I just got back from a walk with the lovely ladies again, and of course there is that super delishious ice cream that Derek makes mocking me...you stupid Ice Cream..some day I will show you who's boss...but for now my nemesis..for now you have won.
It was a good night for a walk, not to cold and the ground was dry. We walked most of it, ran a few blocks of it, which felt great, then when we went for round 2 of running it felt as if all this weight was pushing on my legs and it felt almost impossible to run, the other girls said they felt it too. It was another night of great conversations with Deb and Trish, I really enjoy their company, and no I am not just writing that because I know they read this lol, I just feel like they are really easy to connect with and so easy to get along with as well, there hasn't been any awkward silences yet, so that must be a good sign lol.
Kai finally went to bed easily tonight, didn't fight at 8 at all, I was out and Derek said he just went to sleep, first time in a few weeks he hasn't tried to get out of it...its a relief really. He is fighting this darn cold, but he is trooper, at first this morning I was keeping him home from daycare, but after a half hour he was acting his normal crazy self so Derek dropped him off and he had a great day at school. Then we played for a bit and I napped, then when I got up my best friend Tracey came over since she was in the area and she played with Kai and Reiko and we tried to have conversations lol, although Kai was pretty sure she only came to visit him and was not allowed to be distracted by me lol. But she is his God-Mother, so he can do no wrong in her mind lol.
Reiko had another good day, I think he is out of his fracture cycle..Thank Goodness!! Today I was trying to help him get to rolling over or at least onto his side more, he didn't like having to work for a toy or cookie, but he did well, got on his sides, but got scared and rolled back again, dont blame him though, I am sure it is hard to fight the fear or breaking something by moving, when he can just lie there and not get hurt lol. But we have to keep working on it, it helps him get stronger everytime we work on it. He is really trying to eat regular food too, he is dropping most of it, or he likes to push it from side to side on his tray, but he is still mainly getting his nutrition from his formula so its okay if he doesn't eat much, and from what I hear about OI kids they have very small appetites. which will save me some money since I am sure Kai is going to eat us out of our house lol. Tonight we have respite care, we talked to the people who set it up and we have now gone from 2 nights a week to 1, and she will come at 11 instead of 12, which is nice. But Reiko has now pretty much slept through the night for 2 nights in a row! How awesome is that?! Good Job Reiko!!
I am plum out of ideas for anything else to post tonight and Sandy will be here soon for Reiko, so everyone have a good sleep. Take Care!
