Updates

I haven't done that great in February in keeping up with my posts. In one post, I mentioned that my Grandma Strickland was here since she was without electricity. Well, mama took her back Friday. She was home sick but did not get lights until that day. That was almost 3 weeks that she was without power and she lives in a city of about 25,000 people.
I took her to get her stitches out of her thumb this past Tuesday. Dr. Young told her it looked good and to keep doing what she was doing to it. That was good news because I thought it looked bad and he asked me what I thought a broke thumb with stitches should look like. Smart alec!
It was good to have her here even though it wasn't under the best of circumstances. We were happy to have her since it's been maybe 10 years since she has been here. She spent the night with us last weekend and stayed home with Sara when she was home sick on Monday. The kids enjoyed having her.
Maggie is doing great after her surgery. She perked right back up after the first week. We took her back for her check up and had her stitches out the next week with no trouble at all. Now she is ready to go see Mrs. Vickie, have a bath and get a hair cut.
Sara has been sick. She had about 102 degree fever all last weekend. She felt awful until the Motrin kicked in and then she was ok. Then it would wear off and the fever would come back. I took her to the bus on Monday. She had what they said it seemed everyone in this area had.....something viral that would just have to run its course. So she felt pretty crummy last week and really tired everyday after school. I am glad she is feeling back to her old self.
Andrew, thank the Lord, hasn't been sick. He had a pretty great week. He aced his Biology and Geometry tests. It stresses him a little! He tends to worry! Wonder where he got that?
Dusty and I have been doing the same ole, same ole. Work, sleep and kids! But it's fun (most of the time) and we only complain a bit. HAHA
I think that covers everything.........

I'm glad everyone is feeling better. Jayce got something viral that the doc said would run its course. When Lakyn came down with the same symptoms the following week, I figured it was the same thing. She ended up in the hospital for 2 days. It seems to have been a rough winter for everyone. Hopefully, all this mess is done and over with!
