Those pictures of Ellie coming home were PRICELESS!
Thanks, everyone! We are so happy to be home and she is so much better. I always feel a bit bad posting my personal drama here when I so rarely post period, but I wrote up the whole thing in LJ. My bro and SIL arrived about 30 minutes after we got home from the hospital and they have been great. (They mopped my floors and folded clean laundry.) My parents, currently stranded by United in Chicago, should arrive today so it seems like CHristmas will be saved after all.
Yay for a saved Christmas! And, yes, the pictures of Ellie were so precious.
My SIL is an event planner. She has a wedding tonight, and the groom's whole family is stuck in Denver. The poor bride is just beside herself. But, in true Ashley fashion, my SIL has calmed her and has a "plan" already worked out with the venue.
I think I have either a stomach bug or food poisoning. It is NOT a Christmas Miracle.
Oh, d! That sucks bigtime!
Ick, d. Quick recovery dear.
{{Stephanie, Joe, and Ellie}} I haven't been to LJ lately so I hadn't read about your hospital stay. How scary. It is wonderful that Ellie was still nursing. Good both for her recovery, and for mutual comfort. Also, pictures just precious.
Hi vw! How's Kansas?
eta: and my clock strikes 9 and I am out the door with Bobby. Will be back...
How's Kansas?
Kansas is good. And shortly it will hold my little brother (the one who's 6'4" and 300 pounds of pure loveable, hugable joy). YAY! I love it when my whole family gets together. We have such a good time. Of course, I may feel differently after having all of us in one small house for 8 days, but still.
Have a good day, Laura!
d, I hope you feel better, soon.
Stephanie, those pictures of Ellie were beautiful. Such a happy child!
d, bummer on the ick! I hope it goes away quickly.
{{{d}}} Feel better.
Stephanie, I hope you and Ellie and your family have a wonderful Christmas. I am glad your family is there with you.
Ugh. Doing a neb. My poor SIL is all concerned now and trying to figure out what to do to make it better. She offered to lock the cats up for the week and re-vacuum everything. I know she vacuumed everything really well before we came (because she always does), and I hate for the cats to be locked up for a whole week. And, she completely cleaned the room I'm staying in--even washed the curtains. I hate for her to think that all that isn't enough. Stupid asthma.
I told her I'm just doing this more preventatively than anything else. That way she can expect to see the neb come out a couple of times a day and not get alarmed.
But, I suppose I should quit playing with the cats :).
