Thursday Thoughts

A is still not feeling 100%.  He called his CF doctor on Tuesday and started an antibiotic.  He is getting his energy back and the congestion and coughing are definitely better – all great signs.  But his breathing isn’t completely back to normal and he just doesn’t seem himself, which concerns me.  Please keep him in your thoughts.  I always worry when he comes down with a nasty virus!

A had conferences last night so it was just me and the boys.  I made a yummy dinner (baked ravioli for me, spaghetti for the boys), gave both boys a bath, had a dance party with W, read books with S, and had both boys in bed (one asleep) when A arrived home just after 8.  I was feeling like super mom.  I was also tired and I’m so appreciative that A is such a hands-on dad!  And now that I just bragged about that, I’m sure tonight will be a disaster.

We have rain in the forecast nearly every day next week.  How depressing!  I need sun!

I recently signed up to receive alerts from the FDA.  This was something I should have done ages ago given my job.  Better late than never!  Anyway, seeing approvals for new drugs gives me hope that there will be better drugs for CF patients in the future.  I just wish they’d hurry up!

Finally, my sweet S is having quite a few terrible twos moments lately.  Last night, he kept insisting on sitting on the coffee table.  I’d tell him no and take him off the table and he’d just laugh.  I gave him a time out and when it was over, he climbed back on the table.  He thought it was the funniest thing.  Stinker.
