Day 109, May 3
Benjamin and Allyson woke up at the same time this morning, so they got to have breakfast together…pancakes!
Dr. Mueller wanted to check Ben’s ears again this morning, so we got ready and took him in to see her. They looked better to her, so the meds must be doing the trick. She was glad to see Ally because she hadn’t seen her in a very long time. Ally just wandered around the office, checking everybody and everything out!
Ally woke up feeling pretty well, so we decided to take the kids to Korean Children’s Day at the Korean Presbyterian Church. They had a great time running around and playing. The drums were VERY loud, and Allyson about jumped out of her skin. We had to go outside until that performance was over. Lesson learned, come late, after the into and all the loud hoopla. The noise didn’t seem to bother Benjamin. - We got to see our friends, the Kim’s though, and that was nice. Ayla is such a little cutie. Benjamin leaned right in and gave her a kiss. Yes, I know…a charmer already. (Of course, he wouldn’t do it again when I got the camera out.)
Allyson got tired all of the sudden and plopped down on the floor. She told me she was ready to go, so we put her in the stroller and packed up. She was whipped. The Korean church members always cook a FANTASTIC meal for lunch. They were kind enough to pack up two large “to go” boxes for us, so we were able to get our Korean food fix when we got home. It was awesome!
Ally had bags under her eyes the rest of the day. By night time, they were really bad. Both kids crashed around 7p.m. - The little boy across the street made his First Communion, and several of the kids were out playing basketball, right outside Ben’s window. He was not happy! He finally went to sleep though, thankfully.
So far, Allyson seems to be fairing pretty well. She gets tired easily. The Dex (the drug that makes her crazy) seems to be taking its toll. She is moody, but I guess she has the right to be at this point. - Yeah, she’ll be on this wonder drug for three straight weeks. Pray for all of us that we don’t all pull our hair out!
