Last week...

was quite the week!
 
Ranen had quite a bad cold/cough which passed to Owen...
he seemed to take it pretty hard so I took him
to the walk-in clinic at our doctor's office.
Owen was busy crawling about, trying to walk from chair to chair
and I was thinking - why did I come here??  But I stayed.
Dr. Quentin Smith, so so fortunate to have him as our family doc!,
says to me "you need to take him to emerg!"
and I was like huh? he ain't that sick!!
(hospital phone shots...)
 
But yes, he has bronchiolitis (inflamed small airways in the lungs)
and if not treated it has the potential of turning into RSV.
So thankful for great knowledge and great help...
Thursday afternoon/evening turned into
chest x-rays, blood work and the nebulizer.
With a followup appointment on Friday morning,
to the pediatrician, Dr. Ebesh, we are now rigged up with a
nebulizer at home - 3x per day treatment for 10 days...
 
This is what it usually looks like:

evey treatment we have a few more moments like this....
Our little trooper!!

 Daddy has been crazy busy! first cut, grass planting, spreading manure,
cleaning chicken barns, plowing, etc etc
 
Our house is ready to tenants to move in!!  Yay!!

My favourite girl... :)

 Ranen and I went outside for a little 'photo shoot'
... not easy to get her to look at the camera!!!
(I wanted a little practice in harsh, bright sunlight - not easy!!!)
 
 
 

 
Love you - munchkin - even with your attitude!!!
- at least you will never be classified as a pushover! lol -
 
My diseased dogwood tree still produces something camera worthy
- it's last ditch effort to "please don't rip me out!! -

Pre-bedtime Fun!

Our excitement around here...
 
 
 if only mommy would let her sit in there all day she would be SO happy!!

 Owen - a safe distance from eye poking and tail pulling!! lol
 

 
So much fun - 10 puppies to play with!!
The kiddos LOVE it... :)
 
A week and a half and they should have there shots...
