TGIF - TGICW - TGITFCW

Thank goodness it's Friday. Thank goodness it's camp weekend. Thank goodness it's time for cooler weather. That sums up my thoughts for the moment!

Wednesday was a busy day. Sent Colby to school then I went to work. I had the nurse call me every 2 hours for a Colby update. Couldn’t help it, I was worried to death about him. He had a decent day, not a great day. At least I didn't have to leave work and go pick him up from school this time. Later that night, did our routine trach change and gave Colby a bath. They had to do an emergency trach change up at Cincy on a Wednesday, thus TCM is now TCW (trach change Wednesday for those of you who don't speak Amy.)

Yesterday I ran some errands while Colby was at school. I'm pleased to report Colby had a great day. Yes, finally. Maybe it's just taking him a while to get back in the school groove. I've been asking him every night, Colby, you ready for school tomorrow? Every night his answer is NO. Not sure what that's about. I think he's going through a streak of laziness. TDB, kid, you're going to school if at all possible, end of story (too damn bad, more Amy speak.) Put gas in the van, took $96 to fill up that terd. Had to go get snacks for our road trip to Scottsville, Kentucky this weekend. It's SMA weekend at The Center for Courageous Kids, and I'm very excited we're going back again. My BFF "Aunt Kimmie" is going with us again, too. This is the camp where Colby got to go horseback riding. I'm just thrilled to take him somewhere in the van besides Cincinnati Children's. And I hear the weather is going to be better, i.e. cooler this weekend, correct? Hallelujah, thank goodness, somebody is watching out for us. I don't think we would have even been able to go if the weather was going to be as shitty as it has been this week. Got Kim and I pretzel sticks, pretzel crisps, Nutter Butter Bites, Laugh Taffy, and chocolate/caramel squares for the ride down there. It's a 2.5 hour drive, but hey, you gotta have snacks or it's not a road trip, right?

Okay, better get going. Colby's nurse just walked in. She's going to get him up for the day while I finish packing up the Terdmobile. Keep your fingers crossed Colby does well this weekend. For some reason I've been really worried about him lately. (Gee, I can't imagine why!!) It'll all be fine, right? I mean, you know, everything will work out just right, isn't that correct? There's no need to worry that he'll plug, or bleed, or bleed that causes a plug. It'll all work out just fine. Just super-duper fantastic. We'll all have a great time. I think that will be my mantra for today, it'll be fine, it'll be what it'll be. It'll be fine, it'll be what it'll be. It'll be fine, it'll be what it'll be…repeat with me…
