A Fun Date/A Not So Normal Week

Mallory, Miles, and I were very excited to have tickets to see Disney On Ice. We went with Gail, Jared, Josh, and Abby and had so much fun. The seats were great and the skaters were entertaining as well. The show went through The Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, The Lion King, and Lilo and Stitch. Mallory and Miles were very excited to see Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy too. Lots of fun for us!

At the souvenir shop Mallory chose this Tinkerbell doll and Miles (much to my dismay) chose Peter Pan's sword...oh help me here! Needless to say he has had fun with that sword. Unfortunately Miles was a little camera shy and did not want me to take a picture of him with his new possession:(.

This week we have been out of our normal routine. Mallory woke up on Monday night wheezing and hardly able to breathe. We gave her one of Miles' breathing treatments and I ended up taking her to the ER. She took Plumpy, her bear, with her and the quilt her Grandma J made for her when she was two. Before the doctor came in she said, "Mommy there are worser things that could be wrong with me." I about cried because at that point she was having problems talking and breathing a little too.

Everyone we came in contact with was wonderful. The doctor came in and after a breathing treatment, motrin, and steroids, she was ready to come home (a total of two hours).

I stayed home with her on Tuesday and Wednesday she was with Mom. This morning Ryan and I decided to keep her home one more day. She was anything but happy with this decision but I still feel it was the right one because she is still coughing here and there and her nose is running like a faucet. Poor babydoll! She is very disappointed because tonight after school is Jump Rope for Heart for the American Heart Association and she has been practicing her jumproping just for this event. It sure is hard when our children have to learn disappointment. Ryan and I are hopeful that tomorrow we will be back to normal and all on our regular routines.
