amelia is slowly coming back to life after a stint with vaccines, a cold turned ear infection, a discovery that she is *allergic* to penicillin (amoxicillan). last night she slept for 12 hours! this morning her eyes are bright again & she is roaming the house looking for things to discover. yes, she did that the past 10 days but this time she's in her discovery mode without the whining cry that means "pick me up NOW". since i have started to type, she has climbed up & down our wooden indoor kid slide 4 or 5 times, smiling back at me before she goes down the slide (she has now learned to turn around & go down feet first on her belly! not head first--she still does this but i think it's for adventure's sake)
so now adeline has caught this nastiness we have in this home & also has an ear infection with a fever. another double trip to the pediatrician later & we are filled to the gills with antibiotics! i nearly have my voice back but it's shaky & unpredictable. i tried to quack like a duck for amelia last night while reading a book & wes was like *don't ever try to make that noise again* b/c it sounded like it came from the belly of the devil? hhmm, i don't know. men.
***
what else besides illness is going on? well, our rv neighbors are still here. sadly, they will be leaving tomorrow or friday morning. it's so strange--we haven't really talked with them a whole lot since we moved but we have just picked up like we've been neighbors the whole time. but only better b/c we've been around each other a lot & we still like each other! lol.
i am beyond ready for us all to feel better. so we can go do things (like shop for adeline's school list. & new school shoes. this girl grows out of shoes faster than i can say velcro...i'm thinking converse? i'm giving up on the expensive shoes b/c she's had a blister nearly all summer. before you think it, nope, wearing socks & a band aid DO NOT help. she will just get a blister somewhere else on the same foot...*sigh*). so off to target we go soon (oh in the next 2 weeks?). hopefully. if no one else gets sick.

here's a trivia question: how long does it take an insurance company to issue a family their new insurance cards?
answer: for sure over 3 weeks.
if i could talk & have that very stern, but sweet phone voice i would be calling up blue cross blue shield & giving them hell about this. i mean, we've gone to 4 doc appointments, filled 5 prescriptions & every time we get the 'get your new insurance card' lecture. i want to make someone pay for this. like the insurance company--PAY FOR OUR ILLNESSES...like your job description states! oh, while on this topic, the same stupid insurance folks sent me a letter, personally signed mind you, explaining that with my diagnosis it may be wise to go with what they called a 'insurance healthcare case worker' who would help me figure it all out. whaatt? i thought that was funny. maybe they don't understand that a baby plus brain tumor plus brain surgery = not on ongoing condition? at least i hope they don't have the inside scoop to know that an acoustic neuroma is an ongoing condition? anyway, i found it humorous. you know--it's like i'm elderly & they see the need b/c of my $160K (yes, we're up to that now) in insurance care claims to send someone to help me. what am i missing?

that was a note from amelia, who is ready for her mom to stop typing & play with her already.
