Going against the tide...

Oh my, I am so down.

I think I need a break. This burn thing has been so hard on little Ollie. He's still in a lot of pain, especially when I change the dressing. The blisters on his fingers popped and when the dead skin was removed it was discovered that he has 3rd degree burns on some of his fingers as well. I'm starting to wonder how long this is going to take to heal. It looks the same as it did two days ago.

Like I said, Ollie is in pain a lot of the time. He begs me for his pain medication (tylenol with codein) and this is a kid who hates taking medications! He takes this though and he doesn't even fight it anymore. He knows it makes him feel better. I'm almost out though, and what will we do then if he's still hurting? The medication makes him dizzy though, and he's just an early walker anyway. He walks a few steps then loses his balance and falls and starts crying again. He is crying so much. I am starting to get fatigued with taking care of him. Last night MIL offered to give us money to go to a movie and watch the baby while we went. I really needed to go but DH said no. He didn't want to borrow the money! UGH I really needed it and now I'm so down. And I can't get anything done. My kitchen was soooo nasty. I cleaned it today and it seriously took me 6 hours because Ollie wouldn't let me do anything. He won't even sit and watch TV. which is a good thing, but goodness, I need him to find something that relaxes him, other than sitting with me. Even AP parents can get burned out I guess. I feel so guilty, after all, my baby needs me! But it's so tough to give and give and give you know? *sigh*

Whenever kingship approaches tyranny it is near its end, for by this it becomes ripe for division.

Suicide is not abominable because God prohibits it; God prohibits it because it is abominable.

If you talk to God, you are praying; if God talks to you, you have schizophrenia.

It is a little embarrassing that, after 45 years of research and study, the best advice I can give to people is to be a little kinder to each other.

The thought of suicide is a great source of comfort: with it a calm passage is to be made across many a bad night.
