brief update

the day after Nova was diagnosed with pneumonia, Juneau started spiking temps again, so back to the hospital we went. she has been coughing so hard she pukes, so i thought surely she had pneumonia too. fortunately her x-ray was crystal clear. Unfortunately there was pus pouring out of her left ear, which means her cold turned into a nasty ear infection and she perforated her eardrum. these poor kiddos! and poor cris, too. They have not been sleeping AT ALL with their various ailments, and cris has been up 5-10 x/night with them. today they are both in beautiful moods, and there is defintaley less snot flowing, so i think we may finally be beating whatever nasty bug this is (with the help of a little amoxicillin).
This is pretty much how Nova spent the beginning of the week. She was so pitiful, and just laid around with her blankie and her milk.

Tomorrow is the big Ohio State vs. Michigan game. Keeping with The Buckeye Tradition we whipped up a batch of buckeyes last night. The girls of course had a great time.

They have been practicing their Fight Song and Alma Mater, and have been trying out a few anti-Michigan chants, so i think they are ready for the big game.

Juneau wtih an Enthusiastic "go BUCKEYES!"

In other news, I passed my PT test! Yeah! my lungs weren't too happy about having to breath heavily in 33 degree weather, but i thankfully made it with time to spare.
