So for the past few months I have been procrastinting using our health savings account to get some new glasses. I badly need new frames, the ones I currently have are cheap walmart frames that just haven't held up over the last three years. I also suspect that my perscription has changed. Well as luck would have it the money is going somewhere else. Spike got sick this weekend and we spent Sunday night at the hospital. Grrr. Don't get me wrong I am so grateful that he is now fine, and that we live in a time of modern medicine and have access to a hospital. That is great! It just sucks to think that if it had been 24 hours later then I could have taken him to the doctor and probably gotten a steriod shot, nebulizer perscription and saved myself a thousand bucks. Grrr. He had a nasty case of croup and sounded like he couldn't breath at times. Poor little guy. I did learn a few things from the experience.
1. My friends are awesome and I am lucky to have them so close. There were a lot of people helping us out with the other two.
2. Jurassic Park is an awesome movie. Twenty years later and it still looks great and entertains.
3. I am glad I don't waste money on cable because most of the time there is nothing at all on all those channels. I didn't even like what was on HGTV.
4. Mercy is a much nicer hospital then Northwest.
5. There is a good reason they clear the screens in the ER when they leave the room. They didn't and I got to read all the stuff going on with all the other patients.
6. I am taking my previously mentioned procrastination as a sign from the Lord that all of my procrastinations are just the Spirit telling me something and am now going to give in.
7. Spikey's squishy fatness is adoreable to everyone. No one is immune from that kid's squish. Everyone wants to pinch him just a little bit.

Elizabeth got the croup in July when she was about 4 months old. Dave came and woke me early in the morning, showed her to me and asked what they should do. I had never seen a child with croup before and it was pathetic seeing how she just couldn't breathe. I told them to take her to the doctor's office which is not far from our home even though they didn't have an appointment. When they got to the doctor's office they just sent them to the ER immediately. They are not equipped to handle croup so you probably would have ended up at the ER anyway.
Watching any kid/baby have trouble breathing is very scary. I'm so glad he's feeling better! Boo for big co-pays.
I think that middle picture of him on the lion rocker is my favorite yet! I love footy pajamas and stripes and I know I would not be immune to watching to pinch his squishiness :)
