More of Life in April

After a fun lunch on Friday with Kellie

We ate at Rock n' Taco on McKinney Avenue

It was really close to Scottish Rite Hospital, and it worked out as a nice meeting place after Simon's appointment.

This week Simon gave the best description of someone,

"Of all the friends I have found, he is the best. Because he is just so kind."

Simon took this picture.

Simon took A LOT of pictures, but some are a little invasive of other people's privacy.

Ya'll might enjoy this conversation I just had with Simon as I prepared his shower:

Me: Simon, that's too much toilet paper.

Simon: Mom, stop worrying about toilet paper and think about God.

Me: What are you talking about?

Simon: I know that verse about not making anything your idol, and it's like toilet paper is your idol because you are thinking about it more than God.

While Scottish Rite Children's Hospital is amazing, and it feels like they should charge admission for all of the displays ..... it was such a long morning waiting to see both doctors and getting all of the lab work done.

Kids and I were going a little stir crazy behind closed doors.

The park for Scottish Rite.

We might be going there for a picnic in a couple of weeks.

The arthritic team thinks Simon's arthritis is definitely viral-onset arthritis. Which is good news because it will eventually go away. It was probably brought on by mono. From what we understand, if it was juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, it would probably be something he has forever.

This week I had to break down and take both kids to dr, since their coughs (mostly Evies) sound like pneumonia. Their other 'main' symptom was sick breath, and it was what put me in motion for the dr's visit.

Simon has strep, and Evie has an ear infection so they are both on meds this week.
