Happy Halloween!

Okay, I am a day early, but Happy Halloween all the same. Trunk or treat was a blast, and I had a real good time as did B.J. even though she really didn't need to be out in the chill. She was still sick from Thursday, but I let her go anyway. I had to take her to the clinic for a thyroid ultrasound, but I also ended up having the doctor look at her again, and sure enough I was right. She wasn't better, she was worse, so she ended up getting a shot of rocephine and decadron (sp?) plus another antibiotic. It seems to be working, she wasn't as congested and the cough has subsided also. Now my oldest daughter is sick and had to have a shot today too. The weather has been so back and forth lately that it is really getting people sick with the cold like stuff and the flu. Already the flu has been rough this year with a lot of kids and adults getting sick. Oh well, God will take care of it all in his own time. We have decided to have B.J. checked by a specialist since her asthma is flaring more and more and harder to control. I told her Primary Doctor that I would feel better if she saw a pediatric specialist that deals with Asthma and lung function to make sure she is okay and to better control her symptoms. She has already missed over 12 days of school and it has only been about 11 weeks of school. That is not good in my book, she makes great grades in school and I do not want to risk her slipping in her studies because of missing due to asthma. A mothers work is never done, HA.

Other than all that things are going well, and life goes on. I got a little down last night, regretting not having that Family Photo made before John's GVHD flared up so bad and he passed away. My husband and B.J. don't like to have their pictures made and I told them that was to bad, that I waited to long and missed the chance to get one while John was alive, I wouldn't make that mistake again. I am going to start checking around for prices for a professional photo of my family and I will hog tie them kicking and screaming if I have to but I will get my family shot one way or another. That is my biggest regret right now, that I don't have my family picture with John in it. Breaks my heart when I think about it. But anyway, Life goes on, and I do have some good pictures of John and may have my favorite in the picture with us.

Well, I need to go for now, I have to take B.J. her next dose of medicine in a little while and I have to shower first. May God bless and keep you all.
