Play time

I was watching my children play today and started to laugh. Some things in our life have just become so normal that when I take a step back I realize other children don't do this. The girls were playing. Meg was the mom. Leah and Ashley were sick and getting IV's. The "mom" was hooking up IV's and giving meds. The girls had the tubes taped to their arms, gauze taped to their upper arms to catch the saline/water that came out of their syringes. This all seemed fine and normal to them (which is good because it is our "normal")

Steve and Brooke went to clinic today. All was well. She is getting over her infection and being the normal little Brooke. Next week is checking T cells again and we hope they are still going up. With Brooke in the hospital last week I didn't work, so this week I've been trying to make up for lost time. In the mean time Steve has been doing more tube feedings, IV's and meds. I take for granted that I am a nurse. Many of these things just come somewhat naturally because it's what I've done for 13 years. What comes naturally to Steve is driving tractors and combines. So I have kind of put alot on his shoulders making him become a nurse. He does such a great job with Brooke and all her care. I just PRAY he doesn't ask me to drive a big ole tractor! It WILL NOT be pretty!
