It's been a big week....

For once let me blog about Ainsley.  Goodness knows she doesn't get quite the print that Jackson does, but it has been a big week (or two) for her for which she deserves the attention.

Two weeks ago (or so) she mastered the art of riding her bike without the training wheels.  Last week she learned (and yet again mastered) tying her shoes.  This week it was starting Kindergarten and then yesterday she lost her first tooth.  All momentous occasions, with much rejoicing and accolades following them.  I can't believe how much she has grown up in the last month.  I jokingly said to her that she is no longer allowed to eat vegetables or take her vitamins.  On some level I'd like nothing more than to lock her up in the tower and throw away the key.  Anyone know a good convent I can ship her off to? 

Don't blog angry....

Earlier, I put up a post that wasn't very flattering to certain people close to me.  While I admit it isn't pretty to air your dirty laundry, sometimes it is just what has to be done.  And now I feel better and have taken down the post in question.  The person in question none the wiser.

In the meanwhile, I'd like to say my social calendar is booked but as it turns out it is just my day to day grind.  Jackson has somewhere between 10 - 14 doctor's appointments in the next six weeks.  So stay tuned dear reader for the many updates yet to come in the very near future......

Junky Jack

He is still sick. Really junky junky lungs. We started Prednisone on Tuesday, which doesn't seem to have helped much. Low grade fever and a runny nose to boot. Mucky mucky mess. Keep your fingers crossed that we avoid the dreaded hospital.

A Summer Cold...

This past Friday, Jackson started with a runny nose.  By Sunday afternoon, there was a full fledge hacking cough and a bit of a wheeze.  Since then his respiratory status has gone downhill.  So a few days ago we dragged out the nebulizer and have been steadily increasing nebs in hopes of avoid another round of steroids.  We'll be visiting Dr. M sometime today to get our just-in-case-prescription of Prednisone.  With any luck we won't need it.
