The first time wasn't as bad as yesturday, I felt like someone had ran me over multiple times, I was so sore and cold and felt horrible. I almost fainted before I ended up getting sick, I was alone at the time and had just gotten out of a bath, so yes I was alone and naked and was passing out at the toilet..it was horrible. But thankfully Kai was already at Oma's and Derek brought Reiko out there too, since he worked and I was in no condition to look after him ..let alone move. After fainting, I was scared to move without Derek around so I stayed on the couch til he got home and put me to bed. I haven't felt that awful in so long. I still have this awful cough and tightness in my chest, but I can handle this.
The one day that I didn't feel awful this week we had appointments in London for Reiko, first he had to get his RSV and 12 month shots but was unable to because he was also sick, so he was put on more puffers, and antibiotics, and we also had our photo's done by the Ronald McDonald House. Krista the photographer was amazing and did an excellent job. She was nice enough to edit them and send us the photo's! The Ronald McDonald Marketing team will pick out which pictures they like the best and use those in their ads across Canada for McHappy Day. I will post a few pictures, but there are sooo many to look at.
I have been following this story on facebook, a ladies family who lives about an hour or so away, her teenage son had cancer, and I was so sad to hear that he suddenly passed away the other day, its those moments that can't get out of my head, I picture the family, him, how they are feeling, and it sticks with me all day...I feel so awful for their family and I can only hope that they can find peace someday. They are a very religious family and I think it helped them deal with the situation. I am glad they have that to comfort them.
Today since I was feeling better I decided to bring Kai to the Matinee to see HOP, I tried taking him to Shrek last summer but that didn't work out at all, we had to leave after 15 minutes, but today he did great, he played around in the seats next to us, but sat down most of it. Then he had a sugar crash on the way home and slept for 2 hours lol. It was a good time for us both though. So at least now I know he can handle going to the movies.
Reiko has been using an exersaucer that my sister gave us, and he is doing great in it. It really stregthens his core muscles and he loves it! It is nice to see him upright like that and lets him work on putting some weight on his legs, although he still has a few inches to go before he can fully touch the bottom on the exersaucer even on the highest level lol...he is just so tiny. At his appt the other day we weighed him and he was 13lbs 7.5 oz, he cannot get above 14lbs! He has been stuck at 13lbs for like 5 months now lol. Reiko has been getting better though, he usually is super happy during the day and gets up alot at nights, but at least he is happy lol.
Ok here are some pictures. Enjoy!
