I think we are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. When Sara was diagnosed with mono. I truly thought she will be tired for a few weeks and she will be back to normal. I never imagined the number of Dr. Appointment and stress is would create for the entire family. We have been to neurologists, had sleep deprived EEG, MRI, a visit to the ER, 2 different eye exams, and count less visits to our Peds. I had slept with Sara or on her floor from the first week of January until last Sunday. She stated out very anxious and needy, then had vision issues Mycropisia (which isn't quite gone yet), 6 days of a high fever and she wasn't herself. We are finally seeing happy, sassy Sara again. There have been many times in the past 3 weeks when Marc and I have looked at one another and said "She's back".
Poor Evan has been a trooper. Last night I told him I miss him coming into Sara's room to cuddle me at tonight. He has played way to many video games as a result of her mono. Last week we picked up a basketball hoop for the kids. We went to Dick's and ran into a former student and she gave us her discount! April was a month of many expensive purchases including a new dishwasher and a new laptop. Sara had Daddy Daughter dance on Friday and will make her first Communion this Saturday. Evan and I went to the Avengers movie on Friday and it was not my favorite movie. Very long, non-stop fighting and just not my type of movie. Evan said it was ok just way to long.
We have been running around for Track the past two weeks. The kids had 2 track meets this weekend. They each received ribbons but it was in the 30's for both meets and very cold. Our weekend was filled with play dates. Play dates have become so easy. We have passed the stage that they need me or that they argue. Hopefully it stays that way.
