tired

that's what i am. too tired to use caps, even. it's "humpday" - but feels like it should be friday. so here's a small update for my great big view.

hope. came down with a cold over the weekend. it's burst forth into her lungs and a sinus infection. she hasn't been to school yet this week. was very thankful for some sleep last night - a'la codeine cough medicine (for hope. although i was tempted). second dr. appt today. hopeful that a miracle will occur overnight and she won't be glued to her nebulizer. the bright side is..she isn't coughing and vomiting tonight. :)

sinuses. had my post-CT scan appointment yesterday (and slid hope in at the same time). turns out that the nurse i talked to last week was blind or looking at the wrong results. my ct scan is most definitely NOT clear (i know, use of caps. felt passionate about that moment). i was floored. the film was nowhere to be found, so i brought it up with me for hope's appointment today.

nothing has changed in my scan at all. i most definitely have polyps in the house. i'm going to contact the ent specialist/surgeon who took the polyps out 9 years ago and see what she says. i have to be honest - the thought of being poked and prodded the way that polyp-checking dr. does....well, not fun.

school. i'm praying hope is in a good place tomorrow morning and able to go to school. she's been out all week. i said that already, didn't i? see, i am tired.

birthday. hope's is in 9 days. we're going to celebrate with a swim party. it's decided.

a wife. i think i need one. don't worry. I haven't switched biblical sides. but seriously, i could use another one of me. just to do the laundry. make one of the many pharmacy runs or doctor gigs i've done this week. or give me a pat on the back for all things juggled. yup. i think i'd like a wife. even if it were just to help me in times like these. or to attend the polyp-prodding dr. appointment with me. seriously - that nose scope thing is beyond horrific.

would love your prayers. for healing. for polyp-doctor direction (smile) and a little rejuvenation for this tuckered out mom.
