CLING……ING……TO……LIFE……
Still not well, but one of us is on the up and up. I finally broke down and took Chloe to the doctor yesterday, she was getting increasingly worse over 7 days and not better, so I wanted to make sure we could get to the bottom of it, especially when she woke up sounding like a baby seal was trapped in her chest and one nostril was completely closed off by a veil of green boogers….YUM! She does have some sort of sinus issue causing massive congestion, head pressure and chest funk, slightly swollen throat, but thankfully no virus or ear infection….yet…and hopefully not at all. She is doing SOOOO much better today and even feels like playing and crawling around rather than staring out the window like a savant. It is great to see her smile and babble again, I missed her little sunshiny personality.
My mom is my hero, she happened to be in town to watch my brother’s children but stayed the last two nights with us so she could get up with Chloe and take care of her during the night so I could take my HEAVY, coma inducing, back pain meds and actually sleep through the night. What would we do without moms? Thanks Dawn Louise, I love you!!! I feel like a million bucks energy-wise…seriously I feel like I could lift the house up from the foundation and dust under it. It is amazing what sleep can do…however, I am still in massive pain and do not have a clue what to do about it. I already went to the chiropractor and that helped some…but I am no better off today than I was 6 days ago. I don’t want to go to an MD because they will just give me medicine, which I already have. I just keep nursing it, not lifting much (except my 20lb baby!) and heating it on and off. I am SOOOOOO looking forward to a 12 hour drive in the car….CRINGE.
Today I thought I would go postal if I didn’t do something for myself to feel “normal” again. I won 88 fabulous Amy Butler squares on Ebay for $13.00 and I am in love!!!! She is my total fabric design crush, I love her. So I sat for an hour while Chloe slept and pumped out this great lumbar pillow for my fun orange wingback. I made the brown button out of polymer clay. I love it and I feel so happy looking at that chair. Have a looksee….
lean in closer
even closer still
Ain’t she a beauty….I have 73 more little squares I need to think up something to do with. Anywho….blogging will be patchy over the next 1.5 weeks as I will be out of town…stay faithful…don’t leave me…be monogamous, I promise to get back on track with plenty of Chloe pictures soon…..pinky swear.
love it. LOVE it. if only i had your sewing talent - it is tres impressive. glad to hear Chloe’s on the mend…let’s get you there too! Sleep is a wonder drug, that’s for sure.
I always keep going to the chiropractor every 2-3 days and I also do ice massages. Freeze water in a Dixie cup and cut away the cup. Make your hubby massage where it’s inflamed 2 times/day. Hope you feel better soon.
Love it, Kel! It totally fits your style. I’ll be thinking and praying for your back on the nice drive to NY.
great fabric… i can see why you like her. i’m happy to hear chloe’s feeling so much better. i LOVE the coma-inducing drugs! i have some of my own for my back/migraines as well. i hope you can find some relief for your back - i know your back problems are pretty complex. i’ll be praying for all of you! have a fun time in ny!
Aunt Carol would be proud
oh man. that pillow is fantasticcccccccccc. make me one with the other 73 squares? i mean, what!?
So sorry to hear Chloe is sick!! Have a sick baby sucks because you feel so helpless as a parent…. Avi was sick too - he had a high fever since Thursday, it maxed out at 103 and broke yesterday — today he has a rash so we are assuming it’s Rosela… FUN!
Have a good time in NY and can’t wait to see Chloe pics when you get back!
I’m lovin’ the orange! It makes me happy, too! You and Chloe get back to 100%!!
