Monday Update

Hi Friends and Family,

Julia woke us up early this morning crying and complaining of pain in her left ear. She also had some bug bites that were really itching and infected (swollen). She cried off and on most of the morning until her doctor appointment (11:00). Our doctor found that she has a severe ear infection. So, she is now on Amoxicillin for the infection and Benadryl for the bug bites and was already feeling better by the end of the day today. We are starting to feel like a Pharmacy here keeping track of all of Michelle's meds - and now Julia's meds.

Michelle got her stitches out of her leg today. There was no infection and all looked well there. She is also getting some strength back in her legs. Her arms still burn when she uses them, but they are ok at rest (this is an improvement). Nana has also noticed an increase in Michelle's energy since she has been here, so we're thankful for even small improvements.

A HUGE Thanks to Traci for coming here and watching Jaclyn today while Julia was at the doctor's office!! Jaclyn had a blast playing with the boys and Julia too when she got home!

Jack
