What a week!

Last week Patyon, Addison and I got the stomach flu... Yuck! We had a house full of guests for Payton's birthday party (which we had to cancel), but fortunately no one else got sick. Brian dodged that bullet by being out of town. Thank goodness for that! Sunday Brian went to the vikings/lions game in the cities, and I tried to rest and recover at home after all our company left. It really took a lot out of me! By Tuesday I was back to normal and so were the girls.... They have been just bickering back and forth. Payton (our emotional/dramatic kid) has been very whiny and sassy. Wednesday she spent quite a bit of time in her room. Addison is usually pretty laid back, but she has been just whiny and clingy other than when she is yelling or fighting with Payton.

Today we went for Payton's recheck after being put on her inhaler. She is now going to be on Flovent once a day, probably just through the winter and then we will see how she does. We will still use the Albuterol as she needs it, which should be just when she is sick. Her cough has really improved, but it isn't completely gone so her doctor thinks this is the way to get her lungs healthy again. And because she is diagnosed with asthma now she was able to get her H1N1 vaccine today in the office and because Addison is only 2 she was eligible too. So it was a good and bad day. I truly felt like we had won the lottery when her doctor recommended the vaccine and then told me they still had doses available! Lets hope with the upcoming holidays that the big illnesses with stay away from our house...
