Other than that, I am thankful to report that it has been a fairly uneventful week out here on the frozen tundra. We have continued along with our manual chest PT regimen, and have another two weeks or so remaining before the repeat chest X-ray. We are just fervently hoping that Lemon does not catch something else in the mean time. The viruses are flying fast and furious in Wisconsin at the moment, so much so that the children's hospital took the precaution of banning all visitors under the age of 12 from the inpatient floors. Not exactly a comforting feeling. But, the kids still have to go to school and such so we just try to emphasize good hygiene and hope for the best. Well, that and I handed Lemon's teacher a giant 4-pack of sanitizing wipes this morning before school. We'll refer to that as active hoping.
I'm feeling good that January is almost over, so only another couple of months of winter to go. Amazingly, of course, that means the complex coordination of summer plans has already begun, complete with signing up for camp, planning of vacations, etc. Hard to believe that in less than 6 months we will be back on the beach, and Lime will turn 5. Things do seem to move right along!
