Warning Rage Follows:

So Jay is up all night coughing, when dropped off the lady said here is a breathing machine thing only give it to him if he needs it for RSV. The lady before was a little overprotective and stuff. -So he was fine and we did nothing until last night the breathing treatment helped but he wouldnt sleep. then after a few hours the cough returned so we gave him another treatment. ...then this morning he was coughin uncontrolably againg SO we thougth we better give him another but decided to found out more about the medicine first to make sure it was ok to give him another...

IT WASNT! and its a steroid for asma! Web site said that it should be given everyday to prevent this not to fix it. And the cough is a supposed to happen to help him break stuff up!

Because we are temporary we dont have all the paper work on him so we just went by what they said! Ooooooooo I wish they would make up their minds already! So we are taking to the doc today to find out for sure what we are supposed to be doing and whats the best thing for Jay.

I think being sensitive has negative and positive aspects.
Being sensitive to others feelings and concerns is positive. Benig sensitive to self is negative.

Who likes walking on eggshells around people? Grandpa (when he was alive) taught me to ride horses. When a horse would get his ears up and focused on some moving peice of grass, he would call that "hunting boogers". He taught me to look out for the horse so the horse didnt have to worry about himself cause a horse will tend to look for things to go wrong, or look for trouble. He said this applied to poeple too. Some people just naturally looked for things to go wrong and it was up to those around them to look out for them until they grew out of it and learned to trust.

I think about what Grandpa taught me alot not becuase I am ever too sensitive but because I am sometimes calus and dont look out for others feelings enough.

The weekend went well. He loved his first day at church and cried when it was time to leave. We took him out to eat and he behaved great as usual. Helen began her adjustment and played with him alot on her own yesterday. She IS the sweetest thing I have ever even heard of... but I digress. Jamie as my brother has begun to call him (which I like better than Jay cause it becomes Jay Jay and I think of Good Times which was a good show but not the image I want when I think of Jay. wait where was I oh yeah I need to close these parenthesis) acts like there is nothing to adjust too. He does get sad when I call Faith 'Momma' around Helen. He doesnt do this with 'Mommy' so I try to call her that.
Everyone immediately assumes he is from New Orleans.

First of all thank you all for your wonderful encouragements and especially the prayers! You hear people say that you really dont understand how much prayer is appreciated until you are in need of it. Charles, Tim, Laura, Audrey, Sam, Iz, Larry, Gracie, Jags, Yoda, you guys are truely invaluable blessings from God these days.

I arrived home at 6:15pm and we had already received a call postponing the meeting until 8:00. Faith then proceded to convert the extra bedroom into a toddler room. She is a genius at this stuff and never better than when under pressure. In 30 minutes WHAM BOOM SLAP CAPOW... presto a homey room with toys, a crib and play erea that looks like its always been that way.
We were almost sick at our stomachs with anticipation. The meeting got delayed several times and he finally arrived at our house about 9:30 last night. He was asleep and stayed asleep all night. Jay was still asleep when I left the house this morning. His name is Jamarion Ihedioha but everyone calls him Jay they said. I kinda like "Jamarion" tho. He is African or at least his mother is. I guess he is officially American. Not much else to report really.
