Bad Bad Boo Boo

Just a quick post to let you all know that we are in the hospital with Emma Grace. After a wonderful Thanksgiving,she got a "bad bad boo boo" as she calls it. She had what we think was an infected hair at the base of her neck. After we pulled the hair Tuesday the place seemed to get worse. We went the doctor on Wed. and he gave us cream to put on it. By Thanksgiving day she was running a low grade temp and had red streaks coming out of the bump. We went to the doctor early Friday morning and they took one look and sent us directly to the hospital. They believe that she has a staff infection and that it has spread down her neck. At this point this morning we are waiting for the doctor to make rounds to decide if she will need to have the spot cut open. They are telling us that she "may" get to come home Mon. or Tues. Please pray for her this has been a very difficult time for her. She doesn't trust doctors and nurses due to bad experiences in China. She is doing better, but still has a lot of fear. I have stayed with her the entire time, with other family helping out. We are ready to have her home....

A Bug, A Cat & A Mouse...Trick or Treat

This past weekend we had a wonderful time for Halloween. Emma Grace dressed as a ladybug and Elisabeth was a Cheetah cat. We took the girls to Mt. Pleasant UMC fall festival. Alice and Hailey also went with us. Hailey was Minnie Mouse and was to cute. It took Emma Grace all of two seconds before she realized that the cuter she was the more candy she got. She really enjoyed the games. We also carved pumpkins at Maw Maw Sylvia's. Emma Grace did not like the inside of the pumpkin at all. She cried when we tried to get her to touch it. We carved a dragon in her pumpkin for her while she spent her time getting Uncle Mike to throw her up in the air. I have decided that she is truly rotten and it is wonderful.
