Let's celebrate...or not...

As many of you may know, we have spent more on co-pays in the last six weeks than I have on groceries in the last two months. Okay...well, that's not fair because I survive on coupons, but trust me...it's a lot! From Cardiologists, to Radiologists, to the lab, Allergist, Ped, you name it, I have shared the wealth...$20 here...$20 there. The good news is we took both kids to the doctor on Friday afternoon, Katie for her well exam and Conor for his umpteenth follow-up. In short, they did great! She stood on the scale, touched her toes, peed in a cup (yes, on her own), and received a clean bill of health. He got a passing "normal" on all of his tests, and was finally declared as "thriving", gaining 1.5 pounds moving him from the 5% to the 9%. Woo Hoo! I almost cried!


So needless to say, we came home Friday evening to celebrate! This is how we do it...Clark style. A little music, some good grub, and a few of our favorite frosty beverages. the kids have juice...promise (grin).

Then, Saturday afternoon Katie was hit with a stomach bug, spiked a fever of 105, and spent the evening puking. It was fun while it lasted!
