Busy in the New Year

The new year has been so busy. I always think I'm going to get so much accomplished when things calm down. Yet somehow things never calm down. We just go from one situation to the next. The kids are still sleeping poorly. Ashley had sinus surgery last week. The anticipation of the surgery was very stressful for us, but the surgery itself went very well. We are just praying that this solves a lot of her health problems. She has to go in for another minor procedure in two weeks. She is also currently really fighting a yeast infection ( due to all the antibiotics from the sinus infections). Josh had to be taken to the emergency room this week because he had a tiny paper cut (we think) that got infected. He got a streak going from his finger all the way up his arm and the whole finger and arm was swollen and hot. He had to miss the rest of the day of school and wrestling practice. We have to give him oral antibiotics four times daily for the next couple of weeks. Are you kidding me?? It was a paper cut. It didn't even bleed. He had a great time though. He got to miss school, go to the ER, get blood drawn, (For some reason my son loves getting shots and having blood drawn. I think it is for the prize in the end. He literally begs for a shot every time we go to the doctor.)and have lunch with Dad and Mom by himself. What a way to start the new year!
