Mimi's digi-Scraps: I'm ba-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

I'm back. I've been back for a while, but haven't had much time for blog postings. A couple days after we got back, my littlest monster started running a fever. By the evening, the fever was pretty high, and he wasn't wanting to eat. I was thinking that he might have strep, which would explain him not wanting to eat (his throat was hurting). Since the clinic was closed, and he was obviously distressed, I took him to the ER. They checked his ears, did a quick strep test, found nothing, so sent us home, having given him a popsicle and a does of Motrin (I could have done that MUCH more cheaply at home!!) The Dr said it was probably a virus and we'd just have to ride it through. Well, he continued to run his fever all weekend and through the week, which we just tried to keep down by alternating Tylenol and Motrin. It was finally gone on Thursday, but he was still acting clingy and whiny, and not really eating. Then he developed a rash on Saturday. By Sunday it was a raging rash and even extended to his palms and bottoms of his feet (rare for a rash to do). Long story short--took him into the clinic, he has STREP!!! After all this time, my poor baby HAD been fighting with strep, and it could have been gone over a week ago!! He's been on meds for 2 days now, and is already back to himself. Praise God!

I haven't had much time for designing, but I do have a new template set in the shop, "Sweet & Simple"and will have at least one new kit in the shop by this Friday.
