prednisone, a goodbye party

Goodbye Prednisone Goodbye.
Goobye 5, 10, and 20 (mg tablets)
Goodbye pill cutter and powdery mess
Medicines to take- one less

Goodbye hyper-vigilance
Goodbye multiple hospital visits

Goodbye sensitive immune system
Goodbye broken bones- we wont miss them

Goodbye rapid changes
less worries in public places
Goobye sleepy boy and worried faces

Goodbye backward jumps and baby steps
Goobye rigid schedules and endless stress

Hello strong body
Hello fun
Hello health
Hello sun

Hello to dreams come true
Hello to a healthier you

The Hand of Hashem

Yossi woke up early today (well 7 a.m. is early for him) and got to school at a decent time.
When i pulled up at the school building there was a parking space right in front.
Then i went to the gas station- got a full tank for $35.00 (happy dance!)
Since it was so early i stopped at 770 to daven - incidentally its Rosh Chodesh too!
Its so great to recognize the small things that Hashem does for us!
Its so nice to daven with a heart full of gratitude.
Freshly inspired by the mornings events
Asking for the rest of the day to be just as incredible in a revealed way.

just a regular kid

We always try to treat Yossi like a regular kid. We try to live as normal of a life as possible. Well last week i got my wish- Yossi was home sick  for multiple days with strep and a bacterial infection. oh the irony of it: dealing with seizures and medications and complicated issues on a daily basis and being completely at a loss when it comes to a minor illness! the joy (insert eye roll here) of having your child home sick AFTER a 2 week school holiday, and trying to work with a bored child at your feet. i'll take strep over seizures any day but boy am i glad he is back in school!!
