Much Improved

Jill is doing much better..still coughing & wheezing, especially when she sleeps, but the dr's have kept it under control with steroids (which make her hungry--GOOD--and moody--LAUGHABLE ... a 2 year old with a mood-control problem ... isn't that a given?). She is now yelling at Matt about something ridiculous while I take a very short computer break. He is going home tonight (I am now going on 48 hours here, but it's more hassle to go home & fight with a very tired 4 year old who has been at Disneyland all day...thanks Dina!) to get her to bed in time to get up at 6:30 so she can get to her RaceCar Driver's house at 7:15, so I can be back here at 8am. And making a lunch, and getting caught up in what a mess my house is (no thanks to Cousin Kevin, who arrived yesterday and hasn't done a darned thing....have fun at Disneyland, did ya, Kev? Hmm? Hmm? I'm KIDDING! I just hope you're prepared for how dirty our bathrooms are Buster Brown.)

Okay, so Lise is coming tomorrow (barring surprise illness) to stay a while with the "J" Bird so Matt & I can go out to dinner (with a gift card from Rebecca & Johnny). Matt will spend the night with Jill due to her coughing fits, and I will take Anna to ballet in the morning & do last minute touches for her bday party on Sunday. It's gonna be so great (thanks to 20 or so very wonderful friends that are pulling it off FOR me....I'm so excited!).

Thanks for all of your phone calls & notes, & emails, & gifts & donations & prayers. We are doing okay. Can't believe Christmas is just a few weeks away.

Yes, the holidays are here- amazing. And your little family seems to be managing like any typical family with an excited birthday girl and a coughing baby. Also amazing.

Thanks again for the blog updates- i love that you keep all of us in the loop...this touches so many lives.

And I love that Matt is at work, still super-cool and pleasant- making his witty remarks!

Have a great weekend as Anna celebrates her birthday and Jilli continues to get better and better!

We love you- all of us!!
