I've been going through a lot of hard lately.
Blossom's progressing disease.
Balto had another bad week which, thankfully, turned out to be colitis.
Dad sick again; diagnosed with another kidney infection.
Mom....mom had a tough week with her mobility. And...a shooting pain that we are going to have the doctor check out today.
My brother's company warned of another round of layoffs.
9 out of the last 12 days have involved taking someone to therapy, a doctor appointment or a hair appointment.
There is good news:
Blossom is still with us and is very happy.
Balto's colitis...and his hotspot...have cleared up. He's a happy boy again.
Dad's kidney infection is responding to antibiotics and he feels better.
Mom's home health occupational therapy starts today.
Kevin survived another round of layoffs.
I am getting lots of tomatoes out of my garden!
Yesterday, I went to see my dentist for my 6 month cleaning. I was almost sent home as they said my temperature was 99.3. 99.3 is not a fever for me. I know this because of my past years of being a hypochondriac and taking my temperature so often! I am sure that some of it had to do with sitting in my hot car for 10 minutes before I went inside. We were told not to come into the building until the exact moment of our appointment. The receptionist took my temperature twice, told me that 99.4 was the cutoff and for me to stay away from her. The good news is that I received a great report and there were NO cavities!
Blossom loves her trips to therapy.
This is Balto as I type this post. Could he be more spoiled?
Daniel decided to play in his old car. I warned him that if he got stuck I was not going to help him get out.
This is such a strange time for everyone. I keep reminding myself that this virus will be "over when it is over and not a minute sooner". I am learning patience though all of this hard. There is so much beauty and blessing all around. These days I cling to one of my favorite Bible verses to keep me going:

Time to take Mom to her doctor appointment; then it is off to work.
ReplyDeletePlease tell me Daniel was able to extricate himself from his Little Tykes car. The way the tires are placed where his kneecaps should be, he looks like a weird sort of amputee. It sounds like for every item of hard on your list, there is a good on the corresponding list. Like the last image says, take it one step at a time. You'll get through it. And from the sound of things, so will those around you.
Daniel did get out of his car. He asked me to help him and I said, "No". LOL. It only took him a couple of minutes to get out.
