Day 12~ Yes, We're alive!

Ok, someone here has been sick with a really weird virusy thing for 12 days....I've been counting. It started with Kristin....and proceeded to last a long time with each person and didn't spread very fast. Now, everyone but Julie has had it. Katie got it last and is running a low grade fever now. I will spare you the multitude of symptoms but trust us (uh...gross!!) we're hoping to be at the end. Time will tell. For 12 days, someone has been sick, with the majority being well, all at the same time. It makes for a hard dynamic for normal life (whatever that is!!)You can't go anywhere because there's someone sicko that has to go with and can't, so the well people go crazy while the sickly one(s) suffer. Sad, sad, sad.(Do I hear violin strings playing for mama??) Here's some pics of what we've been doing....not much :) Although, for you that know all the girls stories...in the rough moments of these past days..I keep thinking about the individual attention they're getting now, vs. where they were...and it is a huge motivator to 'press on'. I do wonder if anyone held Katie when she was sick at the orphanage. Anyway, she's the velcro baby now!!:) Held CONSTANTLY:)Miss Leni's asthma kicks in with stress and it seems better today...and Kristin is back to her usual blonde ambition! The parents, however, could use a cruise....any donations?? Anyone? Anyone?
