(Shelley had the post below all typed up and read to go, but evidently I was supposed to read it and hit submit.... OK submit)
Well its back to work and all is going well. Nathan and Justin spent Tuesday with Grandma and Grandpa Miller while Carter was at school. Tuesday evening was spent at the soccer field and playground until high winds and rain chased us home. Nathan had his first soccer game and although he didn't score any goals he was a great assistant and digger. His running isn't the same as it used to be but we are hoping that will change once treatment is done.
Today felt great to be able to take Nathan and Carter to school. Grandma Elsie was here with Justin and picked the boys up after school. They were able to stay for lunch today as their classes were busing to another school to watch a play. As much as I wanted to wrap Nathan in bubble wrap, he had fun going with his class. His teacher is wonderful and made sure he carried his hand sanitizer with him.
This evening was fairly relaxing until Justin decided to jump on the bed in the basement, fell off and hit his head on a dresser. He was alert and cried instantly, walking to the base of the stairs by the time I got there. He had a big squishy goose egg almost instantly, the skin was ready to burst but held tight to the blood beneath it so thankfully no need for stitches. We iced Justin with a bag of peas for about half an hour, Arron called our family health line first (sister-in-law Lesa) and after some more crying I called the Sask health line just to make sure we didn't need to take him in. Justin showed no other signs of a concussion and had a great evening after that but to be safe we will wake him every couple of hours. Why is it that it is always the hard way that they learn. As he said quite a few times tonight, "no more jumping on the bed".
Carter and Nathan do not have school the remainder of the week so will get to spend some time at home. I will work tomorrow and spend Friday at home. Looking forward to it.
