ohginnyfan | Living at the doctor's office...

I will be seeing various doctors more often than I prefer over the next two weeks:

Ben was seen in the Urgent Care on Saturday for an ear infection.
Ben needs to be re-checked in 14 days by his regular doctor.
Nick needs a follow-up chest X-ray for his pneumonia
I have an appt scheduled on the 13th for a hormone recheck -- bloodwork and doctor visit.
I'm heading to the doctor today because the cough I have from the URI infection from two weeks ago has stalled out and is not getting any better.

Nick and I also had dental appts scheduled for next week, but those got cancelled.

In other news, Joshua's basketball team is 4 - 0 so far. Their coaches are really very good, and are teaching a lot of strategy techniques. The team was getting beat pretty hard after the first quarter in yesterday's game by a very aggressive team, and whatever our one coach saw, he was able to communicate to the boys, and they went out and beat the other team by 10 and kept the other team to scoring only 8 point in the last three quarters. (Final score was 25-15). Their one coach was a pro baseball player, and knows a thing or two about strategy. He works with the kids individually while the head coach works with the team as a whole. It's a good system and seems to be working very well for these boys.

Josh isn't much of a basketball player but is one of the taller ones, so he can rebound really good and get it to someone who can move the ball back up the court and score. He doesn't play a lot each game (although Saturday's game was an easy win, so he was in that game a bit more), but he loves it, so that's what's important.

And next week we have his very first band concert. That will be interesting...

We went and had brunch with Santa on Sunday -- which was very, very nice. It's sponsored by my hospital, and is an all you can eat buffet with some made-to-order things. Really good food (considering it's the hospital cafeteria), and the boys got to see Santa -- who Ben still wanted nothing to do with.

And my Color Challenge fiction is up here in my journal. And I've almost got my fiction for bringandfly 's birthday done. And I've accepted the Christmas Challenge for the hbp_ficafest .
