Wow I realize I haven't written in a while. Nothing really happens here except that James got double ear infection and pneumonia. He's still on antibiotic and has to have breathing treatments with a nebulizer up to 3 times a day. James didn't mind the treatments for the first couple of days, but now whenever he sees me get it ready he runs the opposite direction. Crying is actually good cause it expands the lungs and therefore more treatment gets in. As his mom I hate seeing him wiggle ans squirm in my arms to try to get out of reach. I literally have to put his legs between mine while using one arm across his chest so he can't reach up to take the mask away and with that same hand hold both of his hands down. The other hand is holding the mask to his face. I put put it on cause it looks uncomfortable, but keep it close so I can see the medicine get into his lungs. With him fighting the whole time putting the mask on his nose and mouth is the best I can do. Distraction used to work with a movie, but he's gotten to the point that it doesn't matter what's on he doesn't care. With him and Donny both trying to get over sickness I feel drained. I'm waiting for me one day to get it, but I have a very high immunity to any sickness. It takes a lot to get me down. With Donny being sick and going to work it makes me more appreciative of him. For him not to complain much or hardly at all and to do manual labor for almost 9 hours sometimes even longer is beyond me how anybody can do it. Kudos to him. Makes me wish I can hidden money somewhere so I can buy him something he really wants. Telling him "I appreciate it" doesn't do justice. As of right now he is currently in the kitchen singing Madonna "Hey Mr DJ" although he just informed me he has no idea who sings it. :) He makes me laugh.
On a side note. I just realized that James who is currently 18 months old still has not been to a park of any kind. There isn't one anywhere near us and I don't really want to go by myself. I could take him to the one in the mall, but I don't think of it until it's too late in the day. Plus all the toddlers we know are girls. I know nothing is wrong with that, but I would like him to have a guy friend that he can say that he grew up with him and that they are best friends. I can't and don't really want James to have that close of a relationship with a girl. Man I am thinking too deep and way too far ahead in his life.
James just woke up
