Thrush still

Well, we still have thrush. Raquelle really hated the purple stuff. She gagged and screamed and so I only did it the one day hoping that it would kill the thrush in one shot. NO such luck. It came back in full force this weekend while I was up in Washington. It started coming back on Saturday and by Sunday I was ready to switch her totally to formula. So, Up in WA we went and bought another bottle of the purple stuff and this time, even though she hates it, we will do all three doses. I really hope the purple clears up by Easter! Last time, we did really good. She only got it in her mouth and a little on her lips. This time, it's all accross her entire face. Poor thing. I did figure out that washing her face with milk helps to fade the purple though. Hopefully after this we will be done with it and it won't come back. If it does come back again...I think we'll have to make another trip to the dr to find out what to do next because I'm running out of ideas.

Putting vaseline around her mouth before you administer the purple paint also helps... then the initial drool doesn't stain. I never tried it, but it's worth a shot!

Aww, I'm sorry Becky. Thrush is so nasty. I've heard of the vaseline trick - Patty laughed when she saw Mikayla purple from nose to chin and told me about it. It might be worth a try, but maybe not worth it if she throws a fit about yet another thing added to her mouth. I hope it works this time!

Almost a decade!

 I have not posted anything on this blog in about 9 years!  The kids are growing up, and last night, as teenagers, Kezzy came across this blog.  “Mom!!! You have a blog?  Can I read it?”  Since then, she and Titus have been reading everything on here, reminiscing about how cute they were when they were little.  It got me thinking that maybe I should resurrect this old blog!  I have another child now (Theo) who was never even mentioned in any previous posts, and very little is on here about Annabelle and Philemon!  I’ll have to think about what I want to write about, now that the kids are older.  In the mean time, here is a new picture of my now much more grown up children.  This picture is of me and the kids on Mothers Day.

Raquelle is here!

Raquelle Elizabeth was born Sunday March 5th at 5:49 AM after 41 hours of labor! I was sent home from the hospital 3 times Friday and Saturday because I was not making very fast Progress. Contractions started out 3 min apart Friday at noon and got really strong by about 11 am on Saturday. I could no longer stand the pain so they had to keep me this time. By 4 pm I was at 3.5 cm and Contractions were 2 to 3 min apart, and so strong I was shaking uncontrolably through them. So I begged for an epi (gave up on going natural after the first 28 hours). The epi was the most traumatic part of the whole thing. As they were putting it in, my blood pressure dropped dangerously low and they had to rip it out and give me two shots of epinephrin to raise it back up and then start over. The 2nd try, they put the needle in too deep and punctured the fluid behind the epidural cavity, which caused the fluid between my brain and spinal cord to start leaking. This causes horrible migrain headaches that th...

The Dream Giver

I haven't written in a while, but as I start to toy with the idea of moving away from facebook, I find myself toying with the idea of reactivating this old blog.  I'm not sure what direction it will take.  Perhaps an overview of things I am learning?  Perhaps cute stories about the kids and every day life?  Maybe an occasional allergy friendly recipe... I don't know.  For now, I am a firm believer in life long learning and mentorship.  I strive to discipline my brain and my personal development daily with books I read, what I watch or listen to, Bible studies, and people I hang out with.  I just finished reading the book "The Dream Giver" by Bruce Wilkinson, the author of "The Prayer of Jabez."  I was surprised at how much I really enjoyed this  book! A short overview.  "The Dream Giver" is about a "nobody" named "Ordinary" who lives in the land of "familiar."  Every day, he wakes up and goes to the same job.  ...
