I have been sick for over a week. No voice, head about to explode, ear aches, cough that just won't quit, body aches, and even eye goobers...that's right! I finally got so sick of not sleeping that I went to the doctor. She said: "Join the crowd. The cold bug is so bad this year that it lasts for two to four weeks because the weather has not been cold enough to kill the jerms." GREAT...just what you want your doc to say. She gave me some gels to swallow to keep the cough instinct at bay and some Codine in cough syrup--which is my favorite to help me sleep.
Vance has been sick as well but not nearly as bad as mommy. He has stuffy nose, eye goobers
and a cough, but all are subsiding this week. Plus he is such a happy baby you would never know if he felt bad or not--I am not complaining.Speaking of Vance--which we always do it seems :) He was given a jumper seat that hangs from a doorway--we rigged it to the beam in the living room--and he LOVES it. He jumps and swings his legs all over the place.
He likes it so much that a few times he even fell asleep in it. So cute! Doesn't look that comfortable though does it. Gives new meaning to "sleep like a baby". And NO I don't leave him there I move him to a comfy bed.
Our dogs are good. Reese had knee surgery on Monday and I picked her up on Tuesday. She has been great. She is on three legs--something we are used to around here.--but seems to have no problem with it. You can see her shaved leg and scar on her knee. "And for only 1500 dollars she now has a new knee..." Seems like a bargan! YIKES. We hope it works out for her and she can return to playing like a maniac with her sister Nala. The vet said 2-3 weeks on leash to go to the bathroom, then short walks on leash, then about 6-8 weeks she will be able to return to play. She does stairs, furniture and still pulls her leash...so not much can slow her down.
Other news around here--Angie has to decide to return to teaching or stay at home within the month...stay tuned...she has not figured that out yet.
Vin is headed to Colorado--where they keep getting dumped on--next week for his ski trip with the boys. He is pumped to say the least. He is not happy with me right now though because the last two day he woke with the dreaded sore throat. You should see him pop every cold remedy he can find--prevention he says. Anyway--we hope he avoids it. He has been the glue holding this family together for the last week doing night feedings with Vance and taking care of Angie. He has been great and deserves this little ski trip--we hope he has fun.
Take care, stay well! We'll keep you posted on happenings!
