On the web again!

Today the internet was installed at home. We are back in touch with the world. Maci's babysitter was joking the other day that if the economy was to get too bad she was cutting out food before she would cancel the internet.

Maci has been spending the week with a different person each day. Monday she went to daycare but was starting to get sick. Tuesday Aunt Amy was available to come over and stay with Maci. Derek was hoping that in one day Aunt Amy would teach Maci to play twinkle twinkle little star on her keyboard. So far she hasn't been able to play it for us! Later that night Grandma Jane came over and was saying something to Maci and she told her she was just like Aunt Amy! Grandma Jane thought that was funny stuff. Wednesday her cousin Amanda volunteered to stay with her. I think it was a good day. She seemed very happy and hugged her goodbye. I was afraid she might not be familiar enough, but of course I should have known Amanda would be a great entertainer! Amanda reported they read lots of books, and Maci read books to her too.

Maci is on the oral steroids, but her mood has been pretty good considering. Today is the start of the reducing of it. We go to the pulmonologist tomorrow. I am thinking it will be good to see him in the middle of one of our episodes. Every other time he sees her she is doing good. He will get to witness her in action.

This is our first week that we were supposed to be back in the swing of work, but the illness is making it extra tiring! Good thing her Grandma Jane comes and hangs out with her at night. Last night Derek and I thought we could just disappear and she would be perfectly content with her Grandma Jane. As soon as Grandma got here she wanted her to come to her room and get in bed together. BUT I know why she likes her so much better. Grandma Jane does everything Maci wants to do AND her mother will not get up in the middle of the night and rock her in the rocking chair. I am so mean.
