An Update

I thought I would post an update on the RSV situation that is being passed around over here. We are all sick! Yuck. Ross is the worst off and I am just weak. Maybe I am just exhausted! Shelby is singing to me from the floor right now. She has not gotten any worse and maybe a little better. She just shows occasional symptoms of a cough, a sneeze, a fever, etc. She is still very smiley and talkative. We are still giving her breathing treatments. She does not mind them very much. Ross did go to work today. He is only working a half day and then his boss' boss is taking everyone to Dave & Buster's. Dave & Buster's is Chuck E Cheese for adults. We do expect daddy to come home with some sort of cheesy prize for Shelby from all of the tickets he wins playing all the games.

We are really sad because Aunt Kelsey and Uncle Charlie were supposed to come and stay with us yesterday before they had back to San Diego. We ended up having to call them and tell them it probably would not be a good idea since we were all sick and not moving too swift. We will have to make a trip to San Diego to see them when Uncle Charlie gets back from Iraq.

We did have plans for tonight to go to a casino night party. Those are definitely canceled. Hopefully it will be a quiet night at home. I did have lots of people call and check up on Shelby and we really appreciate the calls and prayers. Grandma and Grandpa Leyendecker have been calling everyday from Sonora. This is no easy task as they have to climb the tallest hill on the ranch and then some rocks on top of the hill to get their cell phones to work. Usually it is grandpa that calls but yesterday grandpa drug grandma up the rocks to find out the diagnosis.

I had a conversation with one of my grandmas about how Shelby is a big strong girl and she would be fine. That reminded me of something that happened at the Harlingen airport that I thought was funny. We were standing in line to board the plane behind a couple that I would say was in their seventies. They turned around and looked at Ross holding Shelby and the lady looked at me and said, "We had one that looked just like her and now she is 6'5". It is amazing that people can see that she is big for her age. She just looks like every other baby to me, except much cuter!

Happy New Year everyone!
