Thursday

      Okay, it is Thursday morning here. 9:35. I am sitting in the front room while Jocie is watching " Jack's Big Music Show" in her play yard. Myranda left for school almost an hour ago. Michael is asleep.

   The gals from the Infant Learning Program will be here at noon. They come twice a week to work with Jocelynn. There is a behavior and speech therapist. Jocelynn may have Autism. She will have a diagnosis later next month. She turned two in November and is not talking. I am not sure why. She was before. She used to say,"Mommy","Daddy", "Sissy", "Kitty" ,and"Good girl`".. She doesn't say any of that now.

   Jocie also is very particular about the way she plays, eats, sleeps..If her routine is, in any way thrown off, she let's you know that she is not happy about it. We do not take her to Stores or restaurants because it is too much going on. She opts for familiar, quiet surroundings ans people. Her favorite place to go is church. We have about six families that attend, so It is okay with her. It also helps that she is the youngest one there. She is never starved for attention.
   

 Lately, my days have been filled with doctors appointments, so it is kinda nice that It is now almost ten and I am still in my pajamas. On January 20th, I was in a car accident. It is weird how it happened. I ended up with infected hematoma and cellulitus. It is in my left upper thigh. So I  had  an incision made in my leg and they got everything "Bad" out. I then spent three days in the hospital. For five days after that, I would go up to the hospitals PT department. where they would clean the wound and pack it up with more gauze. Then, on Friday, they gave me the wound vac. This is what the unit looks like

Cute huh? I have the unit in a purse type bag that I carry around EVRYWHERE I go. I do get to disconnect it to take a shower. They think I will need it for about a month. This is a photo of my cute purse:

and this is my leg:





I am actually healing pretty good and with the wound vac, I can do more than with the bandages. so I am really happy about that.
