Vampires & Lungs...........

What do you get when you cross a
Vampire with Pneumonia?
My daughters, Haleigh and Lauren...

Ok, ok...allow me to back up, because this is so NOT making sense right?

Lauren has a bad patch on her left lung that loves to go into pneumonia.
Why? Because it can, I spose. Why else? To make our lives hell, who knows.....because life cant be easy. Because God said..."Let there be hell on earth"....I dont know, I dont have all the answers, sheesh!

So, we are back to the doctor, I think I just need to bring my bed next time, with me. Set it up in the back. Would that be strange?

Antibiotics, steroids, breathing treatments if this cant get a hold on itself...Poor Lauren :(

Then God spoke and She said, "I shall turneth Haleigh into a pale
ghost- like phantom-apparition"

Poof! Done. Your wish is granted.
Ok, ok, so it didnt really go like that, but the child is pale. Phantom like.

White. Ok, ok, we all know she's white, but THIS white? Geez.

And THIS tired? Whats wrong with you child? You should be full of rum & liquor, I mean vim & vigor....well. You. Know. What. I. Mean.

So, I drag her butt back into the doctor (and, why didnt I bring my bed? *scratches head*) Well, see....she's got this eensy weensy itty bitty tinesy winsey hole in her heart. Its not a HUGE deal, but its enough of a deal, to not allow the blood flow from her heart to her brain when she stands, and well.....thump. There she goes. She blacks out. Syncope.
She'll outgrow it.

In the interim, it makes her funky.

Describe funky. Well, funky is this pale, ghost, phantom like child that tires easy and is losing months of her childhood.

Its not fair, I scream, its not fair ! ! !

Ohh, shut up Lori, who on earth told you life would EVER be fair?

Its almost like one big fat joke. But if lifes a joke, I sure DONT get it, do you?

I know, I know, stop torturing yourself, Lori.

Life will do it FOR YOU....

Ok, ok, I know I know. Something positive you say...
Start living with the glass half full, blah blah blah....
But honestly, life really is like a trampoline........

A cement trampoline.

The End.

Its Alive.....A-a-a-li-i-i-i-ve......

*Hides face in shame*

I cannot believe Ive been this bad at blogging.....man, do I suck or what?
Ok, do NOT answer that. Pfffttt......

But I have reasons.
No really. I do. I swear.
Seriously, I do.....there were 3 birthdays, 1 party & 1 pneumonia.

What? Come again, you say?
So, see? I have good reasons as to why....
Now, if it was just 3 birthdays and 1 party, well....I may not have been off the hook as easy....but throw in a case of pneumonia....Man....Now THAT's a good reason.

So poor Lauren is the *un*lucky one with the pneumonia.
We spent most of Saturday evening in the E.R.
And for anyone who has kids, you all know that its never "just"
a trip to the E.R. It's like a minimum of 3-4 hours, end of story.

They should hang a sign on the front entrance....Plan to Stay until next season... Plan to stay until your irritated....Plan to stay until your next Birthday.....Plan to stay until you are soo tired of waiting, they have you thrown out for vulgar language and random obscene gestures.

And for as progressed that our hospital here is, you'd think that humans will be replaced with robots soon....there's some bedside manner for ya!
I'm just complaining, I know....It could always be worse.

The E.R. Doc, even spoke English. And spoke it well. Very well.
I always get paranoid when a Foreign Intern waltzes in....I wait with bated breath to see if he can speak English....
Its sorta like going to those quicky nail salons, and everyone's Asian.

But you.....

You KNOW they are talking about you. Or how stupid your hair looks, or they are making fun of your outfit, your shoes...the nail color you picked out, etc.

Oh wow, I guess that's not a great correlation is it?

Oh well you get what I'm saying....dontcha?

So anyway....I had Lauren to the doctor just last week...within 2 days later, she had developed a full case of Pneumonia.
So keep your kiddies checked....without an Xray they would NOT have picked it up, and she would have been hospitalized by today, if we hadn't caught it in time.

On a Beady lil' level....I have some NEW glass to play with!
Calm down, I know how excited you are, but you must get a grip, now.

The new CIM's Berry, and a purple to die for.
Well...I wouldn't really die for it...but if I was into that sorta thing, its the perfect color....all grapey and yummy.

I'll be back.....just hold your breath....

No, slash that. Don't hold your breath, I don't want to be responsible for anything......

Godspeed.............................Lori
