Ahh Choo

Annie woke up with clogged sinuses this morning, so we bagged school and therapy, and drove down to the doctor to say hello. Her ears & chest are clear, so we'll just wait this bug out and see what happens. I need to get flu shots for everyone in the house soon. By the time I think about it each year, it's pretty late in the game, but we'll get them anyway.

Let me give you a brief update:

Sleep: We're still getting up with her for an hour each night around 3 AM. You'd think after the seventh kid I'd have this sleeping thing down. I do actually--it's Annie who needs to be remediated.

Blood Pressure: It's been down to normal ranges occasionally, and down to reasonable ranges usually--an answer to prayer!

Seizures: She has alot of them when she's got a cold. I think this cold is the second one this month. Not good.

Nurse at School: We still don't have one, but I'm rethinking the whole school thing. She's getting sick too much. Pray that I have wisdom about what to do.

Other stuff: Annie continues to smile when I sing her favorite songs, and she gave Bill a huge grin the other day...I forget what for. She screamed alot this morning, but was much more calm this afternoon. Except when I made her do some exercises. I really need to alert the neighbors when we start doing exercises.

Anyway--not much earth-shattering news. Thanks for praying that she get over this cold, and that she sleep...and thanks again for all your posts and prayers. :)

Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail;
thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.
