February in Review

It seems as February flew by in some ways and drug on forever in others. Most of February it seems was spent in doctor offices for one thing or another, but I think we are all finally on the mend.

The first week in February I had some numbness in my leg that would not go away. My whole leg was numb and it was killing me. My OB's office sent me to the hospital to have a test to rule out a blood clot. All turned out fine and my leg has since gotten all feeling back except for a time here or there. Harper must just like to sit on a nerve sometimes.

After that episode, Kendall started with a runny nose and fever and stayed out of school for 3 days. He was getting better, so I sent him to school, and then his fever spiked to 104 one Sunday and would not come down even with Motrin. I took him to urgent care, and he ended up having Strep throat. They started him on antibiotics that he would not take. He spit them out every time, so he really didn't get better. We ended up having to take him back to the dr. last Saturday and he had an ear infection (in the ear the tube came out of) He was put on a different antibiotic and finally takes his last dose tomorrow. Poor kid has been on antibiotics pretty much the entire month of February. Last Sunday Kasey went to the dr. thinking he had strep throat, but it turned out just to be some upper resp. infection and they gave him a couple shots and sent him home with 10 days of antibiotics. I don't know how I have escaped from all this, but somehow I did and am very thankful for it. Must be the prenatal vitamins!

In between all the sickness, we did have a couple good days. We had one weekend where it was very warm, and we took Kendall to the park and he flew his kite. We also had Valentine's Day and I made Kendall some special heart shaped toast with butter and jelly on it. He really enjoyed it.

Here are a few pictures from February. Kendall turned 32 months in February too. I can't believe how close to 3 he is!
