HSP

Just an FYI to all you Mom's out there, if your child's feet ever look like this......




your in for a long road!

HSP
"Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HEH-nawk SHURN-line PUR-puh-ruh) is a type of vasculitis, a group of disorders that cause blood vessel inflammation. In Henoch-Schonlein purpura, this inflammation causes bleeding in the small blood vessels (capillaries) in your skin, joints, intestines and kidneys. The main symptom is a purplish rash, typically on the lower legs and buttocks. Henoch-Schonlein purpura also often causes abdominal pain and aching joints, and in some people, kidney problems."

It took many Doctor's visits this week to finally get a diagnosis as to what the hell Madi had. They believe that the HSP was triggered by the strep that she came down with while in Mexico.
Other than looking like she's been beaten by a baseball bat, Madi seems to be back to normal. Kidney function is fine and blood levels are appropriate. It should work it's way out of her system in about 4 weeks. Yes, FOUR WEEKS! Poor baby...

If you like Pina Colada's.....

We just returned from an ever so needed vacation to Nuevo Vallarta Mexico! My parents were kind enogh to take the entire family for a week! Thanks Mom & Dad for the AWESOME trip! We had so much fun with the entire family and are SOOO lookin forward to the next one :)

Sick Day

Well the winter season is upon us and nothing says winter like a good old taste of the flu. The Morgan household is a swimming pea tree dish of infection this week. Despite getting vaccinated, we are all under the weather this week. I am so grateful for a husband that will help clean up puke in the middle of the night with me. So romantic :) Just happy that it will be over with before Turkey day!

Overheard

"Holy shit Mom, look at those crayons!"

Everyone knows that I have a mouth on me. But it became very apparent the other day while shopping at Target that it is time for me to begin watching what I say around the child...

Vacation Getaway

Finally, we were able to get some time off work and go to St. George to visit with Ryan's parents for a week. It was so relaxing. Swimming in the pool, running, shopping & playing golf :) Thank you Mom & Dad for letting us crash for a much needed break!

New Update

It has been a while from the last update. Life has been busy to say the least. Full of governing board reports, monthly operating reports & weekly projections. Yes this is the life of a hospital administrator. I am tired. Very tired. This has been a month from hell. To top it off, Ryan is just as busy. We are strangers as of late. Attempting to have a conversation once a day in between conference calls. When people ask us if we are having more kids, I laugh. We barley have enough time for one! I know that there are plenty of you out there that have 4 + kids and seem to handle it just fine. But I openly admit that I am not one of these women. I truly think we are OK with one. Yes one. I am looking forward to a wonderful weekend with my hubby and baby girl. It is so needed.

6 years and counting...

We celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary last week. Due to our busy schedules, we decided to combine Ry's 33rd birthday and our anniversary all in one weekend. We began the evening with sushi :) Then we did a little bowling, which I sucked at by the way. Then we went and saw Prince of Persia. The next day we had a date day at Lagoon. Neither of us have been there for over 10 years! We had a blast!! Thank you to Dantzel for taking Madi while we played! Ryan, I love you with all that I am. Thank you for always being supportive and for being such a wonderful father to our beautiful daughter. I love you!
