Todd labs came out pretty good. He was on the board line but still within "normal". Todd is for the most part feeling pretty good. He has spells here and there but otherwise he is just weak.
We met with his specialist today and he said that Todd could start going back to work part time next week and full time if tolerated the following week. However, Todd wants to go into work tomorrow for a couple of hours... Life at home with two fussy kids can be more stressful and exhausting than work at times :) I'm fine with him going into work for a couple of hours tomorrow. My only worry is that when he has one of his spells he is not well enough to drive. So tomorrow morning as long as he is feeling good and he promises to call me if he needs a ride home he will be at Jeyes, Inc. in the morning sorting through thousands of emails :)
I was hoping that Brooklynn would snap right back now that I'm home but she is still struggling. All normal behavior for a child in her situation - under stress - With a new baby, Todd sick and me being gone so much she has started to have tantrums when she does not get her way and has regressed on potty training. I continue to try to give her extra love but not give in or treat her like a "poor baby".
Funny story on the potty training regression.... Since she was starting to have accidents I resorted to using candy (jelly bellies or hot ones as she calls them) as a bribe to get her to want to use the potty all the time. On Monday she went "tinkles" in the potty and I said "oh honey you did not go very much" she started to request "hot ones" a few seconds after she got the candy she said potty again and she went more. I then said "Brooklynn you need to empty your bladder all the way went you go potty" she replied "no mommy I only go a little dis way I get mo candy". I am in for so much trouble when she gets older.
