It was a long day, lots of driving--- we went from the lake to Kirk's grandmother's house (1 1/2 hrs away) Sam had ( yet another) cold, Molly woke up with croup--- always fun to hear her without a voice and barking like a dog.
We all enjoyed a yummy dinner and then
it was time to head home--- a 3 1/2 hour drive. It was a quiet drive home, Molly couldn't talk, and apparently it is no fun making noise by yourself, so Sam was quiet as well. We got home, got the kids to bed and got everything ready for the am.
Then Molly woke up and barked and cried and barked. She was working
really hard to breathe so I gave her a treatment (it did not seem to
work very well) I got her to calm down and she even went back to sleep,
but continued to wheeze and have stridor... so off to the ER we go....
at 1:30 am. Poor baby was tired, working hard to breathe and looked
pathetic. it was COLD and raining, but we made it. Poor baby had to
get a shot (steroid)
Best part of the night? All the attention she got from the doctors and nurses on Christmas morning, the fact that she hung on to me so tight and sweet the whole time we were there. She even got 2 things of apple juice. ( these pics were taken when I put her down to get our coats on... the first time she let me go the whole time we were there).
Worst part of the night? rectal temp AND shot in the bottom--- good thing she had on her cute Christmas undies!!!
Sam annoying Molly while we visit
Sam trying to pass the time
molly introduces her great grandmother to her new doll
to Kirk's cousin's house (almost another 1 1/2 hours) for the big family
celebration. We visited with family, the kids enjoyed playing with
their cousins (the boys enjoyed the wii, shooting the girls with a
rubber band gun and just plain running around, the girls enjoyed
watching a fairy barbie DVD in a room almost the same pepto bismol shade
of pink as Molly's, and running away from the boys who were chasing
them with a rubber band gun :) )
Molly met a new friend--
Showing Great grandmother her gift--always the helper
great grandmother with my kiddos
Sam and his cousin--- both up to no good, I got them to stop for a second
though :)
