Home Again.....

JT was told grab his things, antibiotics and IV pump and hit the road. We're back home....and James and Jack are already pretend fighting in the living room. Ah, click your heels and repeat after me..."there's no place like home...there's no place like home". Ugh.

The new IV unit is pretty cool. It holds 48 hours worth of meds and pumps them automatically over the course of an hour every six hours. The downside, he need to carry the unit around in a sling-style pack (it's about the size of two video cassettes - I know, what's a video cassette, right? If you're too young to know, then look it up, or better put....Wikipedia or Google it). But I think after a few days he's going to be okay with it. He'll need to have these meds for 4 weeks. We're all crossing our fingers that this will knock the bugs out for good.

On a lighter note, for being such a good sport he was able to get a new game for his Nintendo DS. We went to Game Stop and picked up some sort of Cars racing game - Understand that this gaming thing is a new, foreign world to me. Well, twasn't twenty minutes later he lost the whole kit and caboodle after acting up. I think he set a new Taylor record for fastest toy put in "time out". The poor boy never even got it home. Tomorrow's a new day, though, and hopefully he'll enjoy his new game.

We'll be taking the next three days off to heal, rest, hang with some old friends travelling north, enjoy a MCCP picnic and go to a Taylor family reunion. Hope to post some good pics here next week.

Till then, take care and enjoy your weekend everyone...
