Karson started feeling bad the Tuesday before Christmas. Wednesday morning at 3:30am, Karson's temperature got up to 104.7 so we made a trip to Children's ER. The doctor felt she had Strep even though her rapid strep test came back negative. They gave her a shot of PCN and sent us home. Well - she got worse. By Christmas Eve, she was one sick girl. Her temperature would not go down and she started chilling really bad. So - we went back to the ER at 7pm Christmas Eve. They did the flu test and an RSV test - negative. They finally took blood and discovered she had mycoplasma, which is walking pneumonia. They gave her a dose of Erythromycin and then we continued it for 5 more days. We got home around 1am Christmas morning. She was feeling better by Christmas morning so she at least did get to enjoy her Santa gifts. All in all - it was a very interesting Christmas. Although - I kept telling myself, it could have been a whole lot worse so I am thankful for that. Oh - by the way, Karson did get her orange La La but somehow I never got a picture of it.
This is Karson in the emergency room at Children's. See how flushed her cheeks were. She felt just awful.
Christmas morning
She absolutely loves this easel
This baby is so neat. It is newborn size so Karson got some newborn clothes from Santa so she can change her baby's clothes

The finished product! You can see her through the window lounged back in her chair.
Hungry Hippo!!
Mom made Karson a playroom at her house. When Karson walked in, she got to see her new kitchen set and table and chairs.
