We have been out of school for the past two days due to the icy weather and will be out tomorrow also. It has rained, sleeted, snowed, and iced here for the past few days. I haven't accomplished much but oh, well.
Kendall is kind of sick again with congestion and coughing. I was going to take her today but with the weather, I just called the doctor and asked for them to call her something in. They gave her an antibiotic (which I knew she needed), cough/congestion medicine, and I refilled her albuterol for the nebulizer. She is asleep at the moment which may not be so good when it comes to bedtime. But she was fussy and sleepy, I think because of her medicine. Hopefully, this will get her well.
This past Sat. I took Chance to Lexington to play in the 6th grade State Tournament. The facility (5 courts) was a lot like the place Corey played at last year in Louisville (7 courts), but just not as nice. They lost both games but the first game was a tight one. The second one was a blow out.
Chris has been cutting and dying Chance's hair. It is blondish-red! The cut looks pretty good though. Corey wouldn't let him cut his. He really needs it cut.

This makes two Mondays in a row that I have missed school because Kendall has been sick. She was getting over the pneumonia last week and she is throwing up today. She started throwing up at around 9:30 last night and then all night long. She is really weak and pale today. She has thrown up twice this morning. I went to town and got her some pedialyte. She has kept that down so far. I also bought some of the popsicles but they aren't frozen yet. Hopefully she will get better as the day goes on.
Chance's team lost for the first time on Sat. Chris was a little upset about that. They got beat by a last second shot. Chance scored 29 of the 35 points. Corey's team won. He scored 24 or so of the 35 points for his team. He also played in Casey Co. Sat. night but they got beat. They just went to have fun and get some experience. They had not even practiced or anything. They did pretty good considering they hadn't practiced.

Christmas Break.... well not really. Kendall went to the doctor 3 times over the break. The last time resulted in a 3 1/2 day stay in the hospital. She had a bad bronchitis that went into pneumonia. She was in breathing distress. She was wheezing with every breathe. I was actually thinking we would be staying longer. She really hadn't stopped wheezing completely when Dr. Winit let us go home. I was thankful though. It was a very tough time for me physically and mentally. She is so used to getting down and playing and running around but she couldn't get down at the hospital. The nurses put an IV in her right hand, a oxygen/pulse monitor on her right big toe, and she had oxygen in her nose. Needless to say, she was not comfortable. I was constantly trying to keep her occupied and pacified. She seems to be doing better now but she is not completely well. I am planning on taking off a couple of days to stay with her just in case. I definitely don't want her to end up back in the hospital.
Chance and Corey are doing well, thank goodness. We are looking at a busy week with basketball with them. The only free night is Friday night. Here is the schedule:
