Activity hangover

Rhonda called me and asked me to come home from Baylor today. She was feeling horrible. We realized that her two outings yesterday (Cody’s b-day party and the neurologist’s visit) wiped her out. We’re also realizing that we’re going to need more consistent help with Cody on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 8:30 and 3:30 (I’m coming home at 3:30 these days). If anyone knows of someone (e.g., a Baylor student, an older woman from our church, etc.) who could come over for two to three hours on those days, we’d be glad to know. Cody has also enjoyed playing with the neighbors or other young children during those times as well.

It's the end of the day now. Today, for the first time it felt like we took some steps back. After feeling like we were making small but consistent baby steps, the couple steps back were an unwelcome and jarring interuption. Rhonda spent most of the day in bed with a headache, weird nerve sensations and some other symptoms that had disappeared for quite a few days. Hoping and praying we don't have many of these.
