Relaxing

One who would think that with having a week off I would be able to blog, but I haven't felt the need.  I keep moving "blog" along on the daily list.

Toby is doing well.  Really he has done very well since right after the surgery.  He was on tylenol and ibuprofen every three hours for about three days, but now he is down to taking it as needed.  He isn't complaining of pain, although he is unable to stick his tongue out very far, which makes his talk very funny, which makes me worried because that was the whole reason we had the surgery done.  I'm assuming it is just swollen and painful and that he will be able to move his tongue again soon.  His breath is horrific which is a side effect of the surgery, but it is really really horrific.  It fills the car.  I have a hard time being near him for any length of time.  We are brushing his teeth about five times a day and it just brings about 3 seconds of relief.  I'm also wondering if he has thrush (can be another side effect) because his tongue is completely white.  We'll watch and see.  He's been playing for many hours on the ipad and computer.  He has at least completed all of his missed school work and done a few things around the house, but for the most part, he's  living his dream life.

Amelia went with a friend to Chuck E. Cheese yesterday for about 3 hours.  She had a great time and I was happy she was able to get out of the house.

I've been sleeping a lot, working on getting things set up for the school year next year, and doing all the dishes and laundry, which Lucy normally does!

According to the reports we are getting from the tour, Lucy is having a great time.  Yesterday she met her great great great aunt Myra Jane who lives in the Lancaster area and she played at the nursing home where her great great cousin (not sure what relation exactly) lives and she was able to meet her.  Lucy loves meeting family members and anything to do with her family history, so I'm sure this was exciting.

We are off to Boston today to spend time with Sam's family.  Tomorrow Amelia and I are having dinner at the American Girl store and getting the doll's ears pierced and hair done.  Thursday we'll head to the school to get some work done and pick up Lucy.
