Feeling Better?

Logan seems to be feeling better now. Wednesday night we took him to the ER after a 2 hour coughing fit. They did blood work, urine test and a chest xray. Everything came back normal. I thought that was a good sign. They gave us a Ventolin inhaler to help his cough and it seemed to do the trick. Atleast he wasn't getting the long coughing attacks anymore. But he was still sleeping 18 hours a day and just looked horrible. So Friday I took him to the doctor and he put him on antibiotics. By Sunday he was finally looking somewhat normal and was able to go to soccer practice. Poor guy was exhausted. After a week of doing nothing, it took alot of energy to play. But I think he's finally feeling better now. The best thing that has come of this, is that I think that we are finally out of pull ups. 8 days of being dry in the morning....YAY!!!

This is the last week of Jordan's soccer. So, one more practice, then one more game. Then it will be ball hockey season. Jordan's so excited for that to start. Jordan's Sunday soccer coach gave me the best compliment about Jordan last night. He said that Jordan's got awesome ball control and has really learned to use his size to block his opponent. He's figured out a way to compensate for not having the speed. Wtg Jordan!!

Fevers

Logan's had a fever since Saturday. Poor little guy. I've been giving him Tylenol every 3-4 hours since Saturday morning, but it's just not breaking it. We didn't send him to hockey on Sat morning obviously and he was quite choked about that. This morning when I got up for work he was really shaky so I put him in bed with Ma and she just phoned me to tell me that he now has diarrhea. I really hope he gets over this soon. As you all know it sucks to watch your children get sick.

Jordan had 4 hours of soccer last night. He loved it and crashed as soon as his head hit the pillow. I told Dean to let him sleep in today and if he's late for school, then so be it. He needs his sleep and needless to say that he will be in bed early tonight.

My birthday was last Tuesday. Nothing exciting happened. Skating lessons, swimming, and soccer practice. Hey....it's all about the kids now, right? Mom and Dad took us out for dinner to celebrate it on Monday. Mom got me a gift certificate for Taverna Greka which Dean and I used on Valentines Day. It was a delicious dinner. And the boys got me a pedicure and manicure which I was going to get today, but I think that I would rather go home and look after my sick boy.

That's it for now, but I will post again soon!

Where does time go?

It seems like it was so long ago that we were hustling through the malls buying Christmas presents, trying to fit in holiday visits with friends and family and just enjoy the mood. But really it was only 6 weeks ago. When I try to think about anything exciting that's happened, I can't. But yet we are still very busy. Between skating lessons, swimming lessons, volleyball and soccer, sometimes I don't have time to think. But it's a good busy because the boys love it.

Logan has completed another set of skating lessons. He's now going into level 4. He has also started a hockey school on Saturday mornings. It's for 3-5 year olds and they learn the basics about hockey. He loves it and looks so adorable in his hockey gear. So between the skating lesson, hockey school and Dean taking him to Puck and Stick once a week, he's getting tons of ice time. He is also doing swimming lessons twice a week and is going to repeat Preschool level 5 this week. We've also signed him up to do soccer on Sunday evenings at Douglas College.

Jordan passed level 8 of swimming. I'm so proud of him. Before his surgeries he would have to do each level 2 or 3 times. But since level 6 he's been sailing. So this afternoon he starts level 9!!
He is also still playing soccer on Saturdays and he too does the Douglas College soccer camp on Sundays evenings. The boys really love their coach there. Jordan's doing really well in school, despite the number of TOC's they've had since January. I'm not sure that I would be able to handle the inconsitencies like he has. Last night was student lead conferences and he was so proud to show us all the work they've done this year.

Dean and I are both playing Volleyball twice a week. One night is drop in and the other is a league. It's lots of fun and the team is great group of people.

We are also finally getting our carport turned into a garage. Dad has hired someone to do the work and it's looking great. Really, it's going to be fabulous when it's done. I think they are expecting it to be finished within the next 2 weeks.

Today is my birthday, but nothing exciting will be going on. It's Tuesday, so that means skating, swimming and soccer..lol. But really, I can't think of a better way to spend my birthday then with my kids.
