Why do I hate taking my kids to public play places?

Because all the other little sick brats are there spreading their germs all over the fun, interactive learning toys. Well just this past friday we went to the L.A. County Fair(pictures to follow another day and time) and had a blast. That night we get home and the Croup starts which, in turn, begat Conjunctivitis. Poor Sarah was so sick yesterday with the coughing, fever, runny nose, stuffy nose, and goopy, sticky goop pouring out of both eyes. The poor girl couldn't hardly see anything since it was so mucusy. We had to get up every 2 hours and wake her up to clean her eyes out. It didn't help that Kaiser doesn't have after hours nurses on the phone so we relied on the power of the Priesthood and Jeremy gave her a blessing. By morning, her eyes had crusted over just a little and the mucus was completely gone. I gently cleaned the last of the crust off her lashes and the swelling went down tremendously. She has some red puffiness under her eyes making her look like she is going through some serious withdrawls(probably from candy) but the fever is gone and she is almost back to her sass-mouth ways. I am so thankful to have the Jeremy and his worthiness to hold the Priesthood and be so willing to bless us when we need it. I don't think we could have survived the night had we solely relied on Kaiser to take care of our little Sarah. I have a firm testimony that our Father in Heaven is watching over us and is more than willing to bless us when we are worthy of it. I know that he can never say no to little ones since they are so dear to his heart just like Sarah and Emily are so dear to mine.

I'm so sorry you had sick kids! And so happy they got better. Say hi to your kids for me.

I'm sorry Sarah got sick, but it sure is a great blessing to have the priesthood in your home.

Those dirty carnies.

Ugh! Conjunctivitis is the worst, and it is so contagious... One time we took Ben to McDonald's only to have some kid spew all over the slide. ARRRRRGGGHH!

Why does everything fun have to be so dirty?

I am so glad that she is feeling better, and I am warmed by your testimony and faithfulness living the gospel.

Nursery can be just as bad! :)
