Feeling a Little Blue and Thankful Thursday

I heard, "Oh Myah!!!" I said "What is it Dayton?" He replied, "you don't want to know". This is what I found, she said "chap-tick Momma", referring to the blue smelly marker in her hand.



It has been that kind of a week around here with Princess Myah. I can't turn my back for a second and she is into everything! This is one wore out momma! I took her to a new pediatrician today that I love! She has referred me to a Ear Nose and Throat specialist concerning Myah's tonsils. I am relieved actually. Her tonsils are HUGE! She has not slept well in about a month, snoring very loudly, choking on food and is very irritable. On top of that, she has two new teeth that have erupted and they look very decayed. I am so upset! The pediatric dentist appointment is next week. Mark's eye surgery is on the 6th so I am not scheduling anything during that period. We have been through this surgery before and I know what we are in for. I have been praying that a doctor would finally listen to our concerns with Myah's tonsils. The doctor handed me a note today with the ENT's number on it and to my delight is was a Chinese doctor who I had heard wonderful things about, and the note paper had a lady bug on it. I feel like we are headed in the right direction. I sure hope so! It was sad today when I was filling out all of the new patient forms, I had to leave so many blanks empty and boxes unchecked because I just don't know anything about her past or her family history. Finally, one long form just had a spot at the top to check if she was adopted, I wish I had her answers. When I saw the ladybug on the note, it made me realize that even if we don't know much about her past, we are her future....and her family.

I am thankful this week for.........
-Mark, for taking the girls ( me and Myah) shopping at the mall this week, we loved it! For picking out just the perfect catcher's equipment for Dayton, he loves it! For the best cup of hot cocoa delivered to me in my comfy chair on these cold nights! ( He does it almost every night!)
-Dayton, for playing with your sissy so that mom can have a break! For the sweet hug you gave me last night because you knew I needed it!
