Long Time Coming

I have to apologize for the lack of updates to the blog.  It's been a crazy couple of weeks and the mornings just don't afford me much of an opportunity to blog anymore.

Harrison's doing well.  He's growing like crazy.  We had to go to the doctor on Monday and he weighed 16 lbs and 13 oz.  He hadn't been feeling good all weekend so I took him in to get looked at.  Turns out he has a double ear infection.  This is the second ear infection he's had in 6 weeks time or so, so it looks like we're heading towards tubes.  Tubes are pretty common these days, so I'm not terribly worried about it, but I hate that he's going to have to go through anything like that.  We had really hoped and prayed that he wouldn't be sick like his mom and dad have been all their lives and while it looks like he been blessed to have avoided the major issues, he may still have to face the combined force of our allergies.

So it's now Friday.  I didn't have a chance to really finish the post until now.  Harrison's doing better but DeAnne is still struggling.  She's probably going to end up going to the doctor on Monday.  This past Wednesday we went up to Birmingham and met with a neurosurgeon about her back.  He wants her to do physical therapy and come back in six weeks.  I was pretty happy with that order but DeAnne seems to think that surgery would be an instant fix and was disappointed that he wasn't going to cut on her.  Crazy, I know.  You can't tell her anything sometimes.

No major plans for the weekend.  We're having another yard sale in Opp on Saturday but other than that, we're taking it pretty easy.  It's been a crazy couple of weeks for me at work and I need some down time.  Between work and all three of us being sick at different times, DeAnne and I are both pretty run down.  Hopefully next week we can recuperate some.

Have a good weekend.
