Sickness


The winter sniffles are here. Aubrey had a fever for two days, so I took her in and her ears were clogged full of hard wax--they couldn't even check for infection. So I have to use Debrox ear drops to help soften the wax, and if she doesn't get better in a few days, go back to the doctor. What was odd is that she had a HEART MURMUR! The doctor says it's common when kids have a fever and are dehydrated, but if it's still there after she's sick, they'd need to do an ultrasound on her heart! It's extremely rare, but sometimes kids can get infections of the heart. Let's hope that lots of water and sleep will help Aubrey! Even sick, she still loves reading books, kissing, and playing patty-cake with Zach. She's such a fantastic big sister.

Janae..to answer your questions from my blog.. I lived in Rexburg from about 7th grade on through Ricks (yes, I got my associates there). I don't have any family there anymore, but we're actually taking a trip there tomorrow. We are going to see the new Temple. :)Yea!

I hope Aubrey feels better soon. I've never heard of that happening. I hope it doesn't turn into anything serious.
