It's been a busy couple of months. Quincy was diagnosed with round 1 of Pneumonia at the end of October and that put a damper on her 2nd birthday. However, at least she recuperated enough to do Halloween in the 'hood at our old neighbor's (Andy, Jenny, and Tess) house. But......a couple of weeks after Halloween, she became sick, yet again. This time she was diagnosed with Chicken Pox (yes, she has had her Varicella vaccination). Three days after the initial diagnosis we took her back to the doctor's office as she was getting sicker and sicker, but oddly enough, her pox hadn't progressed passed the initial batch. Her fever kept going up to 103-ish and even though we were alternating Tylenol/Motrin it wasn't working. She became SUPER dehydrated so she was admitted to Scottish Rite Children's Hospital. She was put on an IV drip and we were told that she did NOT have the Chicken Pox but, rather, had RSV that turned into double pneumonia; the initial rash was just some viral-related rash at the onset of her illness and was completely unrelated to the Chicken Pox. Three days later, they discharged little Quincy from the hospital as good as new. All in all, in spite of the horrible circumstance in which we we there, Scottish Rite was a wonderful place to stay.....they take care of the whole family, not just the children. I did not have to leave Quincy's room for even one minute the whole time we were there. They truly take care of everything so the parent's don't have anything else to worry about (such as food or laundry) and can concentrate on their child's needs.Quincy's 2nd Birthday:
It took us awhile, but we finally found a doll that didn't have blonde hair and big, round, blue eyes. Quincy has named her "Cho-Cho" and carries her almost everywhere (see this year's Chirstmas card for verification....). 
Love at first sight.....
After breakfast, we took her to a local children's imagination playground and let the Birthday Girl paint and play with lots of fun stuff....
This year's cake: Hello Kitty, of course (and I made it!!!).
She actually blew out the candles on her own.....even with pneumonia, the girl's got a good set of lungs!
One more birthday gift to open....a GREAT felt puzzle from her BFF, Lucy!!!
