Christy Update

Howdy! The blog was starting to look a little bare post-wise, so I thought I should at least check in. To be honest, my head has not been in the blog lately. In fact, my head has felt like it is full of cotton balls, doing well enough just to string together two coherent thoughts in a row.
I’m ill. And not the Licensed To Ill kind the Beastie Boys sang about. Ill as in having an annoying cough, sore throat, general weakness, and a few other not so uber fun symptoms. And that isn’t the worst of it.
My precious little two-year has also been sick. Hubs got take out for lunch yesterday and usually Lil Roo loves to push in the little button thingies that tell you what kind of drink you have. Well, yesterday, he was unable to. He was too weak and his tiny little hand and fingers would tremble as he tried to. I “helped” so he could get it done, because he wasn’t giving up. It broke our hearts to see him feeling that weak. We gave him meds regularly, though less often than actually suggested (I always waver between wanting him well as soon as possible and the fear that he’ll get too much of the meds in his system and feel all medincey-head) and we’ve kept the Pedialyte flowing. “Orange drink” is fabulous. Pedialyte, I hereby confess my undying love for you. If you, in your orange-drinkness, were a man, and if I were not already married, I think I’d marry you.
The little guy is on the mend, but not yet 100%. He is so much better than yesterday morning / early afternoon though and that is a wonderful thing. He still wakes during the night (since he’s been sick). He woke up from what must have a horrible dream during today’s naptime, fighting with his pillow, trying to get the pillowcase off. He was very clingy and so easily upset for quite awhile after that.
We had family movie night tonight. We ordered in pizza and watched The Veggie Tales: The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything. Such. A. Cute. Movie. I just loved it. Tonight was actually the second time I watched it and I’m not sure how many times Lil Roo has seen it now. It has become one of our faves around here. It came in as a review; so I’ll be writing more about it, but if you haven’t seen it yet, get it. Too cute!!
In other news, hubs brother had open-heart surgery this morning. He had a heart attack during the night at home several nights ago and went to the hospital the following day because of chest pain (which is when he found out he had the heart attack the night before). He had two more heart attacks while in the hospital. Last we heard, he was in recovery doing ok. We are hoping to find out more tomorrow and possible visit (if I still have this cold hanging on, I’ll probably stay home and not take my sickness around.) Prayers are much appreciated.
I’m not sure how mentioning a couple quick things turned into this long post… I guess I’m just wordy. I’m hoping it at least makes some sort of sense. The way I’m feeling at the moment, I’m not making any promises.
