When is life around here not crazy? Or Chaotic?

Seriously? Quiet would be so nice but I figure that day will come so suck it up for now.

Colby is doing well. His stitches have never looked so good!

I thought he was getting a sinus infection yesterday because he was a bit junky which makes him throw up, which makes his dystonia kick in, which makes him mad, which makes the dystonia worse, which makes him madder….

Do you get the picture? He was not a happy boy yesterday.

Today is a completely different story.

Fever is unexplainable gone. The snot is still there but much less.

He only threw up for an hour.

He was laughing hysterically for a good portion of the day.

He still wanted to sit on my lap.

So today was a great day.

Except we kinda forgot to do Jahnna’s school. Oops.

And we might have gone birthday shopping for me instead of doing school.

And we might have gone out to each lunch just because.

Oh well. It’s a good thing she’s asking to do school on Saturday because she’s going to have to this week!

Oh and Riley, well she’s decided that she’s a princess again and no longer Tinkerbell so you may go back to calling her princess. She no longer answers to Tink.

Sigh. Drama is my life.

Back at home update #prayingforcolby #dystonia

August 28, 2010

ShareColby is very excited to be home. He is doing great, there isn’t a lot of swelling and he’s pretty happy. He’s a bit clingy but I can’t blame him for that. I’m just holding him a ton and snuggling my brave boy.  His grin was so huge when I told him we were leaving [...]

Tired

August 28, 2010

Share0savesSave I get tired at the hospital. It’s stressful, noisy and hard to sleep. I don’t really notice how tired I am until we get home. Then it sets in. I walked into a wall last night around 8 o’clock. Not really fun. Funny, but not really fun. I waited up to talk with Colby’s [...]

I had to pull out all my tricks but he finally did. Shortly after the neurosurgeon came in to see how he was doing. He said his incisions look [...]

Colby’s night in the PICU #prayingforcolby #dystonia

August 26, 2010

Share0savesSave Last night Colby did really well. I cannot tell you how surprised I am. Every other time we’ve been in the PICU he’s been up all night, tense and screaming. I think the morphine might have helped a little but his blood pressure was great, his heart rate was phenomenal and he was very [...]
