Rough Week

This last week has been hard. Grayson had an ear infection so he was put on antibiotics for 10 days. Then, I got the flu over the weekend. Not the swine flu, the regular flu. I usually get my flu shot, but this hit me before I could. I missed my friend's baby shower. I thought the snap 'n' go stroller was enough of a gift. She didn't need the flu, in addition to that. I started off with a fever that reached 103 on Saturday. With the help of my good friend, Motrin, it went down to 100ish and stayed there for a couple of days. It hit me so hard, that I had to take 3 days off of work. Thankfully, between Jerry and my mom, Grayson and I were well taken care of.

In addition to that, on Sunday morning, my grandma passed away. She would've turned 85 on Monday. I could write down a million things about her and it would not even begin to come close to describe the wonderful woman she was. She was truly the most dedicated, loving, and compassionate person that I have ever known. She did not have a mean bone in her body, even as her conditioned worsened. She was just the best. She lived for her grandchildren and would have done anything for them.

Grayson is soooooo lucky to have the grandparents that he has. All four of them are wonderful. They love him. They love taking care of him. They spoil him rotten. They will do anything for him. They will tell you that it is their job to do all of those things. Still though, I don't even know if they will ever be able to measure up to my grandma. Then again, I'm pretty partial to her.
