Thursday means.....

Movies and staying up late. I probably won't let the girls stay up too late because we have our follow up for Autumn in the morning. I have to make my little list of questions because I have a few. I want to understand what is going on with Autumn's feet. I mean, are they bruises? Did they bruise because of the swelling? Why do they STILL look that way? So far today, we haven't had any rash outbreaks. Autumn asked to go to school this morning, but I just do not think it is a good idea until her immune system has time to recover. Her appetite has picked up tremendously! She is eating as much or more than me. I feel pretty confident she will go back to school on Monday. We are headed to my mom's Tuesday after school or on Wednesday. I am undecided at this point. I tend to think Wednesday since we are staying until Sunday, but my mom is off on Wed/Thursday so I sort of want to be there already so we can spend the two days together. My next problem to tack...

An old photo shoot.

Jennifer and I finally got the chance to see one another since this photo shoot way back in November. Friday (the day Autumn was hospitalized), we bumped into one another at Dr Iris' office. The triplets were there for their 5 year checkup and Jennifer had the disc of photos. I was excited when I finally remembered it a few days ago. I have this feeling that any "professional" photo shoot we do will have one, two or more people looking this ridiculous! Did someone punch Autumn in the face? What is going on there? As we slowly got a little further away from all of her cousins, Autumn started getting a little bit happier. It didn't last long though. Does it make you laugh? Alex is the ONLY child smiling! Millie is so fabulous! Seriously, this is comical! I love how Millie is holding Roww. PS- I've recently had the pleasure of hearing someone pronounce Roww's name and it cracked me up. They were not even close. She said it more lik...

It is hard to get a picture of what Autumn's feet, elbows and knees look like. I don't know why. This was the best I could do. Sort of crazy to think that it isn't a bruise per se. In person, it looks much worse than this, but it doesn't seem to matter what light I am in, it just does not show up on the camera. This is all that is left of our little problem today. I do not see the rash at all, anywhere on her body. Autumn still has 3 to 4 times a day a sudden onset of rash and intense itching, but after 20 to 30 minutes, the rash is completely gone, although the itching still remains. I won't point it out in every picture, but look at Autumn's feet. That is not a shadow you are seeing. She is still complaining about her belly hurting. This will have to be brought up at the doctors appointment. She told me today that her heart hurt too. This is the 2nd time she has told me her heart hurts and that freaks me the hell out. I listened to her heart b...
