Well, except for some minor runny noses...we are all better here! About time! I was sick of everyone being sick!
Not a whole lot going on here...
My grandpa has been having some serious back trouble here lately...and it receiving cortizone injections to completely numb the area. So far he has had two shots..and is supposed to get a third in the near future. If you think of him, please say a little prayer! Thanks....

Sick, sick, sick!
We are all sick here! It's horrible!
Sunday, I came down with the stomach flu--and ended up in the ER getting IV fluids that night...had to have 2 bags of them. I was so dehydrated that I was having chest pains--my heart rate was between 130-140. I felt awful. So, after 4 hours in the ER, I came home...feeling somewhat better. Monday, DH stayed home from work to watch Lucy--to minimize her exposure to all this...
Tuesday, DH came home from work with it! ARGH! I was hoping that this wouldn't happen. But, it did. So he is home today. But, other than being sore, he seems to be on the mend.
At midnight last night, Lucy woke up coughing. She has the croup again! I had to drive to Wal-Mart to get a new filter for the humidifier...and once she coughed up all the gunk in her throat, she quickly fell back asleep.
So, we are all laying around today--I'm the most motivated of the group--I am the only one not in my pajamas! LOL

Waiting...always waiting!
I ordered a package of sewing supplies online on January 17th. I only ordered 4 items and 2 of them were the same thing. Well, a week went by and I started calling the place...their customer service is only from 7am to 12pm, Monday-Thursday. Of course, I called on a Friday...so I leave a message.
They called me on the 27th to let me know that they FINALLY mailed my package. They had to wait on an order of their own to come in before they could mail mine. Now, why wouldn't they have called me to let me know that--heck, send me an email...anything! How frustrating.
Oh, and the package isn't here yet. Hopefully it will be tomorrow!!! I will never order from that company again! It's about 4 hours north of here...I could have went up and shopped in person for the time that it's taken to order it off the internet!

Crazy!
Yesterday, we had Lucy's transitional meeting with the therapy people...the meeting that decides what will happen after she turns 3 and no longer receives therapy...
She will most likely start Pre-K in the fall and need no further therapy. She will receive some informal checks from time to time to make sure that she doesn't fall through the cracks...
But, while in this meeting, I was offered TWO jobs! TWO! One is to be a parent liason with the therapy people, the other a teacher's aide in the Pre-K that Lucy will be at! *Yikes!* How crazy is that? Offered two jobs when not even looking! I am really drawn to the parent liason position...it is a day and a half a week...which would be rather easy...I just need to find someone that I trust (and can afford) to watch Lucy for that time.
If you read this, please pray that I find the sitter that I need and that doors continue to open for me to start this job. I feel like the Lord's hand was in this because Lucy's SSI runs out soon and although all our bills will be covered, we will still be a little short of meeting our other needs. This job starting and losing the SSI are happening at the same time...I see the Lord working here. If this is what He is providing, pray that I receive clarity in watching Lucy.
Thanks everyone! I'll let you know what unfolds!

Lucy's appointment at Cardinal Glennon....
We went to Cardinal Glennon yesterday to meet with the feeding team...and guess what??? She has gained 1/2 lb since OCTOBER--and they were happy with that! They are releasing her from the feeding team...with instructions to work on her biting and chewing (weak frontal bite) with the therapist. We are done with monthly trips to see the feeding team!
Blessings all around!
Blessings all around!
