Last day at Riverside

Goodbye's are not always easy...

It was also Grandparents Day. Grandpa and Grandma Smith came and spent the afternoon with Abigail. She had a very rough morning full of tears but by the days end was feeling a little better. 

Valentines

Valentines Day

Family dinner by candle light that Abigail absolutely LOVED! 

Abigail got a cute balloon bouquet and some chocolates

***Don and I chose not to give gifts this year. I really don't care for certain "Holidays" and Valentines day is one of them. I think it is silly and just another day to make us spend money. Don loves me and shows me everyday. I do not need a special day to get flowers and chocolates! But that is besides the point. We celebrate for the kiddo! Family dinner by candle light was just the greatest for us! 

Ba-humbug! 

Almost there

Almost there! Just a bit longer!

eyes

After a few weeks of eye issues and 4 different doctors, 4 different medications, and 4 different diagnosis Abigail finally gets the right diagnosis. Let's see she had: pink eye, eczema, an infection, and allergies. Eye drops, cream, ointment, and eye wash. Co-pay after Co-pay and a few hours wasted getting wrong care. After her eyes still were not getting better i took her to the eye doctor and within 5 minutes he diagnosed her. 30 minutes later she had a small procedure done and we were walking out the door. Abigail was diagnosed with beliferitis. It is a life long condition so it will not go away for ever. We have already had 2 flare ups since and currently are dealing with it now and hoping we don't have to go in for a procedure. We have to heat pack her eye, wash it, and if needed put prescription ointment on it. We felt so bad because she suffered for a few weeks. It was the right eye, then the left, then both... A few pictures of her eyes on the good days. 

This is what we have been trying to get under control this past month. Its a hard lump... gets pretty big and then will go down with a heat pack but we cant get it to go away.
