Well, I never imagined my New Year's Eve would be spent in an Emergency Room! Gabi has been active, energetic, and couldn't wait to stay up until midnight. We just got back from the video store and had the meatballs in the oven when Rick got home from work. Gabi complained that her neck was bothering her when she touched it or turned her head. So Rick and I checked her neck and we were both shocked to see her glands swollen to the size of golf balls! Due to the sheer size of her glands we immediately headed to the ER. The nurse said it had to be fighting off something and it looked like that something was winning! She did a quick throat culture and sent it to the lab. It came back positive for strep! Gabi was quite upset to hear that our trip to see her new baby cousin would be put on hold for a few weeks now. Well, she was determined to make it to midnight last night and that she did! Here's to a great 2009!

What a tough little thing! Hope she is one the mend soon!
For about three or four years IN A ROW, my youngest sister spend Christmas Eve / Christmas Day in the ER for ear infections! It was the strangest, saddest thing.
Strep sucks! I hope your daughter is doing better.
That is crazy! Poor little thing, you must have been totally freaked out.
Poor Gabi!! I hope she's feeling better now.
Hope she's feeling better soon.
