Leslie learned to clap today. It's so sweet.

My first Mother's Day

We had a wonderful weekend. On Saturday we went to Game Farm Park in Auburn and walked around. The spring trees are so beautiful this time of year!

On Sunday we went to Edgewood Bible Church and Leslie was publicly dedicated to the Lord.

Ryan and Leslie got me a beautiful Sapphire and diamond necklace.

Naturopath

I just got back from taking Leslie to the Naturopath. It was so nice to have a doctor actually listen to me, allow me to add my input, and give non-invasive advice. Can you believe the doctor actually sat down with me and had a normal conversation? What a freeing time. I don't think I'll be returning to the ER for anything unless it's broken or bleeding again. I'm so glad I have someone to call on when I'm nervous about Leslie's health.

1st Emergency Room visit!

So today we took Leslie to the Emergency room for the first time. Beginning yesterday at about the time that double Jeopardy came on, Leslie began feeling very hot and had icy cold hands. Stephanie said that she thought she might be catching a cold or something. We eventually went to sleep as Leslie was not feeling well. SO, at about 4:30am this morning she woke up screaming- crying and shaking. We took her temp. and it was over 101 degrees. She felt extremely hot and was doing this kind of jitter, shaky weird thing which really made us uneasy. We calmed her down and went back to sleep until my alarm went off at around 6:45am. She woke up again screaming and shaking weirdly, so we decided that we should go to the doctor or something. So we met up with Steph's mom and headed to the doctor. Of course, it was closed so we went to the Emergency room. By this time Leslie was mostly calm but still not feeling well. They looked her over and couldn't find anything serious and just gave her some Tylenol to break the fever. They wanted to do every test that they could think of on her and thought that we were freaks for not having given her any immunizations yet - So we want to wait - BIG deal! I guess we must be horrible parents or something - anyway- we said um no thanks to some horrible test and that was about it. Stephanie was a little rattled over the whole thing and Leslie still is not up to par but she's doing a little better. We all went to Starbucks for a relaxing frap afterwards and I headed back to work - The End - Ryan
