Crazy, crazy!

Having four kids and our crazy schedule keeps us super busy without everything else that is going on with our family health wise these days. For example, Monday night we had a baseball game and I tried to keep Kayla in the car so that she wouldn't be around the other kids since she was kind of sick still.  My aunt was nice enough to come to the field after work to take her back home, but Kayla wanted to stay and ended up running around after awhile anyway. After the game, we loaded everyone in the car and tried to go, but our battery was dead. Pretty funny. We called AAA and they came out pretty quickly and we ended up buying a new battery. No more movies during games I guess!! Tuesday was a mellow one, the girls and I just stayed home and tried to rest, we had to do showers and dressing change, all that fun stuff. Mike and I got a little bit of the bug that Kelsey and Kayla have had, so we're all a little tired. Wednesday I decided Kayla should stay home from school one more time, she tested negative for strep on Monday, but I just wanted her to be totally better before going back to school. She has been sleeping in Braden's room to try to avoid Brooklyn getting sick, but the girls all play together during the day, so we have just kind of been waiting for Brooklyn to come down with something. So far, she's still been okay. Wednesday the girls and I went to go see Brooklyn's gym teacher from My Gym. She is moving and so even though we are hoping to go back to class someday, she won't be there and we will miss her! It was great to see her and for her to get to see Brooklyn since the last time we were there was the day Brookie was diagnosed. It is crazy how much our life has changed since that day. Today we had a fun day at home, I painted the girls nails and they had fun playing with eachother. For awhile, Kayla and Brooklyn were sliding down the stairs on a cardboard box. Who needs toys? :) Everyone seems to be feeling better, except for Mike's mom. She went in yesterday for a post-op check and mentioned that she was having some chest pain so they made her stay overnight. She had four stints put in this afternoon and they are pretty sure she had a mild heard attack. She will be in the hospital through the weekend and we are all praying for a speedy recovery. In a weird way, it is blessing that she got cancer so that she was able to tell the doctor she had pain before the blockage got too bad. We are thankful for the doctors who have helped her through all of the craziness she has had to endure the last few weeks.
