Autonomic Dysfunction and International Relations

What a difference a week makes…Last week was filled with a trip to the DuPont ER, a sick visit to our pediatrician, several stops to our local pharmacy,  a lot of sleepless nights, worrisome days, a really “good” appointment with a new doctor at DuPont, all of our usual activities minus Lucy’s  music class and therapies, and ended with our little red head covered from head to toe in some...

Getting better but still not great…

Lucy’s fevers have come down, she continues to hover around  100.8 to 101.2 degrees.  Motrin is working beautifully to bring the fevers down, but now it is her belly that  is acting “off”.  She is not interested in eating any Cheerios, she even put one in her mouth only to take it right back out…so uncharacteristic  for our little Cheerio addict.  When speaking yesterday...

Just a quick update…

Lucy is still experiencing fevers, not as high as they were, but still over 101 degrees.  I brought her in to see our pediatrician this morning and honestly she looked better while were there then she had all weekend… go figure.  I had given her Motrin at 6:00am and her fever was still down at 10:30 when we arrived at her office.  After looking her over, her ped and I felt relieved...

Happy Valentines Day?

Love, not the romantic kind that one typically associates with Valentines Day more like the kind of love you have for your child when they are sick and worrying you so, is in the air at our house.  It is our littlest cupid, the one with the red hair and beautiful blues eyes, that is weighing heavy on our hearts.  Lucy is sick, she has been acting “off” since Thursday.  By Saturday night...

We’re in the midst of a blizzard!

It’s snowing again… technically we are experiencing a blizzard.  It has been snowing for more then 24 hours and we have more than 40 inches of snow on the ground, not all from this storm, this is a total from the two storms!  Where are we going to put all of it?   We’re not really sure, but I think that my husband may have some ideas-ha.  We are all home safe and warm, the...

It’s snowing like crazy!

It is beautiful outside!   The snow is falling at about an inch an hour, we feel like we are on the inside of a snow globe.  It is blowing and drifting and really difficult to see how much snow has actually fallen, there is easily eighteen inches on the ground.  The snow started falling here at around 4:00pm yesterday, the kids had an early dismissal so that the buses would...

Apparently we need to be bracing for a storm…

It’s February on the East Coast and big surprise…they are forecasting a huge snow storm.  Every big snow storm that we have experienced in our eight years of living out here has happened in either December or February, and almost always on a weekend.   I have been told that we are getting anywhere from 18-24 inches, these estimates seem to be changing by the hour so I guess we’ll just...
