Phew, the last half of June was a very busy month for us. Sophie was in and out of Children's Hospital. It took a couple of ER visits before the doctors were able to accurately diagnose her with Henoch-Schonlein Purpura (HSP). She ended up spending a couple of nights at the hospital. Her chief complaints were abdominal pain, arthritic pain in her knee and a reddish rash on her legs. Poor kid was a good patient. She has to have follow-up labs and blood pressure checks until the end of the year. I hope there are no long term side-effects.
We went to Brainerd for a night with the kids and had fun swimming in the lake, mini-golfing and enjoying ice cream in the heat. Then we went to Bemidji for the 4th of July with the McMillans and had a great time. The weather for most of July has been HOT and HUMID. Sophie turned 3 last week and had so much fun at her birthday party. I can't believe she's 3 years old already. She's recently started potty training and we're very proud of her :)
