That is one of Allura's favorite expressions. She usually says it in a sarcastic way when really odd things are going on around here.
Bethany, who will be 17yo on Tuesday, was on the worship team at church this morning. So her dad took her over early for practice. Bethany shares a room with 2yo Trinity. It is an interesting, and often funny arrangement, which they both seem to enjoy. I went in to get Trinity out of her crib this morning, and she was sitting there with Bethany's wedge high heel shoes on her feet. Bethany must have considered wearing them today, and flung them on the floor close to Trinity's crib. When I picked Trinity, she managed to keep them on her feet. Too bad she couldn't walk in them.
During worship, Bethany is very good at looking at the congregation, and making eye contact, seeming very comfortable. When she looked over toward her dad and I today, I quickly made bunny ears behind Gene's head. She laughingly told me later she is ashamed to have parents like us! Bwahaha! Just a little payback for the many silly and embarrassing things she has done throughout the years. Parenting teens is sooo much fun!
Joshua, who also has a birthday on Tuesday, and will be 7yo, was snuggling with me earlier in the week. We were talking about his upcoming birthday, and he made a comment about himself having Down syndrome. When I told him he doesn't have Ds, his brother Topher does, he was confused. He thought we all have it! I realized Josh doesn't see his brother's differences, he sees him as being just like the rest of us. So precious to my heart!
Aaron had a episode of vomitting on Friday evening. It started at supper-time, and did not relent. We took him into the local hospital, where we took him last summer when he was sick. It is amazing how quickly the hospital can find your child a bed when he has a history of acute renal failure and cardiac arrest!
Shortly after the triage nurse saw him, they took us back to a hall bed, he had barely laid down when they began putting the B/P cuff on him, and the leads for the telemetry monitor. Sinus Rhythm has to be about one of the greatest sights to behold! They started an IV right away, gave him something to stop the vomitting, and ordered lab work.
They did swallow studies, which showed narrowing of his esophagus, which we already knew, and have another dilation scheduled. I think his esophagus continued to have the sensation of something being lodged after he vomitted out the offending food chunk.
They considered admitting him, but said if he could keep some liquids down, he could go home. Aaron piped up that he drank the "chalky stuff and kept that down, did that count?" It did, and they sent us out the door at 1:30am.
He seems perfectly fine again.
