Sara is slowly recovering. She is still pretty emotional and wants Mom, claims she will miss me when its time to go to school and has cried many mornings. She missed 3 days the first week. The second week was a four day week and she made it for 2 whole days, went in late once, and came home early another day. This week so far she has survived 3 full days, and came home early yesterday. I ended up taking her back to the Pediatricians yesterday. The good news is her lymph nodes are not as enlarged, her spleen seems okay, her tonsils no longer are swollen with white spots. The bad news she has a new virus or cold. She is very congested and her throat hurts. Normally this wouldn't be so bad but her immune system is so weak after Mono.
Sara has only left the house for school, Drs visits, dinner out last Saturday and 2 trips to Target. I feel like we are all hibernating!
Poor Evan is getting the short end of the stick. We rush through his homework because Sara wants me to lie down with her as she falls asleep.. that's another story. She has been falling asleep with me and then either Marc or I carry her to bed. This weekend I need to end this! The other night I climbed in Evans bed to say goodnight and he said "Mom do you realize I'm Evan and you only do this with Sara" Poor kids has been abandoned!
Marc is out of town tonight.. Selfishly its so much easier to feed just the kids. I put a roast in the crock pot and I can make Sara acorn squash in the Instant Pot and Evan mashed potatoes and corn or peas and call it done. Marc usually comes home much later so I feel like the kitchen never gets cleaned up.
Next week I start with new students. I can't believe half of the year is over. Hopefully the second half goes by just as quickly. If only the summer would go slower! So far no plans yet.
Marcs sister is getting married and has asked Sara to be the flower girl. She still hasn't set a date but possibly next Easter or next summer. Hopefully we can turn it into a vacation at Myrtle Beach or one of the beaches surrounding Charleston.
Sorry to hear that Sara has been so sick. Hope she is feeling better soon. That's exciting she'll be a flower girl! I had hoped Nadia would be one at some point, but no dice on that. Hope your second half of your school year goes well!
