Well its now Christmas eve I had ran out to do a few erans and Mark (the best dad in the world) had given all the kiddos bath and they were waiting on me to get home to get dressed. Anna had put on her sweats and said Im staying here Im not feeling well. I talked her into going to Christmas Eve service with some pain med's. Then we returned home she yet once again had a fever of a 101' we gave her tylenol and a bath and broke it for a little bit. WE made it thru Christmas with lots of Prayer and tylenol. Then saturday night she went to bed again not feeling great and woke up @ 430 and said mom I have a h/a im nasueated and my eyes are burning. Well thats all I needed to hear and off to CHOA again. Except this time I was leaving till we got answers. And after several test and scans they diagnosed her with Mastoiditis. And attmitted into Scottish Rite, now the fun begins they inform me we will be here 14-21 days. Wow I thought thats a long time so I started talking to all the doctors on anna's team and told them she would do better at home so they are looking into the possibilities of letting us come home and me take care of her 24/7 the next 3 wks. Sorry back to monday I had asked for them to do a LP - Lumbar Puncture - under floroscopy to make sure the infection had not gotten into her CSF and caused menigitis. PRaise the Lord it hadn't. So the rest of the day anna just hung out on her back b/c after an LP you have to lay flat. Mrs Ann Sims from church came and sat with Anna so I could run home and deal with a house issue, love on my babies, take a shower and get a kiss from the hubby. Then back up here I came. WE meet with most of the dr's on Anna's team they have put together up here. Most of her culturals are back and are negative YEA!! They have diagnosed her with Chronis Sinutis (sp) and mastoiditis. Its wednesday now and annas had a couple of headaches that are pretty bad but with the help of tylenol 3 w/codine and Toredol coctailed together we having a smiling girl now.

I am so sorry I haven't been more diligent and keeping this updated. WE haven't had a great month. It started out on Dec. 8th Anna woke up and couldn't move her neck well her neurosurgeon and pediatrician both had a cow and we were brought to CHOA by ambulance. After several hours they said it was a neck spasm. Then the next day we went to see Dr Ashley and she said I think its a neck spasm. Well we went home and doctored this "neck spasm" which to this day I don't think was a neck spasm. And on the 12th we went back to see Ashely to get Anna's stitches out which was an ordeal. Then we came home and that night really late anna spiked a fever of a 102' we doctored till the next afternoon and it came back so we took her to the urgent care center which then they said she has an ear infection. Sent us home on antibioitics. Then on the 18th we ended back ath CHOA b/c her fever had spiked yet once again on med's. This time they diagnised her with a really bad sinus infection and sent us back home on the smae med's. Well anna really never got feeling great and well I start a new blog now.
