Hey Family and Friends!
Time sure has been flying by fast these days. As always busy busy busy here at our house and never a dull moment. So many appointments here lately that sometimes don't know if I'm coming or going. I've been really sick lately too, which doesn't help. A couple of weeks ago I was in the ER with a migraine. Man it was a doozy. I could hardly see, couldn't stand any kind of light or sound and my whole world wouldn't stop spinning. After sitting and waiting in a busy waiting room they finally called me back. Since I hadn't been able to keep anything down, by this time my sugar level started dropping, which was making me feel worse. They gave me something for the pain and nausea and did some lab work to make sure all was ok and scheduled me for a CT Scan later that day. I went home and slept for several hours before going to have it done. The poor boys had to miss their Kids Club at the Rehab Center that night. All is ok, nothing major, just my migraines acting up again. I also had a severe sinus infection. I'm back on my medication that I was on in KY to help curve my migraines. Now I just have to give it 6wks to get into my system before it will start working. In the meantime I have something else I can take if it gets too bad, or make another trip back to ER.
Hard to believe Davidson turned 4 years old this past Monday. He's a cutie and getting so tall. He's now 3'4" and weighs 34lbs. He had his well visit today and pour little guy had to get a couple of shots in his leg and one in each arm. His cholestrol is a little up, but not enough for the doctor to panic over yet. He has some weak tummy and leg muscles, which I have some things I'm working on him here at home to help him with that along with the therapy he's getting from PT in school. His speech is coming right along, still have troubles understanding him sometimes, but he's talking more than he use to. He's my little monkey and so funny. We are waiting for his glasses to come in. He's starting to have trouble with his left eye crossing and also starting to complain about it hurting. He looked so cute when he tried them on.
Harley will be 5 years old on Dec. 11th and getting so tall. He's not much taller than Davidson is. We are waiting on a call from an Institute to go in for a 2-4hr testing/evaluation. They put him on the short list, but there is an 8-12wk waiting period. This will help give us an actual diagnosis on what is going on with him instead of just guessing. Today was a really good day for him. While we was at the Rehab Center, he asked to get into my lap and asked me to hold him. These days it rarely happens and the hugs and kisses are getting fewer and fewer in between. While he was sitting in my lap he was laughing and smiling and asked me to hug him tighter and never let go. A few tears came to my eyes. Today seemed like I had my little boy back that enjoyed being held, hugged and loved on. Tonight when I put him to bed he came back out to the livingroom and asked if I would sit with him and sing him another song. He got into my lap and put his arms around me and gave me a great big hug. After I was finished I told him to lay back down and go to sleep and within minutes he was sound asleep with a smile on his face. Breaks my heart when he has bad days and doesn't know how to express himself other than through throwing things or acting wild. Hopefully we will get the call soon and we can start having more days like we did today.
I don't ask for much. All I ask for is honesty, respect, friendship and love. And all I want for my boys is for them to be able to catch up on their developmental delays, blossom into bright fun loving little boys, and for them to be able to have as normal of a life as they possibly can. I'm not perfect, and never have claimed to be, so I don't expect my boys or anyone else to be perfect either. Just be perfect enough for ourselves. As long as I know I'm doing the best that I can, then that's all that matters.
Well, it's another busy day tomorrow so I better get some rest. Friday is cleaning day, plus my niece and nephew is coming to stay the night with us. I can't wait either. I have planned a movie night for all of us and we might camp out in the livingroom that night, haven't decided on that part yet. Saturday I'm having a birthday party for the boys, then that night my brohter and sister-in-law is suppose to take us to the zoo so we all can see the Christmas lights they have there. I hope everyone has a blessed holiday season. Have a safe one and don't forget to be thankful for the little blessings that have already happened in your life or the ones that are yet to come.
