January...

January was an eventful month for the Zdeneks. We kicked off the new year with a couple of trips to the Emergency Room and many trips to the doctor.
At the beginning of the month, Gracie's eczema was at it's worst which led us to an allergist to figure out if there was something she was eating that could be causing her rashy skin. Results: no allergies. Phew!
One Saturday morning Payton was hiding from Gracie and when she popped out to scare her, she caught her foot on her pj bottoms and fell onto the hard floor, causing her to put her top teeth into her lip. First trip to the Emergency room, thankfully no stitches.
The following Monday, Payton woke up at 2:30 with a cough that sounded like a barking seal and Payton saying she couldn't breathe. Second trip the ER.. thankfully a quick liquid steroid was given to her and she could breathe again and the bark went away. Sadly she still to this day is fighting a cough, but nothing like it was. Phew!!!!
Finally a couple of weeks ago I was leaving a girlfriend's home when all of a sudden I was doubled over in pain and couldn't move. The on-call nurse thought it might be appendicitis. Third trip the ER.. thankfully no appendicitis, just an ovarian cyst that will hopefully go away. My doctor took me out of work for a couple of weeks since the pain has been difficult, but I get to be home with the girls and that has been WONDERFUL!
Payton's swollen lip. It came down rather quick!
We're looking forward to what February has to offer. Hopefully no trips to the ER and a lot less money spent on co-pays. Happy New Year every one!! ;)
