Sick little girl

Today is day 4 with a sick little girl.  My heart hurts to see her in pain when she coughs.  She is coughing so hard she is almost making herself sick. 

It's hard as a mom when you can't do anything for your child.  She is already on 2 antibiotics and we are giving her cough meds and Tylenol when needed.  She isn't able to go to school today and can't jump on our brand new trampoline.  When she gets going and gets excited, she starts coughing like crazy.

At this point, all I can do is hug here, love here and pray for her to get better quickly.

April

Well we started off the month with another surgery for my dad.  This time things went much better but had some random bleeding that they couldn't get to stop and then of course he fainted but was luckly at the hospital.  He is now home and recovering.

We also celebrated my nephews birthday and he is now 2.  The youngest of the four kids between me and my sister and it makes me sad that they are all growing up so quickly.

We also bought our kids a trampoline this weekend.  Something I have been meaning to get the kids for the past year and finally got it.  We have had soo much fun on it already and it's only day 1!

Since we are in April now, we should be seeing some thunderstorms now which I love and everything is turning green and that is my favorite color.  This also means that my kids have a little less than 2 months left of school and I will soon have a 2nd grader and a pre-K.  That is a little hard to digest.

I am also in the planning stages of all of our summer activities.  It will include a trip to Iowa for my nieces graduation, a camping trip with some of our best friends and a trip to Canada.  Working on passports now so hopefully things will go smoothly because we are a bit behind on them.
