4 Miles

We're all home!

Alex and James came home at 12, we had to go out to get his medicine (a whole box of bagged meds + a portable IV pole and other tubes I get to use to "flush" the meds into his system).

Roads are driveable if you're James…Mom and I like to follow the advice to stay inside if you don't have to go out. We've gotten between 7-8 inches and the winds are pretty strong, thus we're under a blizzard warning. I've been wanting to experience a blizzard for years…figures the one time we get one its when I don't want it!

My dad is supposed to be flying from Ireland to Chicago to here today…so the next prayer request is that he'll be able to get home.  We're thinking he'll be stuck in Chicago.

Alex did really well last night.  Slept most of the night.  He only woke up once for a long drink on his sippy cup.  He slept until 7am this morning and has been happy/fussy calling for "mumma" this morning.  I have alternated toys, holding him, gram-crackers and a sippy cup this morning trying to make him happy.

The pediatric orthopedic Dr showed up this morning to look in on him.  Will, once again, tried to get as far away from him as possible.  I don't think he likes that guy.  He said that we can remove the ace bandage sometime today.

We are waiting on Dr. Belcher (Infectious Disease) to arrange for the antibiotics.  Dr. Didelo said that it was up to Belcher as to when we can head out. 

Of course, if we ARE released today we have to deal with the snow storm we have here.  They are claiming that it has the potential to rival the blizzard of '78.  The county we live in is the southern most "snow" county.  Below us it is a wintry mix of freezing rain and snow.

Thank you for your prayers.
