April was a very hectic month. I went back to ND over spring break, and Nate and I decided to let Addison stay there for a couple weeks while I went back to WA. I took her to the clinic before I left, because she had a cold that she just wasn't getting over. She was diagnosed with Strep throat. She was prescribed antibiotics. A few days later, she started to get a fever, so my parents took her to the doctor. While she was in the waiting room, her fever rapidly spiked, and she had a febrile seizure. This is a very common type of seizure in young children (1 in 25 children will have one during their childhood). To make a long story short, the antibiotics did not kill all of the bacteria, and the strep went into her blood stream. She was hospitalized for three days, and she went back to the ER after she was released due to a reaction from the IV antibiotics. It was a very scary time for everyone. I ended up flying back to ND during her hospitalization. She is doing very well now. She is her normal two-year-old self ;) There are no lingering effects from the infection or the seizure. Here are several pictures from the last month.
Addison discovered the moon in the sky the other evening.
"MOON!"
Addison LOVES her sidewalk chalk that she got from Cody and Michelle for her birthday. Everyday she asks "Color please outside."
"The camera light is too bright, mommy!"
Addison ate strawberries, whipped cream, and angel food cake every night with Papa. She didn't bother using a spoon :)
