A New Year, A New Bed and A New Attitude

Happy New Year Everyone!!

There are many resolutions that I want to make, but one of them is to update more often. That way I won't bombard you with a lengthy, long winded, description of our life, full of pictures.

(Don't look to last January, I might have said the same thing)

Our New Years was pretty uneventful considering that we were all in bed for the New Year to begin. We had a little gathering with Nick and Chris, Matt and Lucy, and Grandma and Grandpa ( all family). For Jonas' sake we left early. On our way home I started to feel so yucky! I had the chills, achy, was just sick to my stomach and later that night had a fever. Great! What a way to start 2010.
Luckily I felt somewhat better in the morning. Whit did take the day off because I felt so weak, I don't know what I would have done with Jonas all day. The next day I felt even better and by Sunday I was back to normal. Weird, random sickness...whatever it was.

Jonas, Whit and best bud Will ( I guess you might say 2nd cousin???)
hanging out New Years Eve. He liked Jonas' "Darth Vader" mask...he thought it was "cool".

Old Bed

New Bed

Jonas is now in a regular bed. I couldn't stand not being able to sit on his bed with him or lie down with him because of his toddler bed. We also needed to raise him up higher so that we could do his treatments standing instead of kneeling. It's not quite high enough, but I'm not sure I want it any higher...he'll be in the ceiling. As you can tell, We're still decorating and figuring out a new setup for things. It's a fight inside of me of what I want and what is the best for Jonas. Looks vs. Functionality. One thing I refuse to do is have his room look like a hospital. I just don't like that.

My Happy Boy, Whom I've Missed!!!

I think that whatever sickness I had over New Years has been plaguing Jonas for sometime. When we look back and put two and two together, we've come to the realization that he could have been feeling yucky and down for the whole month of December. The only sign that we could think of was when any time we would move him he would just cry. Sitting up was pretty much non-existent and baths started to not be enjoyable. In the back of my mind, I thought that maybe his joy of life is gone and he is fading away. His use of bi-pap was pretty much 24/7.
As you can tell by his lovely smile... I think he is back!! Which just makes my heart soar. He has been happy, talking, enjoying baths, etc. Bi-pap breaks have been so much more successful and to top it all off... he didn't cry in PT today!! She came and he tolerated it the best I've ever seen. Of course there were tears when we did some hard moves, but who wouldn't.
Yeah for 2010!!

If I could I would be putting these two in a head lock and body slamming them.. this is as close as I can get. Love them!!!
