I’m thrilled. I had been preparing myself for a battle with Children’s Hospital to get its anesthesia policy changed so that Jude isn’t traumatized while being held down and stabbed with an IV every 4 months for MRIs, but it turns out that no battle will be necessary. I just have to schedule his appointments …

Big Day
Today was somewhat of a big day. First, Jude had his neuropsychological evaluation this morning. The Ph.D. (who is the same guy who tested him a year ago) said that Jude did not perform nearly as well as last year. Jude kept complaining of fatigue. In the memory section, Jude would always answer that he remembered nothing. …
School’s in Session
Tomorrow Jude officially starts kindergarten. This would normally be a big day for the parents and kindergartener, but it won’t be for us. We won’t be sending Jude to a brick and mortar school, although I know he’d love it. Instead, we’ll be schooling him at home, as we’ve always done.  Jude’s been doing kindergarten activities …

It’s a Corneal Abrasion
While I was quarantined at home with Jude today, Andy was anywhere but home — first at church and then at the Minnesota State Fair with his brother, future sister-in-law and little Levi. Levi loved getting some good attention and especially enjoyed the bumper boats and the John Deer tractor trike. Jude’s eyes were not getting …

Suspected Whooping Cough and an Eye Infection to Boot
Jude was feeling better yesterday so I let the boys go outside to play in the sandbox in the backyard. It wasn’t long before Jude managed to get a bunch of sand in his eyes. His eyes were almost swollen shut this morning. The poor kid can’t catch a break. But, I do have my …

Whopping Cough?
It was such a rough night last night so I decided Jude had to get to the doctor today.  Andy wasn’t going to take him while I was at work since his strategy that keeps him sane (but the boys cooped up) is to never leave the house outnumbered by little boys.  I’m so glad I brought …
