My Family

I originally created this blog to discuss the ups and downs that I have encountered while training for my upcoming half marathons for this year.  I have decided to have a record of things that my family has done and the funny sayings that my kids have said. I hope that you will  enjoy reading these as well.

My name is Melody and I have been married to my husband Brad for 9 years in just a couple of weeks.  We have a son, Bradley, who is six and a daughter, Peyton, who is 3.  Bradley is getting ready to start school this coming up Tuesday.  He is beyond excited!!  All I have heard is when is school starting?  He is a little nervous this year.  Although he is going into the 1st grade, he will be starting a new school.

Peyton on the other hand is not very happy.  She really wants to start school but she is not quite hold enough.  We had her screened to see if we could get her into preschool.  Even though she is only 3, we thought we could give a shot and see if we could get her into the preschool in the school system.  She did really well with her tests but since she is only 3, she didn't get in.  That is alright.  Like I said, it was worth a shot to try.

This week has been a hectic one.  Peyton has been sick and had to go to the doctor twice this week.  She has been running a fever off and on since Sunday night.  I thought that she was cutting her other two year molars that have yet to come in but when she was going on 3 days of a fever and it just kept getting higher and higher I called the doctor.  She couldn't find anything wrong and even sent her to have chest x rays and blood work done. 

It is funny now but not at the time.  After she had her blood drawn, she was crying down the hall saying that she wanted her blood back.  It was so cute.  About a couple of hours after the tests, her doctor called.  Everything was fine and if she didn't get to feeling better and her fever was still high she needed to come back on Friday.  We thought she was doing better then her fever spiked again last night. 

We called the doc and got her in this morning.  Turns out she has a double ear infection and had to be put on antibiotics.  We are just happy that we know what was wrong with her.  It was so pitiful to see her laying there in obvious pain and there was nothing that you could do about it.  I didn't know what to do but give her some meds to help bring the fever down and turns out, help with the pain that she was feeling from the ear infections.  I am just glad she is feeling better.  I am sure that I will have more to say next time.  So until then.
