This week was excruciatingly slow. Christi spent the whole week in bed sick with bronchitis, well most of it. Naya is also having a difficult time with the baby, in the picture below she crawled into a box covered herself up and then proceeded to pretend to be a baby. All week long she has insisted she is a baby and refused to do any big kid skills like the potty and her pacifier which she had almost stopped. Please help us to remind Naya of all the cool big kid thing she gets to do now and encourage her to be a big gril.

Monday was as normal as ever even though Christi didn't feel good everyone went to their respective daytime activities. Christi was babied at work due to the pregnancy and sounding and feeling sick. You have to love Hispanic Grandma's.

Tuesday brought Christi calling in to work but didn't stay home real well, instead she tagged along with Donna and Naya running errands and then dropped Donna and the girls at dance. While they were dancing she took Dreigan to the Cardiolab at SJRMC to have an EKG. Don't worry it just a standard test for his cardiology appointment on Thursday.

Wednesday brought Christi feeling worse, probably should have stayed home on Tuesday. In fact by the time Nick got home that evening Christi was wheezing so bad he promptly loaded everyone back up in the van and took Christi to ICC. Thanks Cathy and Steve for watching the kids. Christi's o2 levels were low but not bad. She was order to stay home the rest of the week and placed on antibiotics.

Thursday Dreigan had his routine Cardiology appointment. Everything looks good he doesn't have to been seen again for two years, and he can stay on his meds. Good thing his teacher might have revolted if we took him off. Please pray for Dreigan he hasn't seen Dextin (his biological Dad) in a while and he is feeling it. I know he is grieving, but it doesn't make the angry outbursts any better. It can be very hard on Nick who takes the brunt of it for multiple reasons.

Friday and Saturday brought more rest for Christi who is finally beginning to feel better. Nick, Dreigan and Fionna also worked to clean up the shed so that Fionna and Naya can use it as a play house. Which reminds me last week Sam's club had a wooden child's play house for about $300 would we like to buy Fionna one big present this year for her birthday? She was very excited by it.
