What a week!

   We had a great Thanksgiving day, even though it was not like any other we have had.  Joel was not able to make it home this year, so it was just Josiah, Janelle and Jacob along with Jack and I. Knowing that my family does not love meat and potatoes I was not going to spend all my time in the kitchen making a big Turkey dinner that maybe just Janelle would appreciate. So instead we did things a little differently. Turkey burgers on the grill, pasta salad and orange salad. It was a GREAT meal and we still do our normal day of watching the parade and football games.
   Thursday evening Josiah, Janelle and I bundled up and went to a mall in KC. There we sat for six hours with some great friends in the 20degree weather and received a 25.00 gift card that had to be spent by 3am. It was the experience of it all that we enjoy so much. Because why else would I want to sit in the freezing cold to just get a $25.00 gift card.
   By Friday morning I had had enough of Jacobs coughing. It was a bit over a week that he had spent more time coughing then not. (especially at night.) We had tried many different medicines, put the humidifier on in his room and did the home remedies too. Nothing seemed to be working. So off to our Walmart Clinic. (it is a great place to go!!) The Dr. there asked if he was having any difficulty breathing, he said no. So she listened and asked the same question again. Same answer. No. His only complaint was he was tired of coughing and sometimes he thought he might throw up form coughing so much. No fever. They said he was wheezing, which I thought I heard but wasn't really sure. He got a breathing treatment and when it was complete he shouted, WOW I can breathe now!! I thought you weren't having any problems? He said he noticed such a difference after the treatment that he now realized he was having difficulties. He is now sleeping with out any coughing!! YEAH!
    Saturday we celebrated 28 years of being married. We went and had lunch, and did some shopping. Shopping together for us is, I go into the stores, and he sits in the car. HAHA! He likes it that way.
   Okay, it has been a long day, so I think I will quit writing for now.
