Hematologist- update

The doctors were great and the office rocks!! Don't get me wrong this is not the place I want any of our children spending their time- Zoe's platelet levels fell but the Hematologist wants us to try to wait until Friday morning to see if her body corrects itself. I agreed, I'm not one to give a ton of drugs so fast if the possibility is there for things to get better on their own. We already have our plan in place in case she needs to be admitted to the hospital for treatment on Friday. Dave is going to be on duty since I took off today. He will go with a packed bag of pj's, diapers, etc... I will meet him after I get Jordyn. We will switch and Jordyn and her Dad will go for a fun night at Dave and Busters. We hope this does not happen but we want to be prepared. The hardest thing is making sure Zoe does not hurt her head. Thank you all for your emails and phone calls it is truly appreciated. I will keep everyone up to date.

More Disney






Here are some more pictures!!

Disney- the low down






It was hot and it was crowded, but with the advice from many of our friends we were able to navigate and fast pass a lot. Dave and I would separate from time to time to make it easier. Jordyn loved all the rides . She did Everest, the rapids, space mountain, runaway train, Soarin, Mission space, test track and other really fast scary rides that her Mom cannot go on. Dad loves this stuff so it worked out well. I took Zoe on Snow White, Winnie the Pooh, Dumbo and a lot of the shows. We met up with great friends, ate at Morocco in Epcot as well as the Beer Gardens another night. The Fantasmic show was amazing , it plays in MGM ( Hollywood) . We had breakfast with the Princesses one morning ( Zoe loved this) and Jordyn did get to go to the Bippity Boppity Boutique for her big Diva makeover. We stayed in Port Orleans in the French Quarter. It was good, we really were not in the room that much. The pool is great for kids and you can rent boats go for carriage rides and other cool things.
On a much different note- something happened to Zoe. She has a bunch of bad bruises and we have had some blood work done with more to follow. We have been in the ER and they think it is something that started with a virus. Her platelets are extremely low so we have to be really careful right now. There can be no rough housing and if there is any bleeding or head trauma it's straight to the ER. I am bringing her to the hematologist tomorrow so please say a little prayer that all will be ok with her. I'm sure she will be ok.

Countdown to Disney






First, I want to thank everyone who was concerned about my well being. I'm fine- I just faint once in a while. I am a little mortified when I see my pediatrician but so be it. We did find out that Zoe is allergic to penicillin. I really need everyone to be well for next week. We went to get spring shoes today at Stride Rite and we came very close to having a tiff with another girl. Zoe was playing with the interlocking wheels on the wall and some very cute girl ( looks are deceiving) came over pushed her out of the way and then wouldn't let her play. I very nicely told Zoe," tell her to share". Zoe's feelings were hurt so bad she wouldn't walk back over. I said a few things loud enough for the Mom to hear but I wasn't sure if she spoke English. I did tell Zoe if she touches you again- push her back. I'm not one to really want my children to have altercations with anyone but I don't want them picked on either. I want them to be able to hold their own. It makes me so sick to see these videos of kids beating each other up.
