is acting better tonight (thank god).  He scared me a little last night as he moaned his way through the night.  Today he had snippets of ADD behavior alternating with lethargy and punkiness.  I gave him only some of his meds – hence the ADD behavior.  He even fell asleep on the couch for an hour and a half!  Yeah, a nap…he hasn’t taken one of those in about 3 years! 

Still getting fevers when the meds wear off so we will be spending some bonding time together again tomorrow but I’m hopeful that our weekend won’t be too bad. 

So, 3 out of 5 days I will have been out of the office/hospital this week.  It’s gotten to the point that I don’t even know where to begin to catch up.  Half of my stuff is at the office and half is on the computer and half is in my email but…well, I need prompts from my desk to remember it.  UGH!

A bunch of bloggers are doing a special thing this month – trying to publish a blog a day and to say what they are thankful for.  Well, I can’t guarantee a daily blog, but I definitely have a lot to be thankful for!

things I am thankful for:  My son Matthew who was my hardest to attach but who has developed such trust in me that I am overwhelmed by the responsibility of it sometimes.
