Seeking: Rest

This weekend was full. Saturday morning, Colin attempted to head back to basketball after three weeks out because of his cold/cough.


He played for a while, but ended up having to sit out most of the game at the end because his coughing wouldn't give up. It got worse as the weekend progressed, and today we headed to the doctor. He is having a lot of trouble breathing and can't seem to sleep well, so the doctor told us to start using his nebulizer and albuterol every four hours, at least through this week to stop the spasms he is having in his lungs. He suspects he may have a sinus infection as well, but wants to see if this will help clear things up before starting him on an antibiotic. I feel so bad for him. The coughing was so bad yesterday that he actually vomitted. Hopefully the two doses he gets in before bed will help him sleep. If not, we'll be up every four hours tonight as well. Although we may end up awake anyway, the albuterol is a steroid and often causes him to lose sleep anyway.




After basketball, we headed to the pumpkin patch with Aunt Alicia and Jason to pick pumpkins and headed home for a day of carving. It was a lot of fun and the pumpkins turned out great! Thanks for spending the day with us guys! We all had a blast!


Jeremy made it home Sunday and returned back to work today. It was nice to have him home, but for some reason the past two days ended up exhausting me more than relaxing me. It's so difficult trying to cram in quality time when there's laundry that needs to be done and groceries to be bought before he has to return. We're all tired, but glad that work allowed for him to return home again this week. It was nice to have someone to be awake with during the coughing spells last night...someone to share the worry with, I guess it sort of lifts some of the burden. Our smoke detector ended up defecting last night as well. Ha! What a night! So, after he checked on Colin, Jerm could hear Chloe stirring. He got her out of bed so we could play with her for a little bit, mind you this was well past midnight. She was so groggy and giddy, and very cute I might add. :) She was patty-caking for him and we both got a big kick out of it. She is such a good baby. After a little while, I just took her in and laid her back in her crib. She rolled over and went right back to sleep. What an angel-baby!

Praying for a good night's rest for everyone!
