Perhaps some of you are wondering, "Why did Pam's week long blogging break turn into a month of no posts?"  I was sure that when the excitement of the holidays was over it would be back to business as usual.  I was feeling better from my recent medical problems and was excited about starting a new semester. 

I noticed that my daughter was feeling bad for several weeks in November, but since she has asthma, I attributed her symptoms to that.  No!  She had a severe sinus infection.  It was causing her blood pressure to skyrocket, dehydration, fainting spells, and other problems.  She was very sick.  We thought that after her two week dose of the strongest antibiotics available and a major diet change, she would be well.

Nope!  Instead, she got worse. Back to the doctor we went.  This time the doctor suggested because she had been on antibiotics so long (several times since September) that they are no longer working.  Plus, her sinuses were so backed up that she is barely able to breath.  Only a couple of pinhole size spaces are available for her to breath through. The doctor told her,  "I don't see how you are still functioning."  Her doctor recommends sinus surgery because something is wrong with her sinuses.

We are visiting an ENT tomorrow to find out what the verdict will be.  Therefore, I have been missing blogging to "do mothering."  I do miss everyone and hope I will be able to catch up soon!

On to more fun topics, my son received this gift (his favorite!) for Christmas.

My son says, "Nothing says love like a new weapon."
