Sick

My poor girl has had what I thought was a cold for 3 weeks now. Finally Friday I decided the poor girl has dealt with it long enough and I called the doctors office. Well, come to find out, her doctor only works Mondays now and is booked until mid-November! Obviously that wasn't going to work, so I had to schedule her in to see another doctor for today (luckily they are open 7 days a week!) So this morning at 9 I took Emily in to a doctor she had never seen before...if you know my daughter, she is just like me and extremely shy around people she doesn't know. Most doctors are very patient and understanding...not this one. I was less than impressed with her and refuse to let my daughter see her again. However, we did get a diagnosis of a bacterial sinus infection and she is now on some really strong antibiotics for 5 days. If they don't work, I am taking her back in and seeing the P.A. that we have seen before and I love. So, let's hope she gets feeling better soon.
Last Wednesday Emily went on her first fieldtrip of the school year. They went to a pumpkin patch in Corvallis. She got to pick out a pumpkin, which all of the pumpkins were green, and in the words of Emily, got to go on a ride with hay seats! She was exhausted when they got back. My parents picked her up because my mom and dad both got off of work around the time they were supposed to be back (the bus ended up getting back over an hour late because of construction.) But I do believe they all had fun. Next week they are having a Halloween party and she gets to wear her costume!
Speaking of Halloween, I was supposed to get the night off, but my manager "forgot" and is now unable to give it to me. So I will miss her very first Trick or treat experience, but hopefully my mom can take her.

First Day of Preschool 9-21-2010

Emily really missed school over the summer and couldn't wait to go back. When we walked into class, her teacher was so excited to see her, I wish I had a camera on had to record their facial expressions! So far her teachers have said that they are quite surprised at how much she has changed over the summer and how much she has come out of her shell. She is interacting with kids this year and helping other kids. I am quite proud!!
In other news: We are already on round 2 of the cold. She was sick for about 2 weeks with the cold, and just came down with it again Thursday night...this time much worse. Luckily this morning she is feeling tons better. My parents have been so great with watching her and taking care of her while I am working so much. My dad even sacrificed watching football yesterday so Emily could watch some Disney movies and cuddle.
Will have to post another blog soon...I have tons of fun pictures, just the lack of time to post them!
