Good morning, alert readers! GOOD NEWS on the Bowler Family front! Our wonderful son-in-love Chris was called to the Bishopric of the Three Fountains Ward last Sunday! It seems that his responsibilities will include working with the youth. GREAT choice! Denny ordained him as a High Priest, and the Bishop set him apart as Counselor. He will be wonderful!!! He's a little nervous, of course. Who wouldn't be? We are so happy for him! ;-]
On a completely different note, poor Ali! Last Friday evening, she was all set to go to a party where her blogger friends were going to meet face-to-face! She loves these girls, and was sooo anxious to have a fun night out and finally meet them someplace other than the blogosphere! She dressed in a spiffy outfit, fixed her hair really cute, even SHAVED HER LEGS! Yep, she was ready for a great night out! Well, Friday morning, Rory had had her doctor's appointment and the nurse gave her FOUR shots, and one oral medication. Poor baby! Last time she had her shots, Rory wasn't affected at all . . . and we all assumed she'd be fine this time too. Friday is OUR day with Rory, and when she arrived a couple of hours after her appointment, she seemed okay- just a little lethargic. But as the day wore on, she drooped more and more, and fussed almost constantly. We gave a her a good bath (she likes that) and cuddled her as best we could. But even her Papa couldn't coax much a grin out of her- very unusual. By evening, Rory was in distress. Her little body was hot with fever. Her cries became shrieks! We had never heard anything like that before! And we could tell that these were shrieks of PAIN! Papa and I both did everything we could think of to make her feel better- to no avail. When she finally THREW UP all over me (not spit up, mind you, THROW UP!), we knew it was time to call her Mama. Ali, all dressed and ready for the long-awaited party, came right over. She knew the minute she walked in the door that she wouldn't be going to the party. Rory had finally fallen asleep on Papa's chest, but she was wheezing, and still hot to the touch. When she woke up just a few minutes later and heard her Mama's voice, she absolutely relaxed and gave her a little smile. Ali took her home, snuggled her up next to her and hummed and sang to her until she went to sleep. She had a little bit of a rough night, but was fine the next day. That baby really needed her Mama! Ali was very disappointed to miss the party (yes, there were tears), but Rory is so much more important to her that she soon forgot all about that, and just loved on her baby girl.
Papa and GG surely wish we could have helped our sweet baby Rory . . . but this was one time she needed Mama, and only Mama! We hope Ali will have another chance to meet these fun blogger friends. Next time -NO DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT!
Oh, how we love our girls: Krissy, Ali and Rory!!!!!! And the boys aren't so bad either!!!!! ;-]
