Homemade Halloween Decorations

I know you are saying oh brother you are going clear back to the month of October. Sorry the last time I blogged was in September!

I found this great silk vintage umbrella at D.I. I had so much fun making this adorable Halloween decoration!

I made this mummy the second year I was married. I made up my own pattern and started to create my mummy!

I made this swag out of Chinese take out boxes and cup cake liners!!!

Charlie’s trip to Primary Children’s hospital!

Charlie was recently diagnosed with JIA or Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.

My Mom noticed that Charlie was starting to limp and favor his left leg. A month or more went by and then while I was giving him a bath I noticed that his right knee joint was more than double the size of his left. He also could not completely extend his leg.

I took him to Dr. Wynn, Charlie’s Pediatrician and he diagnosed him with JIA. The doctor told us to get a hold of Primary Children’s Hospital and see a specialist.

After seeing the specialist we were told Charlie needed a cortisone injection in his knee joint to see if this would help the swelling go away. If left unattended the leg with the swollen joint stops growing while the other leg does not. It is also very painful.

Here we are at the hospital

We had to leave at 6 in the morning to get to the hospital for his injection at 8. He could not eat or drink due to needing anesthesia for the procedure.

In order to make sure they get the injection in the joint they require that children receive anesthesia.
