Sick Girl
Well, this isn't what I thought I would be posting for Denise today, my goal was to take lots of pictures of the children on Easter and be able to share with you. Denise had other plans in the making and didn't know about them.
Sometime early in the weekend, Denise developed a boil on the inside of her leg at the groin area. It quickly became very painful and continued to grow over the weekend and by Sunday she was in extreme pain from it and started running a fever of around 104.
It was apparent that she had to be seen without waiting so Jimmie and I kept the children and Joe took out for the hospital emergency room with her. They had a surgeon put her to sleep and lance and pack the area, started her on IV antibiotics, and told her she would be there for several days. There is a possibility it is MRSA but we won't know until the culture comes back.
Please pray for her quick healing and for the family, it's pretty hard with such a little baby and toddler and child missing Mommy!
Hopefully Denise will be back to post herself very soon but I will try to keep you informed when I don't have the children. I still don't know how she manages to do it with the children!

Easter Egg Hunt
This afternoon was the annual church Easter egg hunt. I dropped Micah off with my Mom, (I figured he really did not need ANY more sun) and took the older two boys to the ball field for the egg hunt. Of course Noah, being five years old and all, was a pro at hunting eggs. He went off on his own with the "big" kids while I took Jonah with me to the toddler section.
I had the hardest time getting Jonah to even pick up one egg! I kept telling him to pick up the pretty eggs and put them in the basket and he kept looking at me like I was crazy. After a few minutes of him stubbornly refusing to pick up any eggs, I finally realized what the problem was. Jonah is allergic to eggs. Every time he comes near something that has eggs in it, I say, "NO, you can't have that. It has eggs in it." The poor child was afraid that he would get in trouble for touching the plastic Easter eggs. He really got into the competition and had a blast once I told him that it was okay, that these were eggs with candy and he could eat what was inside.
Noah gathered a lot of eggs as well. He also won a plastic motorcycle by playing bingo. (Just what I need, another toy in the house.) After the egg hunt, bingo, hot dogs, and cupcakes, we picked up Micah and headed home. When we got home, I came straight to the computer to blog and then remembered that I should have taken the camera. Oops!
