Happy New Year!

Well, we were running around with the baby caravan (why is it baby's have so much stuff?) for much of the holiday. Annie is still in need of frequent breathing treatments so she had her own bag of meds and equipment. We survived an ear infection for her on Christmas Eve (thankfully the doctor's office is always open!) and, unfortunately, Annie's breathing took a turn for the worse. We all most had to put her on some heavy duty steroids (she continues to be on one steroid) but she improved just in time. I would like to point out that our pediatrician, who went to great lengths to make herself available to us throughout the holiday, told me to put on my 'dunce cap' because I did not reach out to her soon enough when Annie wasn't doing too well. I was forced to wear the dunce cap for several days. It was bad. It has now been removed and I am back in her good graces (a place where I hope to stay forever -I don't want to get in trouble again!).

Good news is we are all doing quite well and even went back to toning down Annie's steroids a bit on Monday (we had to up them when she got sick). Let's see how long this will last!!! Holiday photos to come. Luke is a BIG fan of Santa.
