Not much time in the sewing room this week as I had to pop into work a couple of mornings and then prep for company that arrived on Wednesday! Just in time for my Mom to celebrate her birthday with us on Thursday! It turns out we were very lucky they arrived Wednesday as the kids were fine when we put them to bed at 8PM but Aidan woke up around 10 and was unable to breathe. Usually he calms down and is better after a bit but he could not talk either so a quick trip to the Quick Care and a shot of steroid and a nebulizer treatment (first for us!) he was much better and able to breathe. Diagnosis was Croup - which he has had before many times as a toddler but he is 7! Hope he grows out of this eventually. Mom and Dad stayed home with Emily sleeping and we got home around 12:30 to a quiet house. Now he just has a cough, runny nose and cold symptoms but with some cough medicine he is off to Grandma's today. My parents are heading to my aunts for the weekend and I hope to plant a garden today and see if I can get something to grow down here! Wish me luck.
Head on over to SoScrappy on Saturday and see some great yellow projects.

Sick kids are the worst! Glad he's on the mend. On the upside, your yellow block looks very happy!
Love your yellow block! Sorry Aiden has croup... harder at 7 I think than at 2! lol Will keep him in my thoughts for a quick recovery. Happy Birthday to your mom too! Kathi
I'm sorry for the sick kiddo! I hope recovery from is swift.
Yellows are so encouraging . . .
Loving that yellow block! I am sorry to hear about Aidan; my granddaughter Fiona has been having the same problems--but they think hers may be asthma --hoping not. It is so hard to see them straining for breath! Hope he feels better soon...good luck with your garden...hugs, Julierose
Love the yellow block - looks very much like spring! Hope Mr. Aidan is doing fine. I hate seeing sick kids. ~Jeanne
Aidan sure gave you a scare. Than heavens your mom and dad were over and able to stay with Emily. Great Castles in the Air block. Lovely tonal variation.
So sorry to hear about your son's health issue. Glad he's better now and on the mend. Your yellow block looks great.
Poor Aidan. Croup can be pretty scary, but it sounds like the nebulizer did the trick. So lucky that you had help there and did not have to take everyone along for a late night trip. Sure hope he feels better soon.
Happy Birthday VTQuilter's Mum! Glad you wee one came through okay. Must have been scary. Your block is all sunshine, lollipops, rainbows, everything . . .
Love your Air Castles block! Anyone being sick is not a good thing ... but especially so when it's one of the kiddos. Hope Aidan is feeling better *soon*. Thank goodness Grandma was there to stay home with Emily. Love your new header.
You got off to a good start with the yellow Air Castles block. Very pretty.
Sick kids,especially ones that can't breath are scary. Glad he is doing much better.
Your Air Castles block looks lovely! Sorry to hear about the croup - remember those days with my oldest. Glad Aidan seems to be on the mend!
Wow, what a scary episode. Glad things are looking up now!
Oh my. Difficulty breathing and unable to talk is scary. I hope he in getting well.
