A little piece of heaven

I need it with the whiiiiiiiiiiiiine I’m about to let loose.

Nathan is still sick. I had hopes that by catching the infection early, he would be all better by now. But no. He is sicker. His nose won’t stop running. He is pale and whiney.

And I have to admit, when Nathan gets like this, it sends me spiraling out of control. I feel useless down here. I do not know what to do to help him. I do not know why he keeps getting sick. He was so healthy when we were home! Why oh why is this happening? And what’s tough for me is I don’t have my usual doctors, health food stores, medicines, etc that I would use if I were home.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Okay enough of that.

Katy recently posted about whether or not she is an eternal optimist. It made me wonder – am I?

I think I am. At some point in life I realized I had to see the positive side of things or I would just live depressed! So I’ve developed the habit of always looking at the bright side of things and always staying optimistic.

So on the bright side: He just has a cold – nothing serious. So what if he misses a few days of CME – what is a few days in the scale of things. He is getting stronger with CME! So even if the journey isn’t linear, we are here, and it’s working. He is happy and healthy 90% of the time – a little bit of unrest and sickness is normal, to be expected. He calms down when I hug him and hold him close – it makes me happy to know that I represent a feeling of warmth and comfort for him.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, all better. Thanks for listening 🙂

I found this on Brextin’s blog:

Oh how I wish I’d had this when Nathan as smaller! I think now he’s too big for it, bummer. But I wanted to share it here because it’s SO COOL!

Nathan is still sick so we had a quiet, still day today. We watched a lot of movies, spent a few minutes at the park, then had dinner at a Mediterranean restaurant. Then we came home, cuddled, and he watched his cartoons while I watched House on my laptop.

I talked to my grandma today and she was devastated to hear that we are staying until March. It breaks my heart. I miss her terribly and hate that she feels this way. But I have to do this for Nathan, I have to give him this opportunity. I know she understands, but man, it’s tough.

Anyways, tomorrow will be another quiet day for us. We don’t have any plans yet so I hope we find something fun and relaxing to do 🙂 I hope you’re having a great weekend!
