Okay so not to be a whiner here, but I think she's getting an ear infection. Argh! She came up to me a bit ago saying that her ear was hurting her and like I said, shes been off anyway. Good thing McDr called today and we talked for awhile and she said (before any mention of ear pain) that she wanted to see her and get some labs done that Dr. Hahn (Seattle) wanted so on Friday we will go ahead and go in.
We've been dealing with a lot of peeling piggys :/ It's happened to her since birth but it still hurts to the point that she won't walk on her feet. We've tried OTC remedy's, 'script ones, etc. and nothing helps until they've completely skinned themselves and start to regrow. This usually coincides with other strange things like her need to have a lot of sugar to get moving. I am not talking about candy but more along the lines of woke up screaming>Larry and I restraining her>forcing her mouth open>dumping juice into it and then from there we do it again until she swallows it and it takes about 60 seconds for her to calm down and realize that she's alright. Then she will guzzle the juice down and be a completely different child than she was 10 minutes ago. ???? Anyone care to pipe up with an answer 'cause we've got none!
Both my brother and my mother are really sick with some wicked stomach virus crap that is going around and I have banned them from my house. My mom lives 90 minutes away so that's not a big deal and my brother lives 45 minutes away but still, unless they are in Hazmat suits they are banned until further notice. Larry thinks I am crazy...I happen to disagree, I think I am perfectly sane.
Tomorrow morning we are going to go and lay a smack down on some woman who thinks she knows our daughter better then we do and even better than McDr. This has been an ongoing battle that we've been dealing with and the proverbial straw was broken today and I am not sure what she thinks she is doing. McDr is frustrated with this person and I am thinking how much jail time I'd have to spend if I just did the V8 commercial to her forehead along with a heaping of "here's your sign" but again...Larry thinks I am crazy. If you've ever had a child or loved one with any sort of malfunctioning system then you know what I am talking about in this lady--she thinks that things are ALWAYS by the book and things ALWAYS follow a set path. She clearly is not a member of the "A" team.
Moving on...
I was taking some pictures of what it means to live in Alaska and some of Alana outside (in 0 weather. And yes, schools here go outside until it's -10..m i n u s 10) and as we go to leave when what to my wandering eyes should appear, a moose making a traffic jam with nary a care. (OOO I can totally quit my day job and be poet) so we got some nice shots of a pretty typical day around these parts, wildlife and all.
You all in the "lower 48" remember my frozen toes and cold fingers at -3 (current temp) when you are enjoying your +60s and 70s!!

Beautiful pics Jess and you ain't crazy! I would do just as you are...be the momma bear and cuff hard! Your cub, back off! hehe
Give her a wee snuggle for me. Her package should be there soon with smiles for all of you. I will think on the feet thing...I know a lady who makes natural balms...would it be safe for her? I'll get her some if you'd like to try it. Love Sage/Debs
Glad you got the message through to the person who obnoxiously presumed to control your care of your daughter (ooooh that's a hot topic for me!). I hope she gets over the pneumonia and cohabiting infections quickly!
