So Much to Share.

Our Walt Disney World Trip is going to be blogged over the next week. There is so much to journal and so much to try to preserve of our memories. It started out to be very stressful. Karsyn has had somewhat of a weak immune system and has since the day she was born. She has always gotten really high fevers 106 degrees after her shots and has had reoccurring croup from the age of 3 months. When I worked at the Fitness Center....I swear anything that walked through that door in the term of germs.... she caught it! Our poor little peanut. I have always been kind of a germ freak but having a child who gets sick easily has magnified my issues. The Friday before we left she went to her friend Elizabeth's house and when I picked her up, she had a runny nose and Jody said that she had been sneezing all day! I was really hoping that it was her allergies, which she has to lotions and shampoos, zythromax and we are thinking some foods(possibly)? She went to a Birthday party on Saturday and seemed fine and on Sunday she went to church and had a runny nose but by Sunday night she started to have a low grade fever. I am now starting to panic! On the cautious side I ran her to the doctor on Monday morning out of fear of her getting worse on our trip. The doctor told me that he thought it was just a cold and that she was already through the worst of it! WRONG.... on Tuesday night, the night before we left she spiked a fever of 103. So Benjy ran her to the doctor right before we boarded the plane and got an antibiotic. The doctor wouldn't have normally done this but thought it was a good idea because we were leaving out of state.
Karsyn was miserable on our flight to Florida. She slept or was lethargic the entire way there. By this time, even Benjy was starting to really worry. We gave her two doses of antibiotic the first day of our trip and decided to see how she was on Thursday morning, before we decided if we were going to take it easy at the hotel or hit one of the Disney Parks. After calling my Mom numerous times, friends, sister-in-laws and freaking out and asking Amanda (my friend and personal nurse) in tears, what we should do, we decided to say some prayers and hope for the best.
That little skunk woke up Thursday morning happy and talking up a storm! WE knew that our prayers were answered and right away Benjy said that as a family we needed kneel in prayer and thank our Father in Heaven, for helping Karsyn feel better. I can't tell you how much relief I felt wash over me...amazing how that works. We counted our blessings and we were off to Epcot! I can't wait to blog about Epcot!

Karsyn looked pretty good here, getting ready to board, however she crashed, very quickly into the flight!
Kaydree in the plane! She was very nervous that we were going to cancel the trip because Karsyn was sick, so when she got on the plane....she was very happy and relieved!

Bella has the same polka dot vest as Karsyn. Shopping the clearance rack at Kohls. I am so jealous of your trip. Looks like it was a great time with great weather.
