Getting Better All The Time..

I am truly grateful to the individual who decided that medical instruments for kids should be fun. His or her ingenuity has made for some easy Pulmicort sessions! Jack enjoys "being a T-Rex" so much that he can take his medicine all by himself with no assistance from Mommy or Daddy. (And yes, the mask is a fish, but does look like a dinosaur if you use your imagination just right!) We are getting better. I'd say that Jack is almost 100% again and Mommy is not too far behind. We actually attempted a photo session at Mimi and Poppa's farm on Saturday just because we were getting extremely stir crazy and really needed to get out of the house. Jack did fine, but it put me back in the bed coughing my head off all day yesterday. Great.

Today is good, though. I am getting my voice back and have actually done a load laundry - the first in several days. We appreciate all the emails, calls, well-wishes and prayers! We hope to be back among the living very soon.









Oh. And I should add, just for fun, some of the funny things I have heard around here lately. When you are cooped up in a house together for two weeks, it's amazing what you will hear!

• "Mommy, you need to cover your mouth when you cough!"
• "Look, Mommy! The WonderPets are wearing Lederhosen!"
• "Mommy, you need to get a patient." (Heard while waiting for him to go potty - apparently I was rushing him.)
• "Mommy, let me see your ear." (then, whispering) "I love you!"
  
• (Upon leaving his toys) "Goodbye! Adios! Alvedersain!"
• Hey, Mommy - can we make pie? Samurai Pie?" (Thank you, Backyardigans.)
• "The phone. The phone is ringing. The phone. We'll be right there!" (I hear this nearly every time the phone rings, courtesy of the WonderPets!)
