Dear 2011: This is not the way to make a good first impression.

I wrote that last post a few days ago, but it took me awhile to get around to adding pictures.
I decided to go ahead and post it, even though the part about Little One's fevers is already outdated now.
Last night She spiked a nice 104.3.  We spent another day seeing specialists and getting blood drawn.
Here we go again.
It's a bit eerie to me that a doctor can predict to within a week's time that my kid will get sick.  Like a medical Nostradamus; Ooooh, look into my crystal ball, your child will be fussy and shake with chills sometime around the rising of the new moon, and your lucky lotto numbers are 5, 7, 8, and 12!
But it does support the going theory about the cause of all this and I suppose that's a good thing. At least maybe we'll get things sorted out sooner than later.  Unfortunately, I'm not a huge fan of living with the going theory, but other things could certainly be far, far worse. So even though it's a bit of an extra challenge for me at the moment, when my Little One is lying in bed whimpering, I am counting my blessings today also.
For instance.  I'm very sorry that 2011 has decided to continue with the fevers of 2010.  But, on the other hand, there is plenty of 2010 chocolate lying around the kitchen.  I think I'll go count blessings in there, one Hershey Kiss at a time.
