Heat Wave

I can't believe it...it is 41* out right now. It seems like swimming suit weather. The sun is shining, but the wind is blowing like crazy since last night. However, with the warmer weather, the snow is melting, causing lots of mud and water to run...right into our basement. Brad thought we had fixed it all last year, but not so much. He has some ideas of what to do next, but in the mean time we will be using the Shop n Vac to suck all the water up. Fun times.

Alexis went back to the local PA on Tuesday last week...she was running a 102* temp and her left ear had nasty snotty type stuff draining out. I just figured the tube was doing its job, but when the fever got so high, we decided we better get in (especially after calling the ENT). Not surprising, she has another infection in that ear...said it was really gummed up, but seemed like it was doing its job. It was just taking a bit more time. I HATE antibiotics since her MRSA stuff, but we didn't have a choice. The PA called the ENT and they decided together that we would skip the drops (we had already finished the ones from surgery) and hit it with some omnicef. As of today it doesn't seem to be draining and she is in a good mood...no fevers since last Wednesday. I will take her back into the PA tomorrow morning at 10 to make sure it is truly clearing up. (fingers crossed)

After her appointment I will be heading to Great Falls then onto Helena on Tuesday for the week. It is our Spring Convention and during Legislative years we meet in Helena. I'm looking forward to it, but the girls are staying home with Daddy and I am going to miss them terribly. Shelby has school M-W then on Friday they will be home with Daddy. I will be staying with Beck and Kyle on Monday night, then Friday after we get adjourned I will head to the ranch. Will be nice to get out of town for a bit, but it is still hard to leave the girls.

I better get going and check on the basement since Alexis is taking a cat nap with Brad in the chair. Hope everyone is doing well.
