Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow

Time for a Weekend Update.  Before I bolt down the hall for my bed.

Overall, we’re seeing improvement!  Let’s have a celebratory cheer from wherever you are! Woo hoo!

To be a bit more specific, for those of you who like that kinda thing, she’s had no screaming fits today (except when she screeched a little during some reprimand response) and her belly seems to be calming down.  We did use the probiotics and got her back on yogurt, which she accepted better today than she has previously.  She seems to be having no pain with her surgical sites, so we’re very happy about that.  She did have a bit of a screaming fit last night that led to a bit of bleeding, which is supposed to earn us a trip to the ER, according to surgeon’s instructions, but it was minimal and short-lived, so we just waited it out. No problems there.

She still is having issues sleeping.  She was up last night again every hour for about the first 3, when I gave in and brought her to bed with me.  She slept better then for the following few hours, but that means I didn’t.  I passed her over to her dad’s side about 5 am, and the two of them slept well for about 3 more hours.  I did get a couple hours in there as well.  Thankfully, Kinlee slept later this morning than her norm, so we didn’t get up til about 830 am.  That is WAY late around here.

Her nap today was better than it has been, though still short, and I’m hopeful that we see more of a ‘normal’ sleeping situation tonight.  Please, goodness!

She’s still strangely fidgety and kind of… I don’t know… obstinate, in a way.  I’m not sure what that’s about, but it is not what we’re used to.  I hope it also lessens as the other issues are addressed.

Right now, the clock on my computer says 10 pm, Kinlee is having trouble going to sleep, keeps having little moments of sad whimpering, but Braska is quiet and snoozing.  I’m hoping all is calm soon so I can get some nice long stretches of sleep tonight.

Tomorrow evening we go to meet Braska’s new teacher for this coming school year, which starts on Wednesday (not sure how much Braska will BE there on Wednesday, though) so I’m glad to get to meet her and start the acquainting process. 

Thank you again for all your support, ideas, input, and especially your prayers.  THIS is why I have a hard time letting go of this blogging addiction I have… it’s all of you, my lifelines, the ones who encourage and support, from nearby and far away.  Blessings to you, my friends.

  1. Hope meeting the teacher is a huge success even if she isn't able to go on Wed.
    Praying that you had some good sleep last night and that each day gets better!

Oh happy day, Less question mark!

As a follow up to yesterday's post, I got word today that we will NOT be assigned to the new guy, but we will have an experienced coordinator after all. I feel SO much better. I also learned some other info today that made me think I still have some kinks to work out, so I'll be taking care of that this next week. I'll be SO glad when this transition/IEP stuff is behind us. I want to do the very best I can, but there's part of me who wants to just hide and let it all happen without me.

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h

Was there a line??

I assume that you went to vote, either today or earlier if possible. I expect that of you, know that straight up. How long did you wait in line?? And throw in the state you voted in, just for fun. I'm really curious if all areas have a big wait or if it's just the more congested ones. I voted Friday absentee/in person, and we waited about 15 mins or so. It moved VERY fast for a big line. There's just one place in our very populated county to do the absentee/in person voting, and it wasn't bad at all for what I thought it might be. If you haven't, GO VOTE people... again, please just know what you're voting for, either way. You may just have to live with your choice. God Bless America!!
