Long night last night...after a fun filled afternoon at the Hideout and pizza for dinner, Steve & I fianlly got the kids down and got to sleep around 11:30pm...then around 12:30 Karsten shows up in our bed with a little fever...by 2am he is smoking hot! His temp was 103.9! Very hot little boy! Fortunately the Tylenol helped (after 30min his temp only went down .7*! But within an hour he was much better!) Finally got him back to his bed and much cooler around 4am at which time Sydney turns on her lights and comes out ready to play! After putting her back down about 4 times it is now 6:30 or so...then at 7am Mak wakes up and says is it Morning Time yet?!?! I croak out NO and she actually goes back to bed for about 30 more minutes! Bless her little heart! Later when talking to Nanny she tells us they all slept in til around 9am! UGH! The good news is Karsten slept til noon and hasn't had a drop of fever since around 4am! He is bouncing off the walls today and you would never know that kid was so ill last night! Bad news is the blondies came here half way sick themselves and today Katie barely moved...she is now running a fever and coughing a lot. Always something going on at our house!

Steve, Syd & I met with DHS today about a program that helps people pay medical bills beyond what private insurance pays and when they make too much to qualify for Social Security Disability Income...pray that we got all the right information to them and that they will accept us! We spend around $10-12,000 a year on med bills beyond what our insurance will pay for...not cheap! This would be such a huge thing for us!

Tomorrow Steve & I leave to go on our church youth spring break trip to Dallas/Ft. Worth area! It ought to be a lot of fun! Then as soon as we get back home, we have to head straight to OKC to meet the kids & Suzanne at the Circus! Fire up! Saturday is a Brooks reunion in Blanchard and then Sunday Steve & I are getting to go to the Great 8 in St. Louis! Very exciting! Of course it would be better if OSU were playing, but still, it will be some great basketball!
