Today was split between being so sleepy I could not really do anything, and being so hands-on and attentive that I couldn't feel sleepy.
Cirdan almost definitely has Lyme. This afternoon was spent at the hospital getting an X-ray of his right knee, and having blood drawn. The poor guy was sooo scared. Both Solomon and I went with him. We went out and bought a brand new toy before we went to the hospital. Cirdan was a trooper! Despite his fear he got through it all with flying colors! Having some new action figures to play with and his favorite playmate Solomon, made all the difference. It kept him from dwelling on what was coming up, and helped keep him calm.
At the same time, Solomon and I are fighting off this cold, and for me a cough. Jaden has the cough, as does Zoe, and Thea seems to be getting it too. Not fun at all, but also not that serious.
I really think that I did a fairly good job, but I did have the TV on most of the day for the kids, and sank into laziness myself too several times...
I am grateful that I am feeling very compassionate toward Cirdan right now. It's not hard to keep him in my thoughts and to be attentive when he needs me.
Please Lord make us well, and heal Cirdan. I'll do everything I can, but you are the only healer.
