A better day today...



Today is a better day. Yesterday was rough. By about 10:30 yesterday I could tell I needed to get Darell into an eye doctor. He has shingles in his eye and he looked miserable. He kept saying he was fine but I think he was just saying it. So I got on the phone to find someone who would get him in yesterday. Luckily I got lucky on my first call. The doctor's office told me to get him there by 11:30. I had an hour to get us there including the 20 minutes it would take to get there. As I showered I wondered how I was going to get Darell to the doctor, David to Clifford and the birthday party by 1:00. David had been talking about both activities for 3 days so I couldn't take that away from him. So I called my mom and Jack to help. They were out and about when I call but they met us at the eye doctor. Jack took care of Darell at the doctor and getting him home while my mom and I took David to see Clifford. David had fun at the children's book store. I want to go back without him so I can look better sometime. The 3 of us then hit the Golden Arches for lunch and off to the birthday party. By then Darell was done at the doctor. Jack drove him to the pharmacy and home. Jack then met up with my mom at the birthday party and they continued on their day. They really saved me. Well David had fun at the Super Jump birthday party for Zach. Of coarse he waited till the last 10 minutes to climb the giant slide and go down which he loved and kept saying again, again. Next time maybe he won't wait so long. When we headed home David and I got daddy's medicines for his eye. Darell was pretty wiped out. His eye was sore and he just wanted to keep his eyes closed.

Today Darell still looks rough but you can tell he feels better. He has some humor today and is playing with David, something he hasn't done in 3 days. David has missed playing with Daddy.

David and I went to church to give daddy quiet time. It is going to be a busy week so I am hoping his stress levels are better today so his shingles will chill out. Well I suppose the drugs help to. I bet Darell's eyes will stay open for the Super Bowl this afternoon. LOL

I'm so glad it all worked out and that David didn't miss the party.

Glad Darell got some time alone on Sunday, too, to de-stress and relax.

You're right...LOL about keeping his eyes open during the Super Bowl. :-) Ha ha.

I think the relazation did him good. His spots were better and his eye was being to feel better.
