every 4 hours...

This morning your eyes looked a little brighter, you're still not eating much, or wanting to get off the couch... Your still wanting to nap and snuggle and just lay still, but you can hold your breathing tube and your new monkey and somewhere in the midst of your crazy morning hair and your dark circled eyes, I see a bit of your sparkle... and I breathe easier as you do...

Love you baby.

Daddy calls it your piece pipe and makes you think you're an Indian... Daddy is so silly...

:(

Dear Greyson,

Buddy, you sure do like to scare your momma senseless you know that? You have pneumonia, severe in your right lung, mid-line in your left. You ran a fever most of the weekend starting Saturday night, over the day Sunday you had a couple of high fever spikes and started coughing, a lot. This morning you were still feverish so off to the Dr. we went. I was told they were going to do a breathing treatment in the office, and see if you sounded any better at all after. If not, hospital bound we were. You did your treatment and our Dr. said that you sounded a little clearer, but not much and sent us for chest x-rays. She gave momma your "in-home" care directions but said depending on the x-ray we might be hospital bound yet.

The tech took processed your images and her first words were, "Are you headed back to the Dr or going straight to the hospital?"

My heart sank and I kinda wanted to throw up as I mumbled, "we were supposed to go home and wait for the Dr.'s call, are his lungs really bad, do I need to go to the hospital?"

She replied with, "Oh, well I can't say, but I'll send these to your Dr. right now, so please go straight home."

I cried all the way home....

Not in the door more than 15 minutes and the phone rang... "Heather, he's a pretty sick little boy, but I think you can keep him home. I trust that you will do his Neb treatments every 4 hours and keep a close eye on him, and if anything, anything at all changes for the worse, you call me and/or go straight to the hospital."

We go back in 48 hours for a re-check including x-rays... that is as long as thing's don't get worse and we stay out of the hospital.

You took a nice nap this afternoon and have not left the couch, that's how I know you truly are so sick, even at some of your sickest moments, you like all kids, still want to get up. When you try to get up, you get dizzy and weak and sit right back down. My poor little peanut...

Please feel better and get better soon baby. While momma loves all the snuggle time we're getting, I don't love it at the cost of you feeling so poorly...

Love you,
Momma

P.S. - to make the day even more exciting?!? You lost your front top big tooth tonight!! It's your 5th lost tooth and right now you have 1.5 still missing on the bottom and now the missing one on top and the other front top one is hanging on by a thread... You did your best to give me a big gap toothed smile tonight... Such a trooper you are. I love you!

Week One - Instagram...

So... I have a new obsession and I just found it this morning... yeah, I work fast with my obsessions!! How I've lived under a rock for so long to not have already had this obsession is BEYOND me, but I've finally crawled out and am in the trenches, which I guess is crawling back in, but whatever, it's fun down here with all the photo goodness and moods and looks, and old-timey-ness and hey Polaroid and Oh.Wow.How.Did.I.Ever.Live.With.OUT.This!?!?!?!

Yes, it's an app for my phone. Instagram - how I love thee...

So here is week one of what I plan (ha!) on making a weekly (bi-weekly? daily? monthly? yearly? whenever the mood strikes?) feature... :) Enjoy!

Yup... that's my kid holding a goat...

The picture is awesome-sauce in feel...

Not so awesome-sauce in germs - I don't do petting zoo's and can promise you I was not on the school premise when this little beauty happened, but Greyson loved it!! He also held a pig and a rabbit and his teachers thought it HIGH-larious to text me the pictures because they like to make me throw-up in my mouth a little bit, but also, because look at that grin... He was so HAPPY. The goat (pig and rabbit) not so much... But Greyson - he was all about the petting zoo... EWWWW!! :)

Basketball

We're actually closing in on the end of basketball season!! This year has been GREAT!! Greyson really loves his team, his coaches and the game. Greg has been able to sit on the sidelines and watch and enjoy, I've been able to cheer and squeal and do all the things that I'm sure will one day embarrass him to no end, but for now he looks over with a big grin and gives me a thumbs up!! The game comes fairly natural to him and like I said, he loves it! He's on our court in the backyard almost every night, and the hard work is paying off. He's one of the best ball handlers and shooters on the team!!

He shoots - He SCORES!!

Heading in for his shot!!
He gets the rebound and makes a fast dash back, for the perfect lay-up basket!

Playing a little defense...

and as always the proud smile that I love...

just because...

Dear Greyson,

I love you. You make me smile from the inside out... You make me giggle and laugh and go speechless with happiness!! You are so remarkably you, everything I love, everything I want, everything I need. Being your mom is the greatest gift I've ever received.

All the love in the world my sweet pea!!

Mommy
