Another Week in Paradise

This was an interesting week for the McCants. The week started relatively normal and then went downhill from there. Wednesday morning I woke up really nauseous, but decided to grin and bear it. I took the girls to get hair cuts. It was actually Madalyn's very first haircut. She was great. She sat right in the firetruck and waited patiently as the barber trimmed her baby curls. That whole process went great. We went home and all took a nap. Well, when I woke up I was not only nauseous, but I had a headache too! Then came the aches all over. Turns out, I had come down with a mysterious virus that had managed to sneak past my children and find me first. Madalyn is usually the first to introduce a new illness to the family!

I was sick all night and then Thursday Robert took Anna Grace to school and Madalyn to Tulie's house. Funny thing was that Robert's car battery was dead that morning. It never fails!! What a blessing! I had a whole day to recover from a 24hr virus.

Friday started with another dead battery. (the same one) Every time Robert connected the jumper cables his car alarm would sound. I think we may have made some enemies that morning. We finally got his car started and I was feeling great. As soon as Robert pulled out of our neighborhood the skies opened up and the rain started. It poured for most of the morning so we played inside!

We continue to concentrate on Madalyn's speech. Robert says he is seeing some progress, but I am not content. Robert and I are hoping that her lack of speech is nothing other than our enabling her to point and grunt, but we also feel like we should be proactive. I would rather have evaluations done now rather than wait and wish that we had done something sooner. We will pursue something called Baby NET this week. Hopefully we can schedule some kind of evaluation. It may take several weeks to do this. Please keep all of us in your prayers.
