So, How's That For a Birthday Weekend....?!?

     So, I am sure based on my previous posts that pretty much EVERYONE knows that my daughter Ella turned 2 years old this past Saturday.

     What was suppose to be a weekend of celebration suddenly turned into a cause for isolation and disinfectant.  A week ago both of the kids had microplasm pneumonia.  They each had 3 medicenes that eventually did their job and got them well:) BUUUUUUUUUT, just as I tooted my own horn about "seeing the signs of early sickness in the kids and knowing its best not to wait till they feel worse to see a dr."....I started feeling bad and running fever.  And as you can prob guess I didn't heed my own advice until Friday when Iswore I had the flumonia.  So i went to KMC and got a flu swab..it was - ,thank goodness.  The doctor then gave me the once over to fig out WHAT was really going on...eventual diagnosis: Microplasm Pneumonia (hope I spelled that correctly).  That was last Friday-the day of Ella's 2nd birthday and the day before her birthday party.  Obviously, we knew it was contagious since the kids had it then I got it.  So, we made the decision to have small lowkey FAMILY bday party friday night.  Small was an understatement!!!!  2 sets of grandparents couldn't make it although Mike's dad did come by for some cake and hug the kids:)
Guess it was better that way though- I would hate to have infected anyone especially kiddo's!!!
Its also not SO bad it happened like it did since Ella is only 2 and not 6 or 7 and could get her feelings hurt by not having a big blowout bday party.  She got some very nice things...a Dora's Talking Kitchen, Several outfits, a huge 3 story doll house, barbies, a pink build-a-bear, a shopping cart and plastic food for her kitchen...LOL....the list goes on!!!

She was happy and thats all that matters. I am feeling better too, so I am thankful for that!  We were so proud of the Whippets Friday in their victory over the Philadelphia Tornadoes!!!  The Tornadoes had been undefeated and were ranked #2 in the state 3A class!  AWESOME JOB WHIPPETS!!!
