Recovering

L is nearly is old self. However, he still has to follow the doctor’s orders. A few times a day, he has to wear the “elephant” mask. Some medication (ventolin) is vaporized with some pressurized air and fed into the mask. L still associates the elephant with everything bad he experienced over the last few days at the hospital–poor kid–so he does his level best to find something else to do whenever it makes an appearance.

Otherwise, life is slowly returning to normal. Pam caught a cold in the midst of the excitement last week and is busy fighting it off. The paper I was trying desperately to finish by the weekend didn’t get done–some things are more important than others–so I’ll be working to finish it over the next few days. Maybe when I finish the paper I can take advantage of the nice weather we’ve been having and try out the golf clubs I got for Christmas at a local driving range.
