Well, things are going okay here. The only thing bad has been the stomach virus that has been going around. My husband had it last week, and I've had it since Friday. I feel better now and I am able to eat without feeling sick, but I am so tired. Other than that things are okay. Just one day at a time. B.J.'s meds have helped her to get over the stuffy nose and such, and she is now at maintanance doses of her inhalers. She only uses her Albuterol inhaler as needed, and the flovent every 12 hours. She is still taking physical therapy for her back and it seems to be helping too. She has an exercise ball now and is working on it at night as well. I hope it teaches her to be a little more active and to stay more healthy as she grows up. I haven't been doing to well on my exercising, everyone has just been to sick and I just got out of the habit of it all. I have to get into it again as soon as I get to where I am not so winded when I walk.
Well that is about it for now, I will post again soon.

Well, B.J.'s appointment with the Asthma doctor went well. I think I will like him. He asked lots of questions and answered mine. We learned a lot today, and I am pleased with the outcome. We go back in about 8 weeks, unless something happens that they would want us back earlier.
Other than that things are well, and except for it being colder than it has been in a long time, I am enjoying life. It would be okay, if we would actually get some snow instead of it going all around us and teasing me. I want to lay in the snow and make snow angels, and a snowman, and oh yeah, have a good snowball fight with B.J., but if it doesn't snow that will kind of be impossible. Oh well, God knows what he is doing and I will just have to wait and see if the snow comes this year. Okay, to explain why I want it to snow, when I was young we lived in Pennsylvania, and we even had to walk to the bus stop in snow up to our knees. My uncle would pull us around with the snowmobile with a hood of a car strapped to the back of it. My cousins and brother and sister and I would be riding on the hood across the corn fields we would go. It was so much fun. And my uncle could make a snow ball feel like it was nothing but an ice ball and we would be running and screaming and having a great time in the snow. I miss the snow to say the least. Here we only get a little and sometimes none at all. It is so different. I love it here, but I miss being up north too.
So, other than this I have been participating with Church functions, and we have decided to redecorate John's room into a craft and computer room for me. It took my husband a little while to decide that he was ready for that, but he is coming along and even said he was ready to give John's stuffed animals to a charity of some kind. A little at a time, we are adjusting and going on with life without John here on earth. I know he is here in spirit with us, but he lives with God now and I wouldn't want it any other way. I also know that he would want me to live life to its fullest, and be happy, and I aim to make him proud as well as God. So one day, one minute, one hour at a time, with God all things are possible and I will live and be happy and have my memories of my little angel John.
Until next time,
God bless,
Judy

Well, Becky is doing better, thank the Good Lord. She is still a little stuffy in the nose, but she is well enough to be back at her place and at work today. There are a few bugs going around here, one being the upper respiratory thing Becky had and the other is a very nasty stomach bug. Thankfully, Becky is the only one that has been bad sick in our family so far, and I pray God sees us through without these illnesses.
This week is a busy one for us. B.J. has physical therapy on Tuesday and Wednesday, then on Thursday she has her first visit with the Pulmanologist (? spelling) in Nashville. She has had asthma since she was about 21 months old, and it has been controlled real well until the last year or so. She hasn't seen a specialist about it since her revisit from her first attack back in 1995, and with her having to hit her inhaler more often now even though she is on singulair, I thought it would be best to have her seen by someone who deals with it in children daily. I love our general physician, but when it comes to my kids and something like asthma it is time to bring in the specialists in my opinion. Wish us luck, I am sure she will be fine, but I want her asthma more under control.
I am doing okay, a little moody lately, but okay. With all the stuff going on, I am not sleeping well again so that may be part of the problem. But with God's help as well as my family and of course time, things will straighten out I am sure. It is hard sometimes to take care of myself and dealing with the emotions of the death of John, and also trying to take care of the families emotions and feelings about it too. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by it all, but I am strong, and I can do it, as long as I have God, Family, and friends, to help me when I need it. To all those who read this blog, Thank you for your support and friends ship. I truly cherish you all so much.
Until next time,
May God bless you all,
Judy

Well, the snow didn't last long, even though we got about an inch or so, it was about gone by morning from the rain that followed it. B.J. was a little disappointed because they didn't even get out of school. I enjoyed it but would have liked for it to stay around longer so I could go out and make a snow man or something. But, maybe the next round will give us a little more, who knows.
My oldest daughter, Becky is at the Doctors clinic this morning. She is sick and is dealing with her first illness since being an adult, and I can't be there for her. It is bothering me so much that I can't be there because I am babysitting a 3 year old that I watch every Saturday. I don't know why, but it is really getting to me. I just have this bad feeling that she is more sick that everyone thinks. They are taking x-rays of the sinuses and chest, and IV's. I don't know about lab work yet, they may or may not. She doesn't get sick often, it has been about 8 years or so since she had to have an IV or anything. The look on her face when I told her I had to get the boy out of there and fed broke my heart. I know she understood, but she wanted me there. I did call my son, Brad, and he is going to sit with her for me. I pray she gets better real soon.
Well, I need to go finish lunch for the boy I sit with.
God Bless,
Judy
