Thursday

Today we see a regular doctor and have our blood drawn locally. We will see how it goes. Riley will have to be poked with a needle for the first time in months, now that the picc was removed. It has been two weeks since the last CBC.

For no apparent reason he was up this morning before anyone else, even Tom. I heard Tom go by his room and call out Riley's name when he didn't see him in bed. Riley was already downstairs. He said he just felt like getting up early. But 6:00 am is pretty early. Last night we watched Lord of the rings. I had to be the heavy and shut off the second movie mid way because it was a school night. Tom had already headed up to bed, after putting the movie on. The boys need a good night sleep also, so I made them shut off the TV. Trevor needed a bath and Riley said he would take his in the morning, which he has.

Yesterday we picked up a refill of the magnesium and ordered more cyclosporine. The Doctor at Dornbechers has also prescribed a weekend antibiotic. Riley is to take it Saturdays and Sundays. It is a big pill so I will have to split it in half for Riley to swallow. Luckily it has a seem down the middle for easy splitting.

We are going to have breakfast and then hit the road. I thought we would go to the Library afterwards. I also got a call to go work for an hour and a half this afternoon. I asked Riley if he would mind. He was fine with it. It is a local school and I know everyone there.

Riley's teacher got called in to work Friday so we scheduled next week with an extra day of school. Riley is to memorize the Gettysburg address. I love that they are studying the civil war so they will be ready for our trip. I want to watch Gettysburg the movie again just so everyone knows the players.
