Today's highs and lows

Today has been a pretty good day despite a very rough night last night. Sissy had been running a low fever for the last couple of days, but last night it was spiking around 105. She was burning up and clearly uncomfortable but otherwise showed no symptoms. It just so happened that her 12 month well check was scheduled for early this morning, so we waited it out through the night with lots of motrin, cool washcloths, tears, a midnight call to a triage nurse and not a lot of sleep. But when morning came, she was happy as a lark. At her doctors visit, he decided that she had a little virus that was going around and she would be fine in a day or two. crisis averted.

The biggest Low for today...

finding this.

..the shirt I made for Sissy for this coming Fall :(    I found it in my sewing closet this afternoon. After a brief internal meltdown, I tried to cheer myself up by thinking, "well, I'll just save it for next time I get pregnant" only to remember that it will be a little small for her by then.



The Highs for Today were much more plentiful.

I have had numerous friends call to check on me,  a friend brought a Sonic drink and lunch for my kids to me, a friend offered babysitting/playdate for Max while I took Adlee to the doctor, and so many sweet emails. I always look forward to getting those. I also was able to get in my sewing room for a while when both kids were napping. I know it might seem extremely trivial in light of other things going on, but crafting/sewing has always been therapeutic for me. Something about creating something out of nothing and having a finished project to show for it. Here are some new additions to Sissy's wardrobe.

Tomorrow we are meeting with my OB/GYN to discuss everything that we learned from the specialist. We are hoping he will be able to answer the millions of questions we have formed over the last couple of days and provide some clarity on what we can expect in the weeks and months ahead.
