An Update, The Short Version

by Alison on December 31, 2009

To say the last few days have been hard is an understatement. To say that I’m doing ok seems generic. It is true though, I’m doing ok. A lot has gone through my mind, a lot has gone through my body, and I am still processing everything, both mentally and physically. The short version (at [...]

Multitude Monday 151-175

by Alison on December 29, 2009

 151. the loving embrace of a husband sharing a moment of grief 152. the assurance that “He heals the broken in heart, he bindeth up their wounds” 153. Hershey Kisses to share with my children 154. ‘smooth dark chocolate with real coffee’ to share with my husband 155. time to myself to think 156. time [...]

A Sad Weekend

by Alison on December 27, 2009

It’s been a sad holiday weekend here. After some spotting and then more bleeding, it was confirmed yesterday that I am in the process of miscarrying. I have a heavy heart, but I do know that “He heals the broken in heart, he bindeth up their wounds” Psalm 147:3. It’s going to be ok, we’re [...]

As long as the asthma’s flaring up, why not make it interesting and throw in a little croup? That’s what the triage nurse thinks is happening here, after describing, and yes, imitating the sounds that I was hearing through the stethoscope placed on Dazzle’s back this morning. While she does have some typical squeaks and [...]

She started coughing the cough of another asthma flare-up. It began mild and infrequent, yet she got a neb treatment with albuterol, rather [...]

When 9 Degrees Feels Pretty Good

by Alison on December 17, 2009

Yesterday’s high was supposed to be 3 degrees. At least they meant 3 degrees above zero, it’s rare, but we do get some of those days when the temperature never does make it up to zero… I don’t know what it actually got to, but any low single digit is just cold, and today’s 9 [...]

Multitude Monday 101-150

by Alison on December 15, 2009

101. freshly fallen snow 102. a husband safely arriving at work on a slick-roads kind of day 103. time to make cookies 104. the aroma of cookies baking 105. the taste and feel of a warm freshly-baked cookie 106. eating all of the duds right away 107. another cup of coffee to wash another cookie [...]

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Winter

by Alison on December 12, 2009

It’s about time. Really. I mean, I’m not even a fan of winter, oh yes, it’s pretty and all, I’d even say beautiful right after a snowfall, but I don’t like being cold, not one little bit. Ever since that time, way back when, that I spun across 3 lanes of 35W in freezing rain, [...]
