Still Working

The Gentle Giant went to work AGAIN today!  His supervisor left before he got there, so all Martin did was help around in the shop and bide his time. The students were glad to see him, but he had a really hard time with fatigue and breathing. We don't know what is going to happen now. If we can hang on, there are only 2  more weeks of school left, and he will have the summer off.  If we are successful in getting workers comp, it won't matter anyway. I have finally gotten to the point of acceptance. I accept the fact that although we may not have the good income we are used to, we will still be okay, and it will be a new facet in our lives. Things do change, and that is why you must be prepared for anything. I certainly never thought that we would be in this position, but we are and now we must make the best of it. By the way, that organism that got in Martin's lungs is NOT tuberculosis, and although it is very serious, it is dormant and at this time, we need take no action. There is no evidence of damage on X-ray film, so our doctor is pleased that we don't have to address this issue right now.
Little  Joe is clinging to me. He is feeling better, but he only wants to be in my arms, or his daddy's, mommie's or PaPa's. I hope to fix this, as he is getting to be a healthly little chunk, and he wants to jump and bounce when you hold him.  He screams if we put him in the playpen, but if I ignore him for a moment or two, he notices his toys and begins to entertain himself.  Problem is that if he sees me, he goes off again. It will get better, I mean really, haven't I already done this multiple times? I am so grateful for this blog, it helps me put things into perspective. I was thinking that when I blogged about Bobbie Jo, I only got to enter 72 entries before she died. I am well over 120 on this one since Martin got sick, and that in itself is such a blessing. I hope to have many, many more entries on his behalf. There is so much life to live!
