What A Day!

Poor Maddie is sick. It is around 10:30 pm and Maddie and I just got home from the Dr. She has had a cold all week, and today decided to spike a 101.4 temp. So, when I got off of work I came straight home, ate a quick dinner and took her to our local after hours clinic new in McDonough. (Fabulous place by the way, if anyone in our area ever needs it. Staffed by Scottish Rite Docs.) At any rate, the final diagnosis is bronchitis vs. pneumonia. She had some wheezing and "crackling" in the lungs so the Dr. was leaning more toward pneumonia, but couldn't tell for sure without a chest x-ray. So instead of giving my baby unecessary radiation, she prescribed a strong antibiotic that would work for either illness. See why I liked this place?! Anyway, after a couple of breathing treatments, 1 hour wait at the pharmacy, and 2 pukes in the car on the way home, we finally made it. She had a bath and is now snoozing quietly, just the way I like it. What can I say, it's never dull around here. Just when you start to get comfortable, WHAM! Oh well, it keeps thinga exciting. Love to all!

Finally!

I am now officailly a blogger! I made my first post and it worked! Yeah! I am actually very excited to be learning how to do this. Please visit often to watch me learn and grow. Feel free to offer me any tips you veteren bloggers have learned.
Okay, I hate to be the last person to do a new thing, and I feared I was becoming that person, so...Welcome to our Family's blog! I can't promise to always be witty, intelligent, or even coherent all of the time, but I will try my best to keep you up to date on our little Family. I also can't promise to have great pictures, cute clip art (Allison), or great downloads (Kim) as I am not at all computer savvy. I will promise however, to coerce my savvy Husband into doing those things for me.
With that said, allow me to introduce everyone. Theres me Aimee, A.K.A. Mommy, Wife extraordinaire, Medical Professional. Then there's Patrick, A.K.A. Daddy, Husband of the year, Safety Man. Then there's my Parker. Professional student (the Big K this year), and a real Ladies Man (especially Mommy). Next there's my beautiful Lillie. Spitting (blonde) image of her Mommy. She's 2 1/2 what more do I need to say about that?!? And, bringing up the rear is Madeline, A.K.A. Maddie. She has the most beautiful blue eyes, and has perfected her raptor screech! So now that you know everyone, check in often to keep up to date on our Family. Happy Blogging to all!
