Light at the end of the tunnel...


Oh, I sure hope so. Today, I wasn't as nauseated as I usually am. It would be nice if tomorrow were the same since I have to return to work after a much enjoyed week off. I'm sure the kids will be wiped out by the end of the day.....I know I will be.....I won't get an afternoon nap! That's the thing about vacation, you get used to sleeping a LOT and then it's BAM! back to reality. Oh well. I have Easter vacation to look forward to now. :)

Dennis has no light at the end of his tunnel. On Friday night he developed a fever and then Saturday woke up to strep throat and a swollen uvula (the dangley thing in the back of your throat). This is the second time this has happened in the past 6 months and the first time he was just as sick! It's really awful! He can barely talk and when he does you can't understand him because of all the swelling in his throat. Plus, he can't sleep laying down because his swollen uvula blocks his airway. So he's been having to sit up to sleep at night....if he can even manage sleeping that way! He just feels horrible and his fever wont' go away even with ibprophen every 4 hours. I feel so bad for him!!! Thankfully, we called his doctor today and they called in a prescription for antibiotics. Hopefully tomorrow he'll begin to see some light in his tunnel.

OH!!! And Caitlin is starting to walk around the house a bit. This afternoon I spied on her walking from behind the couch and around to the coffee table and then later tonight I saw her walking down the hallway!!!! It's going to be a crazy day when she chooses walking as her preferred method of transportation!
