This is the day......

First I got to get this of my chest. Some one asked me where I got the quote about my age. I got it from my dad. He died one week short of his 73rd birthday.
Enough of that.
We have had one of those days. Michele got worse and we finished up at the hospital all day. Turned out to be gastric enteritis. She did get a little dehydrated, but they did say considering how long she had been unable to keep anything in, that she was in good condition and had weathered it well. They said she must eat healthy food coz they see kids with the same condition who live on "junk" food who don't do near as well and who finish up more ill than she was. I spent the day praying. Steph spent the day at the hospital with the 2 girls. However, prayers have been answered and she is fine.
One thing did show up though. We have a lot more work to do with her training. She refused to do half what they wanted her to do and was quite naughty. Including putting water in the potty when they asked her to pee. And then lied about it. She would do what Steph told her and the hospital soon woke up that you don't ask Michele "would you like to do this", you tell her she is going to do it. You see we don't ask her if she would like to, we tell her plain and simple and she does it most time without augment. We also use please and thank you. Yes, I know she was sick and all that, but if she is well enough to monkey around then she is well enough to follow a simple instruction no matter what.
