What.A.Weekend.

Part A:
Anne Perry tested positive for the {flu} Friday afternoon.

The type B version that apparently pays no heed to the flu vaccine I succumbed all 5 of us to months ago. 

102 fever.

Good explanation for Audrey Kate's fever a week ago and current snottyness.

Good explanation for Addie's fever two weeks ago and current cough and snottyness.

Part B:
Paul also went to the doctor Friday.

No flu. No pneumonia.

Worse {cough} ever, to the point that he couldn't stop.

So he spent the weekend in the bed, doped up on cough medicine, sleeping so he wouldn't {cough up a lung}

And I am once again super thankful for my {mom}

It's now Monday.

Daddy stayed home from work.

Lower fevers.

{Less} coughing.

More snottyness.

Part C: Abbey
This actually didn't happen this weekend, but I think I'm slowly coming to grips with it...this weekend.

{Abbey}, our first baby...four legged baby, will be 9 in February.

She started developing Mast Cell Tumors about a year and a half ago.

Removed one. Six months later, another one. A year later, it's removed. Six months later another three removed. {One} month later, she has 10-12, rapidly growing knots on her sweet body. And I am sad.

They itch. She scratches. They turn to sores. Blood. Infection. Obvious pain. Need to be removed.

So here we are. We can't remove 10-12 of them. One incision can be up to 6 inches long to get clear margins. Not to mention the cost. Chemotherapy doesn't work unless they are removed. And then it's not a sure thing.

And she is a dog. And that's kinda where we draw the line. 

More will return. And they will grow.

For now, we do benadryl and prednisone.

And {wait}.

And I am sad. Very sad.

But on a happier {significantly less serious} note...

Part D: (not technically the weekend anymore...but that's ok!)
