UPDATE...............

Well I think I have learned just about everything this past week about PPD tests, results, treatment, you name it!! It has been one emotional week for me as my mind has been a whirl wind as I find out more and more information. The best news of all though....Faith's chest x ray is normal....perfect....just fine!!! I knew this. I just knew it would be fine. But still there is that little part of you that worries...well what if? We went in Friday for the results and to talk things over with the Dr. and I was able to breath a sigh of relief.

So now it is on to treatment. I received numerous individual emails from parents that are going through the same exact thing or have already gone through this. It is so comforting to know that others are going through this. Makes it all a little less scary. So to those of you that emailed me and were willing to share your stories I thank you so much! We have decided to treat Faith with the antibiotic. Short version of our decision is that the Dr. feels pretty certain she tested positive due to having the vaccine , however there is no way at this time we can be 100% sure of this. Yes, there is a chance she was exposed to the virus and it is because of that chance that we feel it is best to treat her for it. Believe me we have gone back and forth on our decision especially with the treatment being 9 months of antibiotic's, but when we look at the overall big picture, 9 months of taking medication is so worth it to reassure that our precious girl stays healthy!

And now onto other things!!!!! This precious little girl of mine starts Kindergarten this week!!!!! Ohhhh, my aching heart!!! Please pray that I get through the week without being too much of an emotional wreck!:o We have been busy getting school supplies together and Faith picked out her new back pack for school. I was planning on ordering one from Lands End, but the excitement of picking one out at Target was just too much fun!! ( I thought I was going to break down and cry right there in Target as I watched her try them on! Daddy even got choked up!) She tried several on and she was very proud of the Hello Kitty one that she decided on. She even found a binder to match it perfectly! I will start posting now on Faith's blog so you can read all about Kindergarten there! (you can find the link to her blog on the right side) I will be going private eventually with her blog so if you would like an invite just let me know. It will take me awhile to send out invites with everything we have going on right now. My sister gets in tomorrow for a week visit and she will be bringing one of her foster girls. She and her husband are foster parents to currently 5 children ages 7, 6, 4, 4, and 2 months. She will be bringing her 4 year old little girl with her. Faith is really looking forward to this! An exciting week ahead for us.......................
