Church, graduation and a Doctor visit

On Sunday we took Kalli to church for the first time.  She went to Sunday School and in to big church with us.  She did good!  She was a little noisy but Lex assured me that it wasn't as loud as I thought it was.  ha!  After church we had lunch at my parent's.  Some of our cousins were in town so we got to visit with them too! 

We planned on taking family pictures at my sister's house that day, but it was too windy and we didn't want to risk getting the babies sick.  We ended up going to the club house where Mo and Pop live.  Kagen wanted to do the picture taking.  I have about a 100 random pictures on my camera that she took. 

This is one of the pictures Kagen snapped. 

I thought getting one child to look and smile at the camera was hard.  Now it's twice as hard!! 

My sweet niece Ciara. 

After pictures we went to visit with Mo, Pop and Charlotte before heading home.

Monday night my parent's watched Kagen so we could take Kalli to her NICU graduation.  It was wonderful seeing the nurses and doctors again and all the other families. Kalli did so good and loved looking at all the other babies.  She had her graduation picture taken and got a cute t shirt.  I wish we could have seen all the nurses that cared for her but, I'm thankful for the ones we did see.  They are all amazing people that really care about their patients.  I could never thank them enough for the care they gave Kalli.  They ALWAYS had smiles on their faces and were so encouraging. 

Dr Morris is an amazing woman!  She took such great care of Kalli and always explained things where I could understand.  She was the one that admitted Kalli AND discharged her.  We were so blessed by all the Doctors but especially Dr Morris. 

Dale was one of the sweet nurses that helped us.  We also knew him through a mutual friend and he was a patient of mine when I worked for Dr Black. 

Ericka(left) and Jennifer(right) are two of the sweetest girls you will ever meet.  They are angels.  Ericka was one of the NICU nurses in the delivery room with me when I had Kalli. She took such good care of Kalli.  Jennifer is equally as wonderful.  She knows my sister and a friend of mine so it was a blessing to have her as well! 

 Sunday night we noticed Kagen had a rash on her sides.  (She had been taking Amoxicillin for about a week for a double ear infection) We gave her some Benadryl but, the next morning the rash looked worse.  I called the Doctor but, they were booked up so they scheduled Kagen to come in the Tuesday morning.  It worked perfectly because Kalli was getting her second Synagis shot. 
So yesterday we got up early and headed to the Doctor.  The Doctor thinks it could be an allergic reaction the the antibiotic or it could be something else but, she doesn't want to risk giving her the medicine again.   So no school for Kagen at all this week and she is going to be taking a steroid medicine and Bendadryl.  Fun!!  Hopefully it will clear up fast.  I know she has to be miserable!! 


This weekend I am suppose to go to Grapevine with my mom and sister for our annual shopping trip.  I'm really looking forward to it but, I am also nervous about going.  This will be the first time I've spent the night away from Kalli since she came home.  I know she will do good, it's me that will be a nervous wreck.  And I hate leaving Kagen when she has this rash.  I hope it goes away by this weekend.  It will be a nice break but I know I will be SO ready to get back home.
