Well, I posted my blog on Thursday the day of Connor’s infusion at TCH but posted it before the day was over.
We came home that afternoon and after I posted on FB that I am ready to sit back and have a glass of wine, my wonderful and precious friend Caroline came over bearing bread, cheese, Strawberries, Chocolate and the best of all the gift of an evening relaxing and having a fun Girl Time and Conversations :)
THANK YOU once again to my amazing friend for taking the time and for her husband to take over meal and bed times with their cute twin boys :)
Friday’s big event was Ron coming back from Paris and to the boys delight he was carrying gifts in the form of very tasty sweets and cookies. There is a lot I like about France and the Food and Pastry selections are high on my list. Ron will be home for 5 days this week and then he will start going on 4 day Caribbean trips and also one Anchorage trip so far.
Saturday I had a wonderful visit from a friend I made when I was still part of the Lake George MOPS group and it was a true treat for me to hear from her since she has just returned to Colorado after spending one year in Germany. Oh, and Anne if you are reading this I have to tell you, you have me craving Yogurt ever since we talked! :)
Saturday to Sunday Night was our little hick-up with Connor. He seemed to do really well after his latest IVIG Infusion on Thursday and so it came to a big surprise for us when last night at 2:20 AM the wireless doorbell we had installed in our room with a push button next to his bed was going of. We installed this chime at first when Connor was released from the hospital and after we felt comfortable enough to move him back in his own bedroom. Not once has he used it and we told me he should only push the button if something was wrong and he needed us there asap. So we both, Ron and I, got up and went to his bedroom where he was sitting in his bed complaining about pain in his knee. I went and got him some tylenol and Ron laid down with him for about 30 m in until he was back asleep. About 1 hour after this we heard Alexander calling ‘Mama, Papa’ through the house so up we got again only to be told he could not sleep and was worried about bugs. So here Ron went again and laid down with Alexander for about 30 min until he was back asleep .... Can you tell that my husband has more patience at night time? I personally need my sleep and don’t do well when it is interrupted and if that goes well then I have quiet a bit of patience during daylight hours - ha ha.
As of today everything was heavenly. Colorado weather was at it’s best. We got up in the morning to beautiful blue skies and warm enough temperatures that we were able to have our Belgian Waffle Breakfast on the Back Deck. The boys got to feed Chipmunks afterwards while I got to finish my Book ‘Sarah’s Key’ which was heartbreaking to read but also one of those books that will stay with you for a long time.
For lunch we all went on the 4-Wheeler to have a picnic in the National Forest next door and then had some fun getting wet in the sprinklers Ron had set up for the boys. So all in all a peaceful, fun and relaxing Sunday ... just what we needed :)
Hoping your weekend went as well as ours and now we are gearing up for a busy but fun week a head of us.
Hugs,
