There aren’t enough hours in the day (but that is true for most Mom’s) and I have been swamped with trying to get some new scheduling figured out. Hopefully this week will be a little less complicated and have less debates. Apologies to those of you who have taken interest in my blog [Read more]
My birthday was off to a great start as when I returned from the hospital (pain meds) around 7h45 the house was quiet and still… I thought maybe the kids were busy eating in the kitchen and went towards my room to hang my coat. In the doorway of my room I found Lloyd standing [Read more]
Emeraude was thrilled yesterday when she spoke to her father on the phone and he announced that he would be back home today. He has been working out of Hearst & Kapuskasing for some time now and had, when he left 2 weeks ago, not thought he would return until the 2nd or 3rd week [Read more]

A very long day, faster paced than I like to live through but all in all it went well. I started the day at the hospital, getting pain meds after having taking oral meds to no avail around 6:30am and it looks like my day will most likely finish with a trip there as well [Read more]

Monday the Family Place’s Gross Motor Skills Program started at the Rec Centre. I have to say that Emeraude did enjoy herself,very much. I was so impressed with her when at the beginning of the class she suggested follow the leader and then asked to be the leader and did a great job [Read more]
Symptoms are really interfering with my ability to have any quality of life. 8am 50mg oral prednisone 120mg ratio-morphine Lloyd had to be at school early for a basketball game and at 8am was just putting Emeraude next to me in bed to say goodmorning. I struggled to balance on my legs as there [Read more]
I was woken up by Lloyd this morning, poached eggs in hand and I couldn’t have been more appreciative of his efforts! Emeraude had offered to accompany me to my treatment last night at bedtime and so he had already fed her some breakfast as well. I worked at getting the two of us ready [Read more]
I began my treatment this morning… tonight will go smoothly having had the solumedrol early in the day. I ate a few packs of crackers during the treatment (which was over the course of about an hour) and they seemed to settle my stomach. I was thrilled when, near the end of my treatment, I [Read more]
