Ahh, Spring is here...wait...near...wait you mean to tell me it is a -10 degree wind chill outside?? So off to Arizona we fly, where the weather is a perfect 80 degrees for a straight 5 days! Now I am really cold. We had a great trip, minus the trip to the ER and the possible speeding ticket (it hasn't arrived in the mail yet.. but I am almost 100% positive the flash was on me). But as the slogan in our household goes, "another vacation, another sick kid." Douglas ended up with all the symptoms of RSV...but according to the wonderfully trained professionals at the Phoenix Children's Urgent Care Center, it was a common cold and nothing but a little violent suctioning of the sinus cavity will do! I am sorry to those of you in the nursing/doctor health care sector, but this Mamma was HOT. He had classic RSV symptoms, and have you tried suctioning out a 5 almost 6 month old with a bulb syringe...yet alone a high powered high vac that is being prodded up his nostrils with out even being given a chance to breath! HOT MAMMA. Anyway, he's better. Still wheezy and coughy, thank God for my WONDERFUL family doctor...BOND, Thomas Bond....
Overall the trip was great, we went to the Zoo, swam, and had picnics in the park. We had a great time with Uncle Nik and our Great Aunt Lucile. I also learned that I was lied to as a child... did you know that camels store fat inside those humps... all this time I thought it was water. Well now I know, thanks to the great people at the zoo... and the wonderful camel ride.
I recommend a trip out to Phoenix whenever you get the chance.. I would move there, but Brian said no. Maybe someday I will retire there, that is if retirement is even an option for me.
My nice free schedule is quickly coming to an end, and I will be back to 4 days a week for several months... eeek. I think I need a nanny, a maid and a cook, maybe a million dollars too.
I hope this finds all our friends in good health! God Bless!
