We're Back!

It has been a while! We have had an exciting few weeks. We went to Las Vegas to hang out while Chris had a meeting. We saw the "Bodies" exhibit. If you have the chance to check it out--it is amazing. Augi waved and said hi to each and every body. I know, it's a little creepy--but it is educational! She'll probably grow up to be a mortician or something now.
Then, there was the allergic reaction. Augi took some amoxicillin to clear up a supposed virus turned bacterial infection (She had been coughing for weeks). She finished up the meds on Monday and on Tuesday we noticed a few little hives on her neck. They quickly spread and she was incredibly uncomfortable. So, I took her to the doctor. He said to give her some Zyrtec because the benadryl wasn't working. We couldn't sleep because we had to watch her breathe. It was terrifying. By Thursday, she was lethargic and refusing to stand/walk. She swelled up so big that by Friday the hives had turned into bruises. She was black and blue from head to toe. Although we hated giving it to her, a steroid cleared up the hives overnight. She stayed up til midnight and she was bouncing off the walls, but she was better. She has some discoloration left from the hives, but otherwise she is back to her normal self. Here is a crummy picture of the itchy hives:

It's about time you updated your blog! I like the way dolly is in the first 2 photo's. The rash looks awful I'm glad she's better.
