Winter Bubble, Sinus Infection and Flying to a Germ Free Island with Pixie Dust



Oh my goodness here it is  almost the middle of February and Lizzy has NOT left  the house since the first part of January. The CDC map says the flu is widespread STILL. Lizzy's teacher had strept last week and today thinks she has come down with stomach flu. UGH... So, glad we are NOT in public school. GERMS!! Lizzy said "We all need a Germ Free Island and fly there on Pixie Dust" I laughed. She is too funny. The imagination of kids. Love it!!

I ventured out last week and Paul and I did our taxes.  I went to a birthday party for Calib and Rachael yesterday. I felt like I had escaped! Lizzy stayed home with her mom since they do not have a ramp for her chair. She is in her chair every day and she feels she needs to take it with her every where. Love It!

Lizzy woke up about 5am needing suction today. Plugging, secretions galore, bloody nose and drainage. Yup, the dreaded SINUS INFECTION. UGH. Got her on antibiotic right away. She seems to be doing okay now besides the secretions and extra coughs. She is impatiently waiting for her Web-kinz Valentine Party that starts today at 4PM. Every 10 mins "Nina what time is it? " She is on treatments every 4 hours right now but if she needs to up them I will. I just hope she does not get any worse.

Lizzy's great grandma Hoffner passed away a week ago . Carolyn was a wonderful lady. She loved Lizzy and until she was not feeling well always made sure she checked on Lizzy. She helped Lizzy with a small benefit for our trips to California and Madison years back with the help from her friends. She had not been in touch much the past few years but, would send  Christen  or me a private message on facebook checking on Lizzy. She is the only family member on Lizzy's Dad's side that seemed to keep contact with us. Carolyn had went to holiday gatherings with our side several times. Very pleasant positive lady.  She was very honest in her opinions and I very much like that in people . She will be missed in our family.

Lizzy's mom Christen also had more things happen her this week. A good friend went in and got a cat scan and complications happened and she died at age 34.

Lizzy did the most amazing thing last Sunday during the Super bowl last week end she feed herself!!  The video above!!  We  were all STUNNED!! Wow! That girl never stops shocking us!!

Praying for a great year, Spring to hurry up getting here, all of our sick friends and Lizzy.
Please Keep Lizzy in your prayers!!
Please also forward her donation page to friends and family for a new van for Lizzy. She needs one really bad!!!
Changes are happening all around us.
