So a LOT has happened since we all became ill with the flu. We started spreading it back and forth and I think we all ended up with at least 3 or 4 colds each.
Logan came down with hives about 2 weeks ago. He woke up with them on his legs, I called hubby told him to come home from work, and he took us to the emergency room. (Logan's doctor wasn't seeing any patients last month) By the time we got back to get his oxygen levels and height/weight checked his bottom lip had started to swell up. They gave him two medications orally, and a shot in the leg to bring the swelling down fast because of how bad it was spreading. We were there for about 2 to 3 hours total.
Since then, I started my volunteer work two days a week, four hours a day at the local KidZone. It is so much fun, I look forward to helping out every Friday and Saturday. They also do birthday parties there, so hubby and I are talking about planning one of Logan's parties there.. (probably after Hawaii 2012 vacation)
I've also contacted my local Project Linus Chapter, and signed up with them. I just started creating my first blanket last night.
The main reason I signed up is my son has received two beautiful Project Linus blankets, one when he broke his arm, and the second one just two weeks ago when he woke up with hives covering his legs. Both blankets are beautiful, the second one is quilted and has kitties all over it so of course Logan just loves it.
Seeing how much joy a simple thing like a blanket can bring a sick kid, especially my sick kid made me want to help out. Since Project Linus relies on donations of handmade blankets, I figured I could crochet some.
I've also signed up to be a host for Child's Play Party... Still learning more about it, so will post information as I get it.
That's all for now. :)
