my car is all better

It's been a month since the lady hit my car. I got it last night, and it's all fixed and pretty again! My friend Josh did it all for me, and it was less than half of the insurance money I got. (so I can use the rest for bills and drs coming up). That's a huge help! I'm so thankful he wanted to fix everything, and for less than anyone else would be able to. While he was working on my car, I've had his truck for the last 3 weeks, which Aaron absolutely loved! He could see everything while we drove. Last night when I picked Aaron up in my car from my mom's house he just shook his head and said 'no mama'. I think he was waiting for Josh's truck before he would agree to go home. It was cute.

Short update- kind of..

So much has been going on lately, but I still don't feel comfortable talking about any of it. As soon as I do, you guys will be the first to read...

Aaron was really sick again this week. It was a stressful week full of minor emergency visits, and part of Thursday night in the emergency room at the hospital. His breathing was not really good, and had been wheezing and coughing horribly. He has bronchitis again :( Despite my attempts at giving him his breathing treatments at home- they weren't seeming to help at all. Thankfully at the hospital they gave him a stronger dosage of the medicine for his breathing that helped a lot! Today was the first day he started to smile and act more like himself. I'm soooooo thankful he is getting better! Nothing makes me feel more helpless as a mother than when Aaron gets so sick. I hate not being able to make him better just by holding and kissing him.

I guess I'm bored too, thanks Sarah for giving me something to do!
