Madalyn's Hives Return
When I was leaving school this afternoon, I had a message from Mrs. Katie to call her. This afternoon Madalyn broke out in hives again, but far worse than the time before. She said she was hot to touch, was running a small fever, and looked like she had been painted red. You can see little bumps all over her body and feel them too. She called the doctor and they said to give her benadryl and our doctor decided to go ahead and make a referral for an allergist. One thing that I did notice was that Madalyn started pears on Saturday and Sunday she was broken out. She had not had pears since Sunday and had them at lunch today. So I don't know if there's a connection with the pears, but no more pears for her for awhile. They also said that this wasn't a reaction to her shots she had on Monday. So hopefully, we will get some answers soon with the allergist.

LIFE
Life is....
PRecious......Short.....SWEET.....Unpredictable....WondERful......SAD......Happy.....ETC.
We are so blessed beyond our wildest dreams to have all that we have. We are blessed to have a healthy, loving, family. Every day we need to cherish our time with our loved ones, we never know when God will call us home. So much sickness and sadness around, it's very easy to get depressed with all that is going on in the world. It's harder to have faith in God and remind our self and believe that He is in control, but He is. I'm so thankful He is, what a comfort that is. Take time every day to be thankful for what you have. As the old saying goes "True Happiness is wanting what you have; not wanting what you don't have." Each sun rise is a new beginning and a chance to start over and make that day right. Each sun set is a reminder of the blessing that we had to have been alive for that day.
Current Prayer Requests:
Prayer Request: A fifth grader a my school is waiting on a heart transplant. She's been waiting for about 3 weeks now. Pray that one comes soon and her body will accept the heart.
Prayer Request: My father-in-law is in Africa for the week. He will start His journey home Saturday and will be home Sunday. He said that he wanted to see God do a miracle while He was in Africa.
Prayer Request: Some big things are happening in my school district and it's got everything in turmoil; pray for guidance, wisdom, clarity, and peace.

6 Month Check Up
Last week, Madalyn had her 6 month check up for her hips. The doctor said that everything looked good and she didn't have to come back unless we had problems. Today, she had her regular 6 month check up. Here are her results:
-27 3/4 inches long (95%)
-17.4 pounds (75%)
-15 inches head (50%)
-She got two shots and an oral vaccine today. She didn't like the first shot and really didn't like the last one. (The nurse said that the last one the medicine burned).
-We were told to get ready to baby proof our house; that she will be moving soon!
-She can up her intake of solid foods and move to stage 2. She is also to start going to a sippy cup instead of a bottle.
Yesterday at Hunter's party I noticed that she had broken out again on her back and stomach. The doctor said that this was eczema this time instead of hives. So she gave us some lotion to try and see if we can get it cleared up. If not, then she will have to see an allergist. She got a good report today and we are so thankful for a healthy and happy baby. She goes back in January for her 9 month check up. My baby girl is growing up too fast!
You can see her pink camo band aid. She has one on each leg. Poor baby!

Madalyn Trying to Crawl
This may not be the most entertaining video but it will show you how Madalyn is trying to crawl.
Saturday
We have a happy baby in the mornings-what a great way to spend our Saturday!
She's all ready for the big game! I actually got to take a nap and when I woke up Madalyn had on her jersey and so did Abby. I didn't get Abby's picture.
