My poor sweet baby girl!

G4 has a cough. Last night it got worse. Today I took her to the doctor for it. Doctor said it was acute viral bronchitis. He ordered an x-ray. He also said he heard a heart murmur and ordered an EKG. So sad!

Here she is getting her EKG:

Here she is for the x-ray:
She did so well. No tears from her at all, can't say the same thing about Mommy though! She cooperated with everyone. She even thanked them after they finished. Such a sweetie!

EKG got sent to Peoria and won't know anything for a couple days probably. X-ray shows she has a touch of pneumonia. :-( I hate when my babies are sick! Right now we are just doing breathing treatments. We will take her back in 3 weeks to make sure she is better. If her doctor still hears a murmur then we will see a specialist.

*Post-edit: Doctor's office just called (Wednesday 1/26/11) EKG was normal.

First Report Card

On Friday The Boy brought home his first report card. So exciting!! Some of the things on it I do not believe are accurate, but such is life. He is doing well.

I was going to scan it in, but I didn't get that done, so I took pictures of it. It isn't the easiest to read but it is readable. If you click on the pictures it will enlarge them and you can see them better.

Check out how many sight words he knows compared to how many they expect him to know:

2010 was a pretty good year, although it was a very emotionally trying year for me personally. I am hoping 2011 is an awesome year for us and everyone else.

I know I am behind on posting my photo a day pictures and posting for everything else. If I had more hours in every day then I might be able to stay caught up more. But that can't happen so I do my best. Be patient with me.
