Hi kathy: Baby Girl is still dealing with post-rheumatic fever fatigue in the extreme at times, and her legs hurt from it. Demon Baby's deal with the devil means he is in picture-perfect health again. Older son--healthy. Older daughter--completely fine. Me? Not so much. Too worn out, so Crohn's has reared its very ugly head, but I intend to either beat in into submission . . . or at least meditate and acupuncture it to some manageable level. :-)
What a cutie! I've always wanted to see the little darlin'. And seriously, he doesn't look capable of being a Demon Baby. Are you sure it's right kid? LOL. I just wanna squeeze him!
Let's see . . . today he emptied all the love bird's seed down the staircase. He fed the dogs 15 dog bones (instead of one each) . . . he climbed into the refrigerator and sat down in the celery, he bit his sister and pulled her hair, he SPIT on furniture--multiple times (for some reason, SPIT really fascinates him as an ART FORM) . . . I could go on, but I would literally fill pages with his daily antics. Yes, I have the right little Demon.
Let me get this straight. He's a little boy and he dumped birdseed down the stairs, overfed the dogs, climbed into the refrigerator, sat on the celery, bit his sister, pulled her hair, and spit.
Spy: Actually, I had a conversation with a friend of mine whose oldest is getting married, and whose fourth is 12 or 13 and was much like Demon Baby. He said that there's something quite special about the fearless ones that make them born leaders.
Or destined for juvenile hall.
So it's my job to make sure it's the former and not the latter. But yes, I think he will be a rock star or something equally cool and somewhat wild.
As for the pains . . . honest to God, rheumatic fever is so rare today, not ONE doctor seeing her has ever treated it . . . (i.e., it was common in the 1920s-40s, but not today . . . and all THOSE doctors are no longer in practice). They "think" about two months for the pain, maybe longer for the fatigue. They've called in consults from medical colleges . . . and that't the best guess, so we're going with it.
He's gorgeous.... I can see the mischief in his eyes.... I had a boy just the same..... and it doesn't get any better (ooops, should I not tell you that!!!)

But he does look angelic.

Travis:
Beware the Demon Baby.
That's how he lures you in.

Happy Holidays, you Second-Rate Santa.

Precious!
Although, after hearing your Demon Baby tales, the word is spoken in Lord of the Rings' Gollum's voice. "Precccioussss" ;-)
Is everyone on the mend? (No more sick ward for Erica, I hope!)

Well, if you squint, and look sideways, the shadows over his right eye DO form a dark ghostly figure...
Kidding. He's adorable.

It's always the cute ones you gotta watch out for...hehehe
Hugs to you all. Get well soon!
I adore Demon Baby. He must have some magical power, LOL, a special charisma. He's gonna grow up to be a rock star! ;-) How old is he, again?
How long will the post-rheumatic fever pains last? We all are rooting for your family to be well, including you!

Travis, Jude, and I have been reincarnated!
Amie:
LOL! Yup, gotta watch 'em.

Oh yeah, he's a whole lotta trouble all rolled into one, tiny, underweight, 25-pound little guy.

Aw. What a cutie. Hard to believe he could be such a little devil.
I hope Bbby Girl gets better soon.
He's gorgeous.... I can see the mischief in his eyes.... I had a boy just the same..... and it doesn't get any better (ooops, should I not tell you that!!!)
sara:
I know. I have great fears that it will nto get one iota better. He's going to gather some evil minions and take over the world.
