Our wonderful Sami!


Sami was very excited to start kindergarten and to get her shots! Well as luck would have it 2 days after she got her shots her arm swelled up and was red. Serge took her to the doctor and we found out that she got a staph infection from her shots. They gave her a big shot in her hip (she couldn't walk for 2 hours after) and within 2 days her arm was showing improvement. A week later she was outside while we were working in the yard and she got bit by something, were not sure what. The next morning at swim lessons we realized her lower arm was swollen to the size of a large egg. To make the story short, we made several trips to the doctor and one to the ER. Her arm had swelled from her shoulder to her hand about 3x its regular size. The doctors diagnosed her with cellulites and put an IV in her arm and for 4 days we gave her doses of medication thourgh the IV. Within a week her arm was almost back to normal. This gave us a real big scare, its never good when your kids are sick or having medical problems. She was very brave considering the situation. Samantha is such a special girl and we are so grateful that she had a speedy recovery.

May Madness!!!


The month of May was full for the Lee family. Jeff finished his soccer season and 8th grade, Amanda finsihed dance and 7th grade, Rachael finished dance and 4th grade, Sami graduated from preschool and tumbling and Brooklyn turned 1 and found her temper! Amanda also turned 13 years old. WOW!! My kids are growing up fast. I can remember when I was younger I couldn't wait for my kids to get older and be able to do all these things, and now I'm trying to slow down time so I can enjoy every moment I have with them. They are all great kids and I love them all very much.
