Our sweet niece Campbell gave us a little scare over Christmas... In sum, she had an infection in the skin around her eye that earned her a hospital admission for some IV antibiotics. A head CT on admission showed a mass in the sinus under her eye. She was sent up to Children's Hospital here in B'ham for further evaluation, and the mass turned out to be a giant wad of encapsulated mucus. Never have we been so excited to hear a diagnosis of snot! She did require surgery to drain it (don't worry, they took pictures) and a few more days in the hospital, but according to Lizzie she is feeling almost entirely back to normal now, PTL!
Here are a few other things I am loving these days...
1. That's right folks. We bid the Jetta farewell, and upgraded to a 4Runner! Unfortunately this is not ours in the picturesque location shown above, but you get the idea. It has made me much more excited to drive to the hospital in the early morning during this bitter cold weather we have been experiencing.
2. Speaking of remedies to bitter cold weather, these lovely travel mugs given to me by my sweet MIL at Christmas are fabulous. For those of you who require that eye-opener of caffeine in the morning, I highly recommend them. They are lightweight, dishwasher-safe, and stay vacuum-sealed (and therefore hot) for hours.
3. Photos of various Alabama fans with the National Championship trophy at Wal-Mart that have been popping up on the internet. Just fantastic...
4. All things Gap Body. Incredibly comfortable and always tagless, need I say more? My most recent purchase...
5. And finally, I get to reunite with these people in a few short weeks!!!! Little Lucy is now over a year and a half old... good grief, time sure flies by fast!
