Since my last post, Emily had a visit to the ER because of stomach pain. She also had her first ambulance ride to a children's hospital to rule out appendicitus. Thank the Lord it wasn't that! She was, to quote the ER doc, "Full of stool." So one milk and molasses enema later, Emily was fairly well cleaned out. She still had a viral pneumonia though and tonsils that looked like raw hamburger. The test results were negative for mono. (YAY!)
We went to the ENT to check her hearing and have her tonsils looked at. He scheduled her for the first available T&A surgery which she had last Monday. He also scoped her airway and found damage from GERD.
She is recovering very well. Her brother and sister are in VA this week, so she has been able to stay quiet and have Mommy all to herself. It has been great, but I don't think I ever want to see another Baby Einstein or Fraggle Rock video ever again! LOL!

Mom's Pound Cake Recipe
1 cup butter, softened
3 cups granulated sugar
6 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2-1tsp almond extract
Cream butter and sugar, add eggs individually. Combine flour, soda, and salt. Add dry ingredients and sour cream, alternating wet and dry. Add extracts.
Bake at 350 in greased and floured 10" tube pan for 70-80 minutes.
PS. Mom also sometimes makes streusel with cinnamon and finely chopped pecans to sprinkle in a light layer. Just add about half of the mixture, then the streusel, then the remaining mixture. HEAVENLY for breakfast when it is toasted with a bit of butter.
