First Sentence?

Hi Daddy. Kiyah said that to Karlis when I took her into the bedroom this morning. First time she has put words together. I think it was total luck but who knows. It was priceless to hear.

Kiyah is ONE
















I had planned on a few different small parties with family and friends but instead we ended up in the emergency room in Alabama. I had gone home for the weekend because Karlis was out of town and Kiyah got a high temperature of almost 104. I could not get it to break and the pharmacist said we need to go. So we went. They couldn’t really figure out what was wrong so they treated her for an ear infection which I wasn’t too happy about since they said her ears were just slightly red. It turns out her fever would not break because I was giving her WAY too small of dose. She weighed 24 pounds so I needed to give her double what I was. There was a problem though since all fever reducers had been pulled off the shelf. So we finally found some generic and went home and the next day she did seem a little better. I ended up taking her to her own pediatrician a couple of days later (on her actually birthday) because I did not like the fact she may have been on antibiotics for nothing. So we went and her ears were actually clear but she did have a throat infection. I had noticed she was crying when she swallowed so that explained things finally. So her first birthday was a bust. It hurt to swallow so eating cake was no fun. It will be easy to remember though what we did.
