Outside Temp: 61 F (It was beautiful today, little threats of thunderstorms, but no actual rain )

What I cooked today:
Papa Murphy's Pizza: I picked up pizza in town today, so we had pizza.  It was great, easy, and it was eaten all up (which kind of sucks because it means no leftovers!)

Update:
We got Ryan's line repaired today.  Woo Hoo!

We got up early (okay, so it was about 9am, which is early for us), and heading into town.  They were waiting for us in Radiology, so we went right in.  The interventional radiologist came in, with a nurse, and they got started.  It was the same IR doctor who repaired it last time, so we had a great laugh at the concept of seeing each other every 6-9 months. 

He got the line all repaired up nicely, and we were out the door in about an hour and half!  From there, I went through and did my shopping (which is good, since we were out of milk and cheese... gasp!)

We stopped at the drug store and then picked up a pizza for dinner (and a Blizzard, since, well, Blizzards are cool!).

We were home by 2:30, with all our shopping done, his line repaired, his meds picked up and dinner already ready for tonight.  Wow, what a productive day!

I got home to a little surprise... Connor had been bitten by something (either a spider or a mosquito, we're not sure).  Connor is very allergic to whatever bit him.  He was bit about 2-3 weeks ago on his arm, and it swelled up like crazy.  Well, this time, it swelled up as well.  Unfortunately, it bit him on his eyelid, right below his eyebrow.  So, his entire eyelid is swelled up to about the size of a golf ball!

He was very self-conscious about how he looks, so he wouldn't let me post a picture.  Needless to say, it's kind of scary.

We've been dosing him with Benedryl and his doctor suggested we add Zyrtec and a cold-pack for tonight.  If it's still swollen, we'll probably bring him into town, to have his doctor look at him.  But, since he can still see fine (although he can't actually open his eye, without using his fingers to pry it open), they aren't too concerned.  The worst part is that it itches.

Just because she was jealous that her brother was getting all the attention, Katie also managed to get a bite on her face, right below her eye.  It's not swelled up (she's not allergic to bites like he is), but it's red and itchy.  That's what she gets for trying to compete with Connor!
