This has been a really long week. I have not felt well. I thought it was just allergies and maybe it was at first, but it is now a full blown chest cold. So far, no one else in the house has gotten it, but everyone is passing it around at work.

Eliza had a difficult day yesterday. She was born without a thyroid and has to go to the pediatric endocrinologist every 2 months to have her blood levels checked. She takes a replacement thyroid hormone and the levels are critical to her well being. They usually do a great job drawing her blood and getting it over as quickly as possible. However, there was a new nurse or tech doing it, who tortured the poor baby by missing the vein multiple times and then, since she was SOOOO very mad after that, had to get a second nurse to hold her down. Trey said she was crying so hard she was blue and that it was absolute torture for him too. I felt so bad I wasn't there but I probably would have cried. One thing is for sure, if that same woman comes in the next time, we will be asking for someone else. Trey said he sat in the exam room for a good 5 minutes to try and calm both of them down before leaving. Then to top off the day o fun, Trey couldn't get out of the parking lot because he didn't have cash or a check. When he went inside to get money out of the ATM, his PIN number didn't work because it was a new check card. Bank of America wouldn't give him his PIN over the phone! Really??!!! They have your social security number AND your bank account number but they can't give you your PIN? So Trey had to go back to the parking lot teller and explain and he finally let him out of the deck. What a day!

Tomorrow is Friday finally. We are having dinner with Cami and Josh at the Melting Pot just for fun, no special occasion. We planned this months ago and have been saving up since it will cost at least a big toe. We are looking forward to a nice dinner with great company and no kids.
