This allergy season has to be the worst I’ve experienced. My head is in a fog. My sinuses are completely stuffed, my ears are clogged, my throat is raw and my forehead throbs. This has been my continual state of being for 7 days now. After the first hour of church this morning I had […]

Seasonal sinus infection with a vengeance
0True to form, I’ve been afflicted with my usual first-of-the-pollen-season sinus infection, and it’s a doozie. I can’t breathe or hear very well, and that has led to not being able to sleep, despite medication. Ugh. All the plants started blooming here a week or so ago and with some typically windy days this time […]
Dominic gets a hair cut
0Dominic and I enjoy excursions to the barbershop, much like I used to do with my dad. It’s the whole male bonding thing and only works when the barber uses the hot shaving cream and straight razor blade to trim around your ears and neck. Of course they don’t do that for little kids like […]

Eliana’s first cheerleading performance
0Ellie was so thrilled a couple weeks ago when she received notice in school that she could go to a couple hour cheerleading clinic at Coronado High School, learn from the high school cheerleaders, and then perform during halftime at the school’s men’s basketball game on Jan. 18. She got a Coronado HS t-shirt and […]
Dominic on the road to recovery
0Dominic saw Dr. Stewart, the pediatric orthopedic surgeon, today. Dr. Stewart was very pleased with what he saw. He said the x-ray shows Dominic’s femur is at about 85% of normal. He checked out flexibility and mobility, along with comparing the length of both femurs and said everything checks out just dandy. Dominic is still […]
