Stinky little girl

Can I ask a question? Well, actually, that was a question asked, so I need to ask another, or two or three. Duh!

I don't know if anyone knows what's going on, but Kenzie has stinky underarms. I mean, adult level smelly armpits. I hate writing this - but it's so noticeable and strong. I would have expected something like this if she was in her tweens, just prior to puberty. But she's only 6 year old.

She eats very healthy, so it can't be due to junk food.

What gives? Is this normal for a child of this age?

Good News

We got a call today from Riley Hospital - they wanted to pass along the good news.

Jia is as healthy a child as they come. All her tests came back normal. Normal... that is an outstanding word when it comes to a child's health.

This is the best Christmas present one can have. That, and a hug and kiss from your kids who thank you (for whatever...) and then tell you they love you.

That - and to just have Jia talk to me in a soft voice when she has her mouth up next to my ear. (AAAUUUUUGGGGHHHH! That hurt!) Of course, she said "I'm sorry, mommy." Sweatheart. Can't be mad about it.

Got some pics of the kids at a Children's Museum - that was a great day! They had a blast. We'll be spending a lot more time there.

Friday the 13th is always good luck

So many people have fun with Friday the 13th, touting the bad luck stuff... but it has always been good for me.

My mother was moved this morning from her room in SICU to a step down room, where she is doing really well from her surgery. Progress is slow, but she is healing and is able now to have visitors - even Kenzie can go in to see her.

Thanks to everyone who prayed for her... she had a lot of people praying who cared. I wanted her to get through this for her granddaughter. Kenzie loves her Memaw and it would have been a blow to not have her Memaw around anymore.

We'll go see her this weekend and spend Saturday and Sunday with her.
