Day #5085 (Fri., Dec. 8, 2023) – Walmart Donuts
Bobby is home today, but Katie went to school. Things went okay for Katie at school today, except for the fact that the girls passed her bracelet around and one actually broke it.
I picked up some donuts for the kids at Walmart yesterday when I was out (see photo to the right). At only $3.97 for 6 the price was right, but with Bobby throwing up he’s not interested. Katie thinks that they are too sweet, so my wife won’t even venture to try one. I’m cutting sugar out of my diet, so they just sit on the counter looking for a home in “someone’s stomach”.
Poor Bobby… He has these random headaches that come and go throughout the day. Sometimes he can distract himself with tv and video games, but then they come raging back. He’s often throwing up. There is a debate between his doctor and the specialist as to what the actual problem is. His doctor thinks that there is a sinus issue, but the specialist says that there would be mucus if that is the case. The doctor sent us a message later today stating that his white blood cells are low, and she is recommending a CAT scan. Well, we’re going to try to expedite that, but there is such a backlog we’re not sure when he will be able to get that done.
In terms of the Advent Calendar today, Bobby got an “invisible ink pen” for his spy missions, and Katie received another vial of perfume.
My wife gave Bobby some ibuprofen this evening so he was especially chatty when she put him to bed. We are hoping to go to the Hillsborough rink tomorrow so that the kids can do their ice skating test for level 2, but we’re not sure at this point…
