So our Riley Bear has had quite a month!  

She started with a trip to the ER for a trapped hernia, which led to double hernia surgery and a cyst in her forehead being removed.  Three days after that she got a fever which led the doctors to try what seemed like every test possible!  Blood tests, urine tests (I stopped them before the chest X-ray).  Then the fever broke and we were doing better and our big sister decided to fool around with us :(  That led to the bump of all bumps!! The incision on her head ballooned up to the size of a golfball!! It was huge!! Well of course a big goose egg above your eye will eventually turn into a black eye :)  So I decided we needed to roll with it!  I tried to turn her into our little boxer and take some pictures :)  They didn't quite turn out how I was thinking as her eye is healing remarkably well and Daddy was gone while this happened so trying to take pictures with two cranky kids around wasn't the easiest :)  But she is our little fighter and wouldn't you know she now has a molar coming in.  Poor kid can't get a break!
