Wow - I know it has been a long time since I have last posted! We have had our hands full here! Parker has been sick for almost 3 weeks! He had some weird virus and had a fever for 6 days - then the whole thing has turned into a sinus infection. PLUS the poor guy has four molars coming in and possibly his canine teeth (is that the technical name?). At any rate - I have been sitting around here watching my hair turn grey worrying about this boy! Seriously - 6 grey hairs now....
We are about 12 days away from his next echo and I have to say that our whole future seems to be hanging in the balance of this decision! I am just praying that it is not time for surgery. I do not feel up to it. I don't know how to do it. I don't know how to get in the car and drive him to the hospital and hand him back over. My instinct is to run away with him so that no one can hurt him. I guess Mother's Intuition is flawed after all...I am really praying that whatever the echo shows, the decision to have surgery or postpone it will be very obvious and not something Jon and I have to come home and decide on our own.
On a lighter note, I am loving my job! It is FANTASTIC to be working around so many dramatic people again! I have met some wonderful girls and am just having a blast! I have not enjoyed going to work this much in a LONG time and it is such a blessing! Parker has the hang of it too which makes it even better. He really likes his teachers and I think is nice to the kids.
He is such a handful these days! He has mastered the art of temper tantrums. He collapses to the floor dropping to his knees then fallings the rest of the way down in a "WHY WHY WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?" sort of tormented motion. He flips to his back and kicks his feet turning his body in a circle. God forbid he hit his head on something during this maneuver or the whole thing escalates. It is just hysterical to watch. Well, sometimes it's funny. It is not funny when he does this on the elevator or on an airplane. That is not funny. It is also not funny at 5 in the morning - he has taken to waking up with the sun. I do not have it in me to be understanding or sympathetic to anything that early in the morning. If he wakes up that early expecting Mrs. Cleaver he is SOL! You would think he would just opt to play quietly in his room until 7 but no, he would rather deal with me and I guess that is sweet. He is talking a lot! He is capable of following directions like "give this Dad" or "go find your shoes" but I am learning capable is not always willing and it is the getting him to be willing part that I need to work on. Anyway, we are all doing just fine here! I do love this site and I miss writing - it is a great outlet. I just have not had time for outlets!!! I will do better! Thanks for still checking!
