Bumpy Day

 Yesterday was one of those days. The days you have a bunch of plans but then God says "nope, today isn't going like that".  My house cleaning/organizing list was made, we got to bed early, then early Saturday morning it was clear the list would need to wait and a certain young man would need some extra attention instead.  We were moving from highs in the 80s to over 100 which triggered Junior's AD and kept things quite interesting.  He was very tired and his congestion and heart rate were a tad high, okay more than a tad but you get the idea.  Black and white tv shows, weighted blankets, extra meds, and respiratory treatments were the business of the day. Life at our house is never boring.  Late last night things were calming down but he was having troubling clearing out all that mucous so I did a quick trach change.  So thankful that worked and he was then able to relax and sleep.  As quickly as things can go south they often just as quickly turn around.  Today he is still snoozing(totally expected after yesterday) but his numbers are perfect and he is totally back to baseline.  I think sometimes these days are thrown in to remind me how blessed we are to have that trach and to be oh so thankful for the good days/moments.  Life is truly a gift even those tough days have their blessings, God is good.  

A few fun pics.  Yonder the mail pup doing one of his very favorite jobs for his boy.  Yes that is junk mail from IKEA but Junior loves IKEA so.....   Not sure what was on tv that got both there attention but did make me laugh when I saw the pic.
