You know you're a doctor's family when...
... your kids get pneumonia at age 5 and 2! Good grief! It's the second time in less than 18 months that we have had pneumonia in the family! Kate has it now... we caught it earlier than when Izzy had it, thankfully, so she is avoiding a hospital stay most likely. But with a new baby in the house, it is a little scary, I have to say.
This came on super fast. Fever didn't even start until middle of the night Monday. We were treating Kate's illness like a run of the mill flu bug until yesterday, when she started to get those tell-tale pneumo signs. By late afternoon, I suspected that this was not your usual virus. So I took her to this great doctor at Jensen Family Medicine (he's pretty handsome, too) and he walked her over to get a chest x-ray at San Tan Urgent Care while I finished the day's kid shuttling. Scott and Dr. Brooks are great friends... anyway, they both spotted the pneumonia -- left lung. After a priesthood blessing and some serious antibiotics, we are on the road to recovery today. Oh, and she's got pink-eye on top of it! So if you're in the neighborhood... don't stop by! Run away! Run far, far away! ;-)

I'm so sorry about the kids being so sick. That's never fun for anyone.
I am SO excited to see you blogging again though. Keep them coming! I love the picture of you and Elaina right after she was born and the candids in this post were great too!
