Welp. Alijah didn't get either of the Houston TDI openings. So he's broadening the job hunt.

New goal is Alijah job lined up for March 16th start date. That would put boys' move at end of next grading period and give everyone spring break in Houston.

Sorry for his not getting either of the jobs. I thought it was a pretty sure thing about being able to transfer after the first of the year... so that has got to be a real kick in the teeth.

I know this is tough... you and the family CAN DO THIS..... a little longer...

Has anyone used a red / infared light for joint pain? If so what brand?

This abstract states many studies showning benefits...

Cassandra is having fun organizing her loft bed area.

Loft beds are so cool for kids. My daughter had a full size futon bunk bed with a twin on top, she loved it. When she went to college, we bought her a loft bed for her dorm room.

If we ever build a house it will have tall ceilings and rooms sized for maximum number of bed positions. The bathroom door is off center a bit in this room but will still fit 3 twin beds.

Up since 1am with Dominic. First he rolled on top of Dexcom making a compression low that errored it out. I got him rolled over and it reading again. Just in time for him to wake up with bad leg cramps.



Finally going back to sleep after pain killers, gatorade, and hot bath. We only need to be up at 6am to drive back to Fort Worth for Christmas, ugh!

 

[Margali]

Ugh, I have respiratory something courtesy of coworker. We did presents yesterday with kiddo's grandma so atleast I'm not missing anything.
Dominic is also coughing so watching him like a hawk. So far no fever or anything. Our new insurance kicks in Monday.

 

[farmerjan]

Sorry for the respiratory... hopefully Dominic will not get much of anything else... Can you do some of the "homeopathic" type things with the insulin... like echinacea and vit c and elderberry? Keep his immune system as boosted as possible?
Saying a prayer for things to not get worse healthwise, and for your family to get through the holidays, and then DH to get a super job interview with the new year...

I have strep AND Flue A. Luckily I am within the time for Tamiflu.

Dominic doesn't have anything yet. We have meds in case he gets worth.
