I have share with you all that I get to see my mom & dad on Thanksgiving. Oh, and my sister, my niece, grandma, aunts and cousins. I can not wait to see them. It has been almost 5 months since I saw my mom & dad. That is a long time considering that I would see them at least once a week and my mom usually twice. Then, right before we left I lived with them. We are meeting them in Arizona. I have to say I am not looking forward to the drive. It will take us about 12 hours to get there. It take my parents about 10 hours. I am just so happy that we have the chance to spend the first holiday with family. I sure miss my family and can't wait to give them a big hug.
Let me tell what has been happening here. Jacob has been sick almost a week now. He started last Saturday with a fever & headache. He had a low fever for a couple of days. Well, then on Tuesday it peaked at 103.2. I was able to get it down that day. Then, on Wednesday it was up to 102.2. By then I had had enough, so I decided to take him in. Of course, I had to do Urgent Care. So, I take him to urgent care and they have to give him a breathing treatment. He was coughing pretty bad. I guess because of his asthma (which is all still new to us) he needs take his inhaler when he is coughing from a cold or flu. That is good to know. Well, then they take a chest X-ray to see if he has pneumonia. I am thinking great, what a horrible mother I am. Well, it turns out it was pneumonia, but instead he has bronchitis. Oh yeah. I must tell you now he is doing much better. He missed 3 days of school, but is back at it today. He needed to go back. :~) I am not looking forward and either is he to all he will have to make up. But, I am so happy he is feeling better. I really don't like to see my kids so sick. It was nice at the doctors because he would lean on me and let me hold him. That does not usually ever happen. I am lucky if I get a hug usually. So, the good side of all of it was that I realized even though he doesn't say or show that he loves me often, I sure do feel needed and loved when he is sick.
So, yesterday Ben & Megan has eye doctor appointments. I went with them because Ben said that I needed to go for Megan since I usually am there and know more of what is going on with her. Megan is getting new glasses again. And Ben has to now start wearing glasses when he is on the computer or reading. It was fun finding glasses for him & Megan. He tried on some that were interesting. We had some good laughs.
Well, I think that is all the exciting news from the Kemper house. We are just enjoying each other and taking it all day by day.
To all my family & friends I pray your Thanksgiving is full of love and thankfulness. May your day be blessed with family, fun and laughter. I miss you all! Happy Thanksgiving!!
