uh-oh

Ok, now Kenzie appears to have pink eye. Of course, it only makes sense. It doesn't seem as bad as Maddy's case though because I think we caught it right at the beginning this time. Luckily we had leftover eye drops so pray that we can get rid of it before it gets any worse. It's not what you want to have during pool weather.

Riddle of the Day

Q: What do you call someone with a fractured rib, sinus infection and an ear infection?

A: Diane

Poor Maddy

Maddy doesn't get sick very often. There are two ways that she gets sick.

One: Sometimes she'll throw up in the morning, right after she wakes up, but then within an hour she's fine.
Two: She gets really, really sick. At 11 months old, she ends up with pneumonia and lands in the hospital for 4 days, on Christmas Eve.
This week, she started with a bellyache on Sunday, complaining that her "belly hurt really, really bad." Then threw up, and was fine and ended up at the pool for the afternoon. But the next day, she ended up with a fever for the next few days, and gunk in her eye. We went to the doc yesterday and turns out she has pink eye and an ear infection. And I guess the virus caused a rash on her torso as well.

Last night she threw up again and was coughing ALL NIGHT and it seems she busted a blood vessel in her eye.



Eeeeew, huh?

the Diagnosis is... (drum roll please)

...a fractured rib! Yep, after months of pain and doctors, xrays, sonograms and CT scans, that's all it is. I fractured a rib back in February or so (that's when it started hurting anyway). I am not quite sure how but my mom says it's around the time I fell down the stairs (I'm a clutz), or it happened while playing tennis. Who knows, not me. But it hurts like a you-know-what, that's for sure, and it takes forever to heal.

Here's the teeny, weeny fracture, you may have to squint and really strain your eyes to see it. It's a really thin, darker line. You can see it better on the CT scan but I don't have a copy of that.
