Sick
I have about three blog posts sitting unfinished… the combination of snow days and long work days were getting in the way. But now, Miss Jordan is sick. Again. This time she’s sicker than I’ve seen in a while. Poor baby. She spiked a high fever last night and couldn’t keep medicine down. I spent…

Jordan is quite possibly the toughest kid I’ve ever known. This past week she’s battled a stomach ick that kept her home for the week. He dad took care of her during the worst of it because I had to be at work very early many mornings. Jordan never complained. She never whined. She barely…

For the second time in a month, Jordan dealt with multiple days of high fevers… and no other symptoms. It’s pretty annoying when she gets sent home from school for a fever and there’s really nothing we can do about it. She really doesn’t seem to mind the high fever except for when it hits…

This past week was FILLED with excitement. A lot of it hovered around homecoming on campus. I tend to get all worked up and excited to see former students and invite some to stay with us. That gave Jordan a ton of opportunities to meet new friends. It also gave us a chance to hang…

I’ve suddenly started feeling crummy. My goal was to leave the house this evening to shop for cotton underwear for the girl… But I’ve suddenly picked up a sore throat and I’m wondering if my body is saying I should put this potty training on hold. I’ll give it a couple of days. Here’s the…

Yesterday was Cameron’s big birthday – and Jordan had to learn what it’s like to not be the center of attention. It’s the first time when she had to watch someone else open presents. Someone else got balloons. Someone else had songs and cake. She tolerated it pretty well… Except for the beginning of present…

In between my non-stop attempts to launch a new website and taking care of the kids… Jordan got sick for a day and came back remarkably quickly 24 hours later. I’m not sure how you can wake up with a 102.7 fever and feel better by the next day. But heck, Jordan did. After work…

Something’s going on with the girl. She slept poorly last night. She wouldn’t eat today… only mushy stuff. Anything the crunched ended up getting spit out. Of course some mushy stuff wasn’t right so she threw it. She cried a lot at school. Her nose it runny. She has a cough. It’s just a mess.…

Jordan needs more words. She desperately needs more words. She was doing pretty well with her sign language, but her hands can’t demand a toy, item or food as well as screaming. It’s high pitched, loud and mind bending. I’m usually pretty patient about this kind of stuff. But tonight I took her out of…

I dropped Jordan off in her new room. I was slightly nostalgic, and brought her old teachers flowers to thank them for their unending love to Jordan. She’s so lucky to have had them helping her grow and learn about the world for the last 10 months. When I put Jordan into her new room,…
