What a Week

Wow, what a week we have had. Brian, Amber and Les started school, we have had all 3kids to the doctor, medicine for 2 of them, Amber to the dentist, and some really weird diagnosis. Les finally seems to be doing better, although not completly there yet. Zak just had a minor rash that is almost better now. Amber has a funny lump in her cheek. We took her to the dentist becuase we thought it might be a tooth problem, but he said there was nothing he could do for it. He said that it was behind her jaw, probably her parotid gland. So off we went to the medical doctor. He confirmed that it was her parotid gland that was swollen, but that there is no reason to know why. He put her on an antibiotic in case it was caused by a bacteria, but said that if it was caused by a virus or a plug, that wouldn't help...I guess we just wait and see. It is pretty tender for her. I only hope this isn't a sign of what the school year is going to bring for us. I still don't have pictures of the kids heading to school for this school year.

Zak will start school on Wednesday, and is very excited. Hopefully we won't have anymore stragne illnesses that keep him out.
