We have had quite the week at our house. It all started last Friday when Dan called me at work. Kourtney was starting to get a strange sore on her foot, so I called the doctor and in we went. Now you know there is a problem when the doc says "that's strange, I have never seen anything like that before" so she brings in two other Doctors and they say the same thing. So, she had an MRI done and we got a prescription for cellulitice. On Sunday we headed back up to the Doctors office (our fav. hang-out:) because the sore had blistered and was starting to form on the other foot. This time we saw a different Doctor, her main ped. Doc. Barhorst (who we love), and after the same response as the doctors before her she decided that Kourt needed to be admitted and the "infection" treated before it spread to her legs. They later (Tuesday) decided that the sores were caused by poor circulation and she needs to be massaged and rotated often. Before they could discharge her she contracted an upper respiratory infection and had to stay a couple more nights. They let her come home on Thursday and you know it is kind of hard getting back into the swing of things but its great to have her home again. They changed her feeding dose and added one more med (an anti-biotic, that can't be taken at the same time as her seizure meds), so its like we are learning everything again. Its is nice to have her home, and hopefully we can do everything we are supposed to do. Dan is the one who had to miss work, he called in for three nights. It makes more since for me to miss work but I carry the stupid insurance, that is all going to change in Jan. and I am so excited for that. As far as I know the surgery is still on, she never did have an ear infection during that ordeal. She is feeling better now and we can only pray that she stays that way.

I'm glad she is doing better, It was good to see you guys the other night we need to come over more often! I can't believe how big she is getting she is such a little angel!
your december sounds a lot like mine... except that this was the first time any of my babies had ended up in the hospital and there was a lot of arguing between doctors going on where it was all concerned. I'm very ready for 2009 cause it's really got to be better than 2008 you just can't get much worse... knock on wood.
i hope she's feeling better now.
