monday morning..

today is now monday..anna's fever is totally gone..wierd that the girls just get a fever, then sleep it off, and then they're better...

it was SOOOO nice to be able to actually sleep!! i was able to get up with the older girls, get them ready for school, then get the younger two dressed for the day and ready to be picked up by teresa..

i then left to go running! SO NICE i got to do that!! the Hales weight loss competition is NOW ON!!! Robert - look out!!! so far, me, robert, sandra, katie and scott are in the competition..any other hales wishing to compete..join in! i went with cindy and erin... kristen thompson is my usual running partner..she couldnt come today..but she'll start coming with me.. we usually go at 9am..that seems to work best for everyone with school kids and what not...i had worked SO HARD to get myself to where i was before the accident..jon is making me start up again..he knew how important it was for me and that i had made a goal and was acheiving it--so he doesnt want me to let up on that..

today jon is in a LOT of pain again..he says each morning he wakes up in more pain then he was the morning before..so i just dont know if its the effexor or what now??? i put a call into the pain management doctor..he's not in the office today..so i left a message for him..so we'll see what happens with that..its 1030am and he's just been lying in bed..he usually does so till about 11am..then we transfer him into his wheelchair..his PT is coming at 12noon..so we'll see what happens..its SOOO HARD to walk in and look at him sleeping..knowing he'd rather sleep then be awake and feel the constant burning pain..he says that he'll stop taking the effexor and we'll see if his pain decreases or stays the same or what..then we'll know if its the effexor or not...MAN i wish we could figure this out already!!!!

well time to get things going..pray that we find a solution to his pain..i dont know why it KEEPS increasing...
