Decided to clean out the fridge today. That can be an adventure sometimes, huh? Besides the soggy, brown head of lettuce and eggs that expired 2 weeks ago, know what else I found? Cheese, actually cheeses, plural. I couldn't believe it. Here's what I have: Velveeta slices (those are close enough to cheese I suppose), Laughing Cow cheese, a block of parmesan cheese, provolone cheese, block of white cheddar cheese, shredded cheddar cheese and "green shake can" parmesan cheese. Oh yeah, don't forget the holiday cheese ball that's in there, too. Not sure how that happened, but there are some serious cheese issues up in here.
No normalcy around here today. Actually, to be honest, Colby had a perfectly shitty day. He woke up with lots and lots of gunk. But I figured it was just a rough morning and he'd be okay once he got up and off to school. Nope. Had an incident where his oxygen dropped at school, too. From what I hear, the new nurse handled it just fine. I went and picked him up from school and when I got there, he was sleeping! Never in 4 years has this kid fallen asleep at school. Guess he was just tuckered out from the trip to Cincy on Tuesday. He's fine now, been sleepy most of the afternoon/evening. I'm glad he doesn't have school tomorrow. He can sleep in and take it easy. This leads me to what I am thankful for today. I am thankful that God has given me both the physical and mental strength to take care of Colby. You need both if you're going to raise any kid really, but really one with special needs. Also takes common sense, lots of patience and the ability to multitask like you wouldn't believe. Also thankful I've been given those gifts.
There are several of Colby's SMA buddies either fighting illness at home or are in the hospital right now. We HATE to hear this and are sending get well wishes and hugs. Please keep these kiddos in your thoughts and prayers. Hoping they all get home soon and have a healthy winter.
Off to bed. Working at the hospital tomorrow and my "boss" has already told me I'm going to be busy. Better get rested and ready.
