Staph Infection

Sorry to disappoint...no pictures this time! I think this is the first time I've posted just text on her blog since she was born! Anyway, just thought I'd do an update on Brynn's health issues for the week. Her croup seems to be getting better. She is just coughing now, but not wheezing anymore. The last day of her steroids is tomorrow...just in time to start antibiotics for a staph infection! Remember the "raging diaper rash?" Well, that resulted in a staph infection in her diaper area. Poor 'lil thing. Hopefully this will all clear up soon.

I've gotten a few calls and e-mails from family members as a result of yesterday's post, so thanks for all your concern and support for Brynn! We do appreciate everyone thinking of her. I'm sure she'll be all better soon.

And she did get quite a few valentines today. So, I'm off to go raid the candy stash!

Also, if you are bored and really looking for some reading material, here is a short list of the germfest we encountered at the walk-in clinic tonight during our wait...

1. Musical Table/Toy. (Brynn has one at home and LOVES it. So, she immediately recognized this right away and tried to get over to it. Mean Mama wouldn't let her touch the germ-ridden thing, though. It didn't even look clean!)

2. They have a fish tank in the waiting area. Brynn also loves to watch the fish...and touch her hand to the glass; not unlike the 300 sick kids prior to her. :-P

3. Random girl with a cast on hobbled over to us with one of those freaky soft-quilled squishy balls (sorry, that's my best description) and tried to give it to me. It had a hair on it. Later I saw her put it in her mouth. Ack!

4. Same random girl hobbles over and pulls out Brynn's sippy cup from our diaper bag by the spout and proceeds to put her lips on it! Double ack!

5. She threw three toys on the floor.

Sorry; not to rag on medical facilities. We need them! It was just too many humorous germy encounters not to share. Thanks for humoring me.

Happy 10th Birthday, Clara!

Clara made a countdown chain to her 10th birthday. We baked a red velvet cake for her family party and chocolate cupcakes for her friend party. She looks so tall in some of these pics! Izabell's boyfriend, Neil, and Clara share the same birthday, so they all went out for lunch on their actual birthday on the 2nd. And then Neil had to get a tour of the Clara Express. Dana was in charge of getting balloons for the party and I sent him to Dollar Tree which apparently doesn't fill latex balloons, only Mylar. Dana "just knew" he had gotten the 'wrong' ones, and called me in a fit of rage over it and then followed up with this photo. haha. It all worked out just fine for Clara's ninja themed parties and I was able to pick up a few more black latex balloons from Cash Wise on my way home from work. Clara had already started partying at Prairie Joy's birthday party the night before, so I think she was short on sleep. I couldn't find her when I got home on F...

Mom + Brynn Take Chicago 2024

Brynn and I were very excited to embark on our mother-daughter trip to Chicago this week. We had gifted Brynn part of the trip as her sweet 16 birthday gift. We flew direct out of Fargo on Wednesday. We stayed at the Grand Plaza apartments on State Street in a VRBO rental. We loved it there! The building had an outdoor rooftop pool, library, gaming/movie room and gym on the 9th floor. This was us looking down from our 50th floor balcony. I refused to go to the edge of the balcony. Blech. (Photo credit: Brynn on this one!) Here are a few pics of inside the apartment that I hawked off of the VRBO listing. We got our things settled and ran next door to a Jewel Osco grocery for a few things and then got ready for dinner at River Roast along the Chicago River. It was very good and beautiful weather. I think Brynn said this was her favorite place that we ate at. Our waiter Jorge brought Brynn a carrot cake when we said we were celebrating Brynn's birthday on the trip. We came back to the...

End of Summer

Nanny Izabell was done with us mid-August as she got a full-time job. We had another great summer with her and she and Clara accomplished a lot from their summer bucket list. Clara busted out the kite Dad bought for her in Myrtle Beach. She really had fun with it. Dana with the crew from Dude's Weekend. You can see brother John third in from the left. With Izabell's departure, Clara went to stay at Grandpa and Grandma Dietz's. She spent some time at the lake and in Carrington. Dana FaceTimed Clara's swim meet she participated in while I was in Chicago so I could watch and cheer her on. She won both races she was in and overall for the categories she competed in. It was very exciting! She was home for a bit and then off again, this time to Grandpa and Grandma Froemmings'! But first, one last swim sesh in for the year...with Adria! Brynn babysat for Clara's friends and they made this cute sign. Grandma Holly surprised Clara with a visit by Dana's cousins kids ...
