MAMA AND BABY SICK!!!!

MAYA AND I BOTH ARE SICK. I HAVE BEEN SICK SINCE LAST THURSDAY WITH STREP, BRONCHITIS, AND A SINUS INFECTION. WELL, MAYA WOKE UP THIS MORNING WITH A FEVER OF 104.4. I WAS UNABLE TO COOL HER SO OFF TO THE DOCTOR WE WENT. HE SAID THAT SHE HAS PNEUMONIA AGAIN. WE HAVE TO GO BACK TOMORROW FOR ANOTHER CHEST X-RAY AND HE WILL DECIDE IF SHE NEEDS TO BE IN THE HOSPITAL. HE GAVE HER AN ANTIBIOTIC SHOT TODAY. WE ARE PRAYING THAT IT WORKS. HOWEVER, SHE STILL HAS A VERY HIGH FEVER.

PLEASE KEEP HER IN YOUR PRAYERS. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED.

HOME 8 MONTHS!!!

PURE JOY!!!
I LOVE THIS LITTLE GIRL MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY!!!
THIS IS MY DAD GOING THROUGH THE TUNNEL WITH MAYA.
HERE COMES MY GIRL!!!
MAYA'S MAMMIE TRYING TO GET THROUGH THE TUNNEL.

I CAN'T NOT BELEIVE THAT MAYA HAS BEEN HOME FOR 8 MONTHS ALREADY. I CAN REMEMBER BEING AT THE GUATEMALA AIRPORT LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY. WE ACTUALLY CAME HOME ON THE 21ST, SO I AM JUST A FEW DAYS LATE. I LOVE MAYA MORE EVERYDAY. SHE IS SUCH A JOY AND THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE. I CAN'T AND DON'T WANT TO REMEMBER MY LIFE WITHOUT HER.

SHOT UPDATE: SHE DID GREAT, SHE NEVER HAD A TEMP AT ALL!!!

MILK UPDATE: WE HAD BEEN ON REAL MILK FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS AND SHE WAS DOING GREAT (SO I THOUGHT) THEN SHE BROKE OUT IN A RASH. I TOOK HER OFF REAL MILK AND THE RASH IS GONE. SOOOOO, WE ARE BACK ON SOY. SHE LOVES IT!!!

THAT IS ALL FOR NOW. IT IS MY BEDTIME, NOT HERS!!!

MAYA MEETS THE BULL!!!

THERE HE GOES!!!
YIPPPPPEEEEE, HE RODE FOR 8 SECONDS!!!!

ENJOYING ONE CHIP WITH TONS OF CHEESE. SHE WAS SO CUTE DOUBLE DIPPING. SHE ONLY AT 2 CHIPS. SHE WOULD DIP, LICK THE CHEESE OFF, AND DIP AGAIN.
THIS IS HER FIRST CORNDOG THAT SHE HAS EATEN FROM THE STICK. SHE STOLE IT FROM HER MAMMIE. ATE HALF AND GAVE IT BACK. I HAD ALWAY PULLED IT OFF THE STICK AND CUT IT UP. I DON'T THINK THAT WILL BE HAPPENING ANYMORE.
THE BULL!!! THESE GUYS ARE CRAZY!!!
THAT BULL IS GETTING MAD AND MAYA IS GRINNING.
OH NO, THAT BOY JUST WENT FLYING THROUGH THE AIR!!!

WAITING AND WATCHING FOR THE BULLS.
WILD HORSE.
OOPS, THERE HE GOES!!!
SHE WAS SCARED OF THE CLOWN BUT ADORED THE BULLS. SOMETHING IS JUST NOT RIGHT WITH THAT.
MAYA SEEING THE BULL FOR THE FIRST TIME. SHE LOVED THEM. SHE SAT THROUGH THE ENTIRE RODEO. MAYA LOVED HER FIRST RODEO. HER MAMMIE AND GRAMPS CAME FROM ALABAMA TO GO WITH HER. SHE LOVED THAT ALSO. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A KID HER AGE LOVE BULLS SO MUCH. I KEPT ASKING HER IF SHE WANTED TO RIDE ONE AND OF COURSE SHE SAID YES. IT STARTED RAINING RIGHT AFTER WE GOT THERE AND RAINED THE ENTIRE TIME. THANK GOD IT WAS COVERED.

A DAY AT THE DOCTOR!!!

PLAYING IN THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE. POOR THING DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.
WAITING ON THE DOCTOR!! STILL HAPPY!!!
THIS WAS TAKEN BEFORE SHE GOT UP.
THIS IS AFTER THE DOCTOR. I DIDN'T PUT HER TO BED WITH HER SHOES ON. SHE GOT OFF THE BED AND PUT THEM ON HERSELF. THE CHICK IS OBSESSED WITH SHOES.

MAYA'S APPT. WITH THE DOC. WENT GOOD. SHE LACKS 2 OUNCES BEING 25 POUNDS. I KNEW THAT SHE WAS GETTING HEAVY. SHE IS 31 INCHES LONG.. SHE IS IN THE 50% FOR WEIGHT AND 20% FOR HEIGHT. HE SAID THAT SHE WAS PERFECT. I REALLY DIDN'T NEED TO PAY HIM TO ME THAT. SHE HAD TO GET TWO SHOTS TODAY. THEN HE WANTED TO DRAW TITERS TO SEE WHERE WE WERE AT WITH THE IMMUNE STATUS. THEY HAD TO STICK HER TWICE. ME, THE NURSE, AND THE LAB TECH WAS ALL IN TEARS. MAYA WAS JUST MAD!!! SHE HATES TO BE HELD DOWN. WE WILL KNOW IN A WEEK IF WE ARE DONE WITH THE SHOTS. I HOPE SO. SO FAR THESE HAVE NOT MADE HER SICK. HOWEVER, SHE HAS TAKEN A 2 HOUR NAP AND IS STILL SLEEPING.

WE ARE GOING TO THE RODEO TONIGHT, SO CHECK BACK FOR THOSE PICTURES.

I AM READY TO GO~~~!!!!!!!!

HEY, AUNT ELLIE MY MAMA HAS ME ALL PACKED AND READY TO SEE YOU.

MAYA LOVED THIS BOX. SHE PLAYED IN IT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. WE ARE GOING FOR MORE SHOTS IN THE MORNING. I HAVE ALREADY STARTED THE TYLENOL AND MOTRIN. MY PARENTS ARE COMING TO VISIT TOMORROW NIGHT. WE HAVE PLANS TO GO TO THE RODEO. I WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE HOW MAYA FEELS.

THE WEATHER HAS BEEN PERFECT HERE IN MISSISSIPPI THE PAST FEW DAYS. YES, IT IS HUMID BUT NOT THAT HOT YET. HOWEVER, THE POLLEN HATES MAYA AND MAYA HATES THE POLLEN. SHE HAS ALLERGIES SOOOOO BAD. AFTER WE STAY OUTSIDE FOR HOURS SHE IS COUGHING, SNEEZING, AND HAS A SNOTTY NOSE. HER DOCTOR SAID THAT SHE HAD A COLD. WELL, THIS MAMA DISAGREES WITH HIM. A COLD DOESN'T LAST FOREVER. THIS GIRL HAS ALLERGIES. THE SOUTH IS NOT AGREEING WITH HER. LOOKS LIKE WE ARE GOING TO BE FORCED TO HEAD WEST. ELLIE, WE ARE NOT MOVING TO CALIFORNIA, MAYBE NEW MEXICO!!!!
