank God.
Joel is something else. Ever watch Friends? Remember how Joey on that show would see an attractive woman and lean against a wall or strike a pose, grin and then say in what he considered his 'sexy' voice, "How ya doin'?" I swear to you... Joel did that exact same thing to the lady at Sonic who brought out our order the other day. Then to the lady at the window of Krystal's yesterday. The lady from Sonic's didn't react to him, but his smile and flirtatious manner with the one from Krystal's scored him 2 free packs of Oreo cookies. Men. Even baby ones! Sheesh! *laughs*
Mallory wasn't feeling well for the past few days. When she came over night before last, the kid looked so bad to me, it scared me. Her little ribs were sticking out and she looked half starved.
Sarah took her back to the doctor yesterday, she'd lost 2 pounds in a week with that horrible 24 hour virus that Mikyla brought home from school last week. As an added bonus, she has Strep, and her little throat was just raw.. After the new round of antibiotics she started yesterday though, she's back to her normal self.. eating everything in sight, talking up a storm, (yes, still chattering at the walls when humans get tired of listening) so Thank God again, she's getting better. :)
Acey isn't with us this week, he's with his daddy. But he should be back next week. He was a doll last week though, he seemed to have a good time while he was here, and he didn't have so much as a sniffle! (Thank God)
Mikyla is Mikyla. She was feeling a little tired this evening when Sarah took her home. She hates mornings, they seem to suck the very life out of her. She's doing so well in school, I just can't believe it. She's read 2 books to me now and I'm as proud as can be of her!
Breanna spent the night last Friday night, and on Saturday we went out and got some leaves and stuff and made placemats. She had a good time and said we needed to do it more often. I don't know if she's coming back this weekend or not.. but I do know that I need a picture of her in it with the other 5 kids too. She's not been here when the rest of them are and when she was, they weren't. Bleah. She wasn't sick either. Not even a sneeze! Thank God!
Nick is doing VERY well in school. He's an official member of our Paranormal Investigation group, and he played sick on Halloween day. I say played because I don't believe he was really sick, I think *laughs* he just wanted to lay on the couch all day and watch the Halloween Horror movies on TV. I don't blame him, it's the only time TV gets good around here!
