Crazy Week

This past week has been very busy in the Yosten household. We recently discovered that our little girl, Paige, is allergic to our little maltese dog, Abby. We have had Abby for almost nine years and have decided that it was time we found a new home for her. You may even recognize her from this picture. Abby has been a MODA HOME MODEL for the Pampered Pooch collection. Abby has been a great dog, very loving, and playful. But when it comes to our kids health, then we must do what's best.

Unfotunately, Paige is also a severe asthmatic so anytime she gets sick or her allergies strike up, her asthma always interferes. Tuesday, we had to start her on her steroid to help with controlling her asthma so we don't end up in the hospital. I feel so bad for her that she has to go through this at such a young age. She has been on medication for her asthma since she was 11 months old. We do daily treatments with her morning and night and by now she is a pro. She takes her medicine like a big girl. They always say that you'll grow out of it as you get older, however my husband and I both have asthma and we still take medication at times.

Matthew, our youngest, has also been sick with a small cold. We have been trying to keep him from drinking out of Paige's cup so they don't pass anything back and forth. Poor thing he can't breathe through his nose. He is just so darn cute... nothing can keep this little boy down. Even when he doesn't feel his best, he is still knows how to make us smile. Don't let him fool you though... he does have his moments if he doesn't get what he wants.

So with keeping Paige and Matthew well and keeping up with my work, the house... let's just say it is being a bit neglected. I just hope nobody decides to just pop on over. :) Hopefully, things will be back to normal soon.
