Brooklyn's Hospital Adventure

This week Brooklyn spent 2 nights in the hospital. After 4 days of fevers over 102 with no other symptoms besides extreme irritability and not acting like herself, I took Brooklyn to her pediatrician. After taking one look at Brooklyn lying on the exam table, the dr. said "she doesn't look too good. I don't like the story you're telling me and her purple hands and delayed capillary refill are a bit concerning." Long story short, she had a pretty hefty UTI/pyelo. So anyway, 3 sticks to get an IV, 2 shots of ceftriaxone after the IV went bad the last day, and 1 cath urine later we are all home and on the road to recovery. It was quite an adventure. Stay tuned for Brooklyn's next adventure - a trip to New York City to meet her newest cousin, Sadie Grace.

Returning to My Birth State

"In my short four months of life, I've spent time in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Washington, D.C., New York, and New Jersey. I was born in Ohio but my parents rushed me to Pennsylvania just days after I was born. It was nice to return to Ohio recently to see one set of grandparents--they could hardly wait to spoil me with attention, daddy's old toys, and early-holiday gifts. Ahhh, I've got it pretty good. I can't wait 'til December when fly to California to get spoiled by my other grandparents." - Brooklyn (with Daddy's translation)

My Daddy's So Smart

"Daddy passed the Pennsylvania Bar Exam. YEA!!!! Mommy and I are so proud of him for working so hard and being so smart. He makes me smile." - Brooklyn (with help from Mom)
