I'm Lovin' It!

It makes me so happy when I have a good photo shoot with my children. I LOVE IT!

Year in Review

The Mikesell's 2011 Medical Year
(And it's only the beginning of March...)

Jan 5th (ish): Ryan had an MRI and x-rays on his back.
Ryan's deductible met.

Jan 19th: Celeste slammed her finger in a heavy door. Her whole finger was swollen and black and blue. Thought it might be broken so we had x-rays on it. Turns out it wasn't broken.
Celeste's deductible met, which means the family deductible is met.

MID-JANUARY AND OUR FAMILY DEDUCTIBLE IS MET! (how sad)

March 4th (Friday): Caleb has a horrible "junky" cough and fever so I took him to the doctor. I normally don't take my kids in but I was worried this time. Caleb got to have a chest x-ray. Results were bronchiolitis pretty bad and pneumonia starting in his left lung. The poor guy is on two antibiotics and nebulizer breathing treatments. Thankfully I listened to my gut feeling and took him in. I'm afraid he would have been one sick little guy by Monday.

A year for x-rays? I guess I'm the last one. Hopefully I won't need one! But since our family deductible has already been met, we're just working on meeting the out of pocket! With all this said, I really am grateful for my families health. We are truly blessed with great health most of the time. I am also thankful for modern medicine. It's amazing.

Hope everyone is staying healthy this winter!
