I am so incredibly tired of having to whisper everything. I want my voice back. I am stuck at home 24/7 because almost everybody I normally come into contact with relies on their voice to do their job, especially the speech therapists. I am also really tired of coughing, although that seems to be ever so gradually improving. At least is it past the dry hacking thing and on to a more productive cough. I just want to feel better already.
I do have to say, it is sort of amusing to see Zane and I interacting together. A mom who has no voice and a boy who struggles with language. I can’t help him find the words when I don’t have a voice, so we are living in a largely non-verbal world right now. To add the frustration, Zora’s favorite activity is being read to, something I can’t do at all right now. I need my voice back, like yesterday.
Zach took Zane to his first day of the summer social skills group. He was so excited to be back at his school and to see some familiar faces. He was absolutely giddy with excitement. (Zach said he couldn’t have been happier if he was pooping gold nuggets. lol) It was very good to see and the people there were commenting about how excited he was.
No phone calls yet for Zach. Frustrating. In better news, Zora’s cold seems annoying, but *knock on wood* is a much milder version than mine. Zane seems to have just gotten the cough with no other real symptoms at all. Zach was worried yesterday, but so far, he has not gotten any worse. So, thankfully, I seem to be the hardest hit by this viral round.
Ugh, losing your voice is so awful. Hopefully it’ll come back for you really fast – sometimes when that happens to me I wake up one morning and it’s all better!
I’m sorry you are so sick. I hope you get to feeling better soon. I’m glad Zane is excited about his summer activities.
RYC: Yes, it is tomorrow. It’s a preliminary thingy, I guess where they say like, what witnesses are being called, what lawyers and stuff like that. I don’t want it to, but I know it’s going to drag on and on. We saw him sitting outside his apartment (where, by the way, he’s not supposed to be because he’s a felon and the lease says no one with a felony can even be on the premises) reading his mail. Matt said it looked like he knew he was done for, but I didn’t see it. This is so hard for me, and then all the other stuff that’s been going on. I hope you get to feeling better soon.
I hope you feel better soon.
Yay for Zane’s fun! It’s good when they are happy about their activities.
