TODAY IS A WONDERFUL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to say that something has changed with Nate, but it has not. He is still the very same. We have included some pain meds, which seem to help with his discomfort. This cough has been going on now for over a month and it a real fear and possibility that it will turn to pneumonia. We have no illusions about what that means for him. But I say again...TODAY IS A WONDERFUL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When we got home this afternoon we had a very nice surprise for us, well Nate actually. We received a post card from a Dfriend (you know who you are) which was just giving us encouragement that we need right now. Nate also received a package from a Girl Scout troop (all 10yrs old) each girl had written Nate a small letter saying very nice things. This was not stamped as if it had come in the mail, but it was in the mailbox. I am still not sure how it got to him. Each little card was sealed, but no stamp or postmarks. (this will drive me crazy trying to figure it out) We also got a terrific Winnie the Pooh card from another Dfriend. (S&V, I would have said something sooner, but the card was delivered to the wrong house and we just got it.) AAAAANNNNNDDDDDD we got a very, very, uplifting letter, which I read and then read again and again. It made me cry, but good tears (K.R., you don't know how much your words meant to me.) Inside this letter were several drawn pictures from a kindergarten class to Nate. Each one was so colorful and beautiful! I showed them all to Nate and then hung them up in his room so he can see them when he is in bed. I was so excited by these pictures, I have to admit, I couldn't figure out what some of them where (hey they are in kindergarten) but they all used such bright colors and made them special for Nate. A couple of the children even drew snowmen, which was nice since we don't get snow here in Houston, but we did when we lived in St. Louis. He got gifts from a group of children that are his own age. I thought that was so neat!
So, if you add in the fact that Nick got a great score on his Math test today, you can see why this was a WONDERFUL DAY!!!!
O.k., I'm easy to please I guess, but getting all of these things in one day just felt like Christmas! It's good enough when you get mail that's not a bill, much less receiving mail that is full of well wishes! Thanks everyone...between this board and my mail today, I am back on track! Thanks for being patient with my emotional break down!
P.S. Shirley, if you read this, I did not find the med at our pharmacy, but I did see it on the internet. There was not much info on it though. I will keep looking here. Oh, and PLEASE don't be upset with me. You will understand in the next few days what I mean by that. And if you try to call and fuss at me, I wont answer the phone. You never take enough credit. Luv ya!
to you and Nate in his time of need.
Continued prayers each and every day!
