Time Warp

Then: Baby G woke up around 11pm with a horrible sounding cough and difficulty breathing.  Off to the ER we went--I felt completely overwhelmed managing the situation at home.  I was also not going to be taking any chances since she had RSV at 1 month.  We needed help!  Thankfully she tested negative for RSV, was irrigated and suctioned with a fancy machine that got out all the goop in her nose, and was given a steroid to open her airways.  We were in and out in under 2 hours and she was back home and sleeping restfully soon after.  By her feeding at 4am, she was breathing SO much better.  I'm so glad we went.  Thank you, Lord.

Now: M, GG, and I returned a little while ago from his morning First Reconciliation retreat at our church.  It was very nice, but the parents didn't spend much time with the kids which I found to be a bummer.  M gave it a thumbs-up and recited the story of The Prodigal Son on our way home.  Good stuff!  The girls were here all morning with a sitter and baby G officially doesn't take a bottle.  Good to know.  J and T both had soccer games, shuttled around by Papa.  We are now getting projects done outside to be ready for the storm.  I did a slew of raking and pruning yesterday and GG and I just bagged all the debris--4 huge bags worth.  Feels good!  We are gassing up the cars and finishing mowing the lawn...  Lots of prep work!

Tomorrow: We'll see how this storm plays out.  Right now our plan is to head to Mass at 9am and see where things take us after that.  We have nothing else on the schedule, so hopefully we won't go stir crazy and can have some nice family time... until the power goes out. ;)  I bought us new flashlights last night, so at least we won't be in the dark!  haha

God bless,
