Back to Normal

Well we completed day #1 of my husband back to work. Thats day 1 of me being at home with the baby alone, and the first time since ohh September since Ive been left alone. I somewhat forgot what its like to be "normal". Elliot and I did fine yesterday, nothing fun to report. Its just odd going that long with having constant supervision to finally a day of being left alone. I was glad to have my husband home once he got off work. Elliot and I went back to our stay at home routine. Breakfast with the hubby, playtime, nap time etc. Eric comes home for lunch, so Im never left alone that long. Its a blessing that he works 5 minutes or so away so that he can see me at lunch. It eases his mind a bit being able to check in on me. Im still at risk for seizures, but at this point I will be for the rest of my life. So him being able to check up on me is a bit perk.

My mom came over last night to visit and see the baby. I always enjoy getting visits from my parents. The house is on their way home from work, so time to time they drop in. Its a bright spot in my day. I dont drive so getting to see other adults is a nice change of pace. Little man has decided to somewhat become mobile by rolling everywhere. Mom got a good laugh at him attempting to crawl, then just rolling to where he wanted to go. Funny little man. At this rate I doubt he crawls and just keeps on rolling. Hes really doing quite well.

Tomorrows the big day! Lab work, MRI, Pet scan day! Also the day I become radioactive for approx. 24 hours. Tough 24 hours it will be. I wont be able to hold Elliot for that time. They dont want to run the risk of me hurting him with my radioactive-ness. (not sure thats a word). I get the joy of staying a couch distance away from him. Im not harmful to older children or adults. There just isnt enough evidence on small babies on what that will do to them, so they have me stay away until its out of my system. My sister got me a shirt that says "Caution Radioactive!" on it. Ill have to sport that tomorrow. We wont know the results unitl next week. But, Im still feeling pain when I breathe so that cant be a good sign. The PET scan will show any cancer in my body, along with if the stuff in my lungs has grown. Im really interested to see the results of that test more than anything at this point. Other than the breathing thing Im doing okay. I have some pretty good energy, but still get tired easily compared to a healthy person. 5 minutes on the treadmill at 2 mph is all I can manage. After that I need a nap or to rest a while. It about drained me yesterday just doing that. All said though its improvement from the past few weeks, so Ill take it!

Now for your viewing pleasure...... Elliot made a mess last night with his dinner. First time after a meal that we had to have a bath. Beans EVEYWHERE!!! He had a blast.  (yes beans and cherrios for dinner before his bottle. Not the best combo but he loved it)
