"Sick and Happy"

Ok, so really there is not a lot of "happy" that went on this last week, but on Sunday Lacy asked me "I sick mommy?" and I said in an empathetic voice, "Yes, sweetheart, you are sick." And Lacy says, "Oh, am I sad mommy?" and I told her she did not have to be sad. Lacy thinks and then says "OH! I am sick AND HAPPY Momma!" And she told everyone Sunday and Monday that she was 'sick and happy' :)

After the tests on Tuesday, we all went back to my parent's house and started up Lacy favorite video and she had a 'picnic' while watching the video-VERY cool:) Mom and I ran an errand and took Lacy with us. My mom got her a chocolate smoothie at a drive through coffee house-HUGE hit. Then, later my mom had been saving something and decided Tuesday was the perfect time to pull it out. It was! It was the tents that Cory I used and LOVED as little kids. Lacy was so excited and we let her stay up a little late because she was truly happy for the first time all day. Eddy had to leave for Hood River soon after we had lunch and Lacy and I stayed behind.

Wednesday I had planned on going home, but it took me three hours longer to get us out the door because she was clinging to me and just a mess in horrible pain. Lacy feel right asleep when we got in the van, but woke up about 1/2 way home, crying out in pain while we were on the highway. We came home with lots of things but nothing was unpacked and messes were made because I was not about to do dishes while Lacy screamed in pain. And Thursday went about the same and then as you read before Friday we ended up at the ER.








These photos are from Sunday Lacy decides that the best place to entertain yourself while sick, is IN the toy basket. Look how she smiled for me!


Here are the tent photos from Tuesday. I love the 3rd one. You can't see my dad, but he had been making Lacy laugh and I caught THAT part:)





















Over the weekend and yesterday, Lacy spent a lot of time taking medicine and watching videos. I just let her watch after attempting to do low-key activities failed. She just wanted to lay on the couch. So, some extra short-term videos won't hurt:) Ok, can you SEE how sick Lacy looks in her eyes while she drinks her medicine. And, I am not sure why, but I just can't get over how adorable she looks as she puckers up to drink her little cup of medicine.


Over this last week, we have received an out-pouring of love. People sending emails, offering help, calling to check in, stopping by just to give hugs, and most importantly praying for us. That REALLY encouraged us. Thank you to all of you for showing us you care. Thankfully we will be moving on and so happy this chapter is closed. We still will be following up on some of Lacy's symptoms that are lingering, but Lacy will not be enduring any invasive tests any time soon, and we are so thankful for that.
