On the Mend!

Well, if anyone would have told me how well Payton would do in her recovery, I would have never believed it!  She has done AMAZING!  Her fever never got above 99 and she said her pain level was never above a 4.  She slept very well and never once complained or cried.  What a tough little girl we have!

I stayed home with her on Tuesday and Wednesday as planned and then ended up staying home on Thursday and also keeping Aidan home as well.  I have had a sore throat for the past couple of weeks and it got so bad I couldn't stand to even swallow.  I went into the doctor on Wed and got an RX but it hasn't really helped.  Aidan was dx with an ear infection and also got an anti-biotic.  His fever is gone but his nose is like a little water facet...it never stops! 

Mike stayed home with Payton on Friday and I went back to work.  We had a good weekend.  Payton and I ran to Spirit Lake on Saturday to get some things for crafts we could work on.  It was her first day out of the house since her surgery.  She did well but tired very quickly.  On our way home we found a craft store and stopped and picked up a few really cute things.  Payton found a dress for her AG doll.  I got a shelf and accessories for my kitchen wall that has been bare for 3 years!  :)

We had a great Easter at home.  We woke up and the kids got to dig in their Easter baskets and they loved what the EB had brought.  I loved the oohs and aahhs from Aidan...he is so dramatic sometimes and it cracks me up!

We went to church then came home for lunch.  We had a great lunch and all got stuffed!  After lunch we headed outside to hide Easter Eggs.  It was the most GORGEOUS day we have had this spring.  We hung outside all afternoon.

Monday was a vacation day for the kids so they got to go to Ellen's.  Payton and Carson were very excited because they don't get to go there often during the school year.  Payton wasn't feeling great and was really tired all day.  She came home and slept most of the afternoon.  All three kids were bathed and in bed by 7:30!!

Today was Payton's first day at school and overall had a great day.  She just tired very easily again...when I went to pick her up at school, I could see how thin she looked...even thinner than normal!  I weighed her when we got home and she has lost almost 5 lbs!  Hopefully she will start to eat better and gain some weight!

Well, that is our week in a nutshell!  Here are some pics!
