`*Chillin With My Gnomies*`

Before We got sick back in November I knit these little guys for some friends of mine.








Athena no longer has staff infection which we are so grateful for thankyou for all your prayers and loving words it meant alot to us.
I still have not gotten the van fixed as I have gotten sicker and sicker with infection in my sinuses.
I had Friday labwork was put on 3rd antibiotic Levaquin and had a CT Scan will know results next week.
So no tree is up this Christmas but Hubby wrapped the gifts and in the morning we will take pictures and watch the girls faces light up over their presents and drink hot chocolate and read the Nutcracker and listen to TCHAIKOVSKY THE NUTCRACKER
SIMON RATTLE BERLINER PHILHAMONIKER gifts a friend of mine sent me that teaches ballet she thought the girls would love it:)
I sent out the picture Christmas Cards today one is making it's way to Grace.
I hope all my friends and their families have a safe and happy holiday together.
I know alot of us have been sick since Thanksgiving but with a New Year Brings New Hope.Hugs Darcy

When Bad Things Happen In 3's

Picture Taken At ER Of Athena's Leg











It all started a week before Thanksgiving found out I had an infection in my chest then we got a killer virus I refer to as the Terminator still trying to get over it.
Last Thursday our 4 yr old Athena was bitten by a poisonous spider and she had a fever then from her calf to her foot swelled up and I had to run her to The nearest ER 40 minutes away.
They said she had a staff infection and drew a circle around the infected area and said to get her into the pediatrician first thing in the morning and we did and it had spread both directions way past the lines and were even more red and swollen.
They had to give her 1 gram of antibiotics half in each thigh at one time and she has been on 2 oral antibiotics since then as well.
The swelling and redness is gone but the antibiotics are 5 times a day for a 10 day period.
I was just calming down from all of that when we got in a car wreck today now my back hurts and Iam emotional and exhausted.
I wanted all my blogging friends to know why my blog has been quiet.
I will eventually be back to keep you updated and hopefully our lives will get less crazy soon.Hugs Darcy
