Flu bound

Forgive me for it has been forever since I have been well enough to post! Unfortunately, our Florida trip did not go completely as planned and Miss Layla ended up with the flu shortly after arriving in sunny Naples. From there is was spread to Mommy and we had a horrible flight home on Friday. Unfortunately, Papa ended up sick as a dog as well and we are all just finally getting back on our feet when you guessed it, Miss Hannah came down with it this morning!


We did have a few sunny days to enjoy Florida though and it was so wonderful to be in such warm weather. It was 80 degrees every day and Hannah thoroughly enjoyed being in her summer clothes. For the first time since September, the kid did not argue with me about what to put on! She was up and dressed and outside coloring before 8:00 am every morning! She also loved being able to swim in the pool and did not even put up a fight about having to wear ear plugs! Her surgery went well the prior week and although it took her some time to recover, as soon as the Florida air hit her she was back to being Hannah again.

Layla was a trooper even though she didnt feel well. We first thought that she had gotten the stomach bug as she began vomiting the first night we arrived. Yet as the days passed and she got more and more sick we realized upon two trips to the doctor when we got back, that it was the flu. The poor kid was flat out for 8 days straight and could barely stay awake for more than an hour at a time. She still is not acting herself and we are hoping to get more answers about that when we are up in Boston visiting the GI specialist on Tuesday. She is still waking several times a night screaming in pain. It really is heartbreaking and worrisome.

I promise to write more as soon as I can get caught up on laundry and the work that is quickly accumulating on my desk from being out of work for so long! I also have a few pictures to post of the girls in Florida!
