Today we visited the babyhome again. Our little Buddha was still in the isolation room, but the cute nurse dressed him in his little outfit for me and we took him upstairs to the ‘big gym’. This place had squishy-foam play areas, and a play pen with a bunch of little balls.
I put him in with all the balls & he seemed to like it until he fell backwards and then wanted nothing to do with that horror again. We’d play with MegaBlocks, but then, like clockwork, he’d just start crying…I think he has good spells, then with a bit of action, his tummy hurts. So I hold the twenty-pounder & we’d walk around the place.
The piano seemed fun for like…30 seconds and since I can’t play a melody outside of ‘silent night’ (my concert piece when I was…maybe 7? 8yo?)…anyway, he wasn’t into it.
But he’ll stop when I’m walking around with him…or if he’s in a stroller. Then after 15 minutes or so, we’ll play more MegaBlocks and ‘ball’…he’d be fine for a while, then get all frustrated again. Is this a kid thing? Or is he not feeling well?
I am flashing on the 26+ hour trip home…sweet!
After the babyhome we made an exciting trip to the MEGAmarket! This place was the size of BJ’s, but all white inside. I bought some wine, some cheese, some Nivea soap & toilet paper. The coffee was ½ price, so I loaded up on that too.
The dollar is falling to the Tenge…we went from 194 to 117 per dollar on the exchange. The spread is 3 Tenge. What a great business to be in.
It’s 7:30 am over there on the east coast…almost about to wake up
My sauce? Glad you asked…delicious! I saved the plastic wrap from my cookie purchase a few days ago for the nurse to have with her tea during her visit, split it into two (70/30), covered a bowl with the remaining pasta and sauce with it…then filled the glass coffee jar I saved with the rest of the sauce. Ironically enough, the pasta filled a bowl perfectly, as did the sauce in the jar!
(little pleasures & conquests)
I think I understand why I’m a little tired lately…but not sleepy tired, just…not really social? Perhaps? Sleep is good…but although I’m not really “doing” much…simple tasks require a lot more resources than back home. Because I’m not depressed…I’m quite happy…and I don’t think I’m really ‘stressed’ in the conventional way…but little things that I take for granted back home, take planning, thought and just more effort!
I think about home a lot and everything & everyone I’m missing…
…so, there goes the energy.
Did you dream about me last night?

Is there anyway you can get a 2nd diagnosis on him? The way you describe how he acts...I dunno, it seems odd to me. His "stomach virus" could simply be worms. (Gross, I know, but easily fixed!)
Well, you hang in there, Mama bear!
not worms flip, he has a bacterial imbalance...and is allergic to wheat/grains.
I already questioned parasites.
Stas told me cory never even liked to be touched as a kid...he'd cry all the time. and how he is when he's calm...his actions are apparently normal. Partly, his personality, then he may sometimes not feel that good.
