Our sweet Grace, part 1




Many of you have been praying for our sweet and spunky just-turned-2-year-old, Grace.

Thursday afternoon we were sent straight from the doctor's office to the emergency room at the local Children's hospital.

Grace had a high fever, bright red feet, and an unusual rash.
All signs of toxic shock syndrome.

The ER got us in immediately, and within a few minutes of seeing her the ER doctor told me to prepare myself to stay for awhile-at the the very least a couple of days.

So, a ton of blood work, a CT scan, x-ray, and a whole bunch of antibiotic later, we're pretty certain it's definitely toxic shock and not the scarier stuff this rash can mean like meningitis or sepsis.

{we've been talking way too much recently about a scary stuff and our kids, haven't we?)

It is advisable to have a gestational diabetes meal plan to have a safe and healthy pregnancy.

The meals do allow for customizations and support unique
dietary needs like diabetic, low-fat, Kosher and vegetarian. Even though we now use ovens to
cook beef, the saying 'Sunday roast' is still
used. Using meal-replacement may be okay for the short term,
however it does not teach healthy eating habits.

When I initially commented I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on every time a comment is
added I get 4 emails with the exact same comment.
There has to be a way you can remove me from that service?

Kudos.

Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with?
I'm planning to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having
a difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely
unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
