SNOWDAY???

HI EVERYONE!!

As we anxiously await

the next storm,

be safe & stay warm.

XOXO

It's Finally Saturday!!!

This week had to have been one of the

l o n g e s t

weeks in the Keicher house!!

Hannah's started with a fever on Sunday and it lasted for 6 days...

...On Monday, we went to the Dr's.

Dr Vaughan did a urine test to check for a UTI.

All was clear. He said that the fever was probably a sign of what's to come.

Monday night her temp hit a high of 105.5 :(

After talking with the Dr Cozza, at 10pm, he assured me that she was okay. He also told me that he wasn't concerned about how high her fever was. He said that it was good that she has one. It was her body's way of fighting whatever is trying to attack it.

Tuesday and Wednesday the fever was up and down. It was kept under control with Tylenol.

As soon as the Tylenol wore off we were back up there :(

~Not exactly the way to spend the week off~

Thursday morning we woke up to 103.8 and I brought her back in to the Dr's.

They tested for strep and strains of the flu.

Again, tests came back negative...

...This time we saw Dr. Leonard. She was trying to figure out what this was and what's the next step. Well, seeing that Hannah's main complaint was the fever, no throwing up or diarrhea, we would give it till Monday. Either it was a virus that needed to run it course...or...if no change by Monday, we would go all out with testing.

Thankfully, Friday seamed the brightest day of the week. Other then waking with about 102 temp, she progressed the rest of the day and has been fever free since late Friday morning!! YEA!!

We took her out for a bit today. Headed to the mall for about an hour. That is one of the things she was hoping to do over break. We had lunch in the food court and then took advantage of the "Free Pretzel" promotion that Auntie Anne's was having till 3pm today. We visited her favorite store, Claire's, for a new head band and some Shamrock earrings.

She did well.

Now we just need to work on getting her strength back

and putting some meat back on her bones!!

Hopefully, we can enjoy Sunday...

...the last day of our winter break:)

Fat Tuesday

I don't think any words are necessary... It was very yummy.
Thanks mom & dad for the special delivery
and for keeping up with the
"Fat Tuesday" tradition.

Boy is it good to see a smile on that face.

Hannah has been battling a bug of some sort.

Last night's 105+ temp scared the heck out of all of us.

I'm glad she is smiling again.

It's hard to enjoy the week off when you are sick!!

~Feel better baby girl!!~

Happy Valentine's Day

What is the greatest gift you could give or receive on Valentine's Day???

~ LOVE ~

~Happy Valentine's Day~

Valentine Boomas

What is better then 1 red heart balloon???12 red heart balloons or boomas as Kailyn calls them:)
Couldn't resist them.
Now we are all ready for Valentine's Day :)

Hannah & Kailyn

At the exact time I went to take this picture...The phone rang.

This is the face Kailyn makes, just before announcing "call, call"

when the phone rings.

Awwwwww...sisters!!!

Good old Rusty. Always close by.

Eskimo kiss anyone??

K making her silly face :)

What's New??

So what's new with the Keicher's you ask???

Well...I'm happy to report we are all doing well.

~We did have a rocky start a few weeks ago with the flu bug:(

I'm glad it is over, thankfully Kailyn and I didn't get it as bad as

some had. It lingered on and I didn't think it would ever go away.

~I completed a 3 day steroid treatment.

Due to illness, it took 6 days to get the 3 day treatment in.

However, it is complete and again, I'm glad it is over.

~Looking forward to the Super Bowl!!

I will be rooting for the Colts. They have always been my 2nd favorite team.

Also looking forward to the comercials:)

~Getting ready for Valentine's Day.

Valentine party at school on Friday 2/12.

~February Break!!!

1 week off of school for Hannah and and a week of nights off for me from the studio!!!

~Deciding on how we want to celebrate the girls birthdays.

I told Hannah she could have a friend party in addition to the family party we are planning.

She is very excited and knows exactly who she wants to invite.

That should bring you up to date.

I'll post some pictures soon:)
