Well we got back to Edmonton ok. Our trip up to Peace River was quite the adventure. I pulled over to feed Lucian a banana on the side of a gravel road and got completely sucked into the ditch. Luckily we didn't have to wait there for too long before some really great farmers helped us out! Thank you so much!!! Then two hours later we drove down into the valley that is Peace River and realized that they have mountains and mountains of snow right now!!! When I got to my mothers house I could barely walk up her sidewalk as the snow had drifted 4 feet over the walkway. So I took Lucian in to visit with Baba and grabbed up the shovel and headed out to shovel the mountain of snow away. After all is done Lucian is happy to be out of the car and hungry so we start making supper when all of a sudden it sounds like it is pouring outside. It was! It rained for and hour or so and then proceeded to snow again about a foot. So there I was the next morning out with the shovel again.
Thinking about it all now if I had went into the back yard and just started tunneling I could have dug myself a great little igloo but oh how much work that would have been. Not to mention she has three dogs that do there business out there in that big pile of snow. On second thought that would have been a really really bad idea!!! Ewwww.
Lucian was pretty good on the drive up, he only had a few little melt downs. After the first day of visiting he started acting very insecure and needy. Then on the second day is was absolutely hysterical.
Now in the mean time Brandon is at home with this killer head cold that he oh so conveniently got when we had left. Here I was thinking thank the lords we aren't at home and won't catch this cold!! Not so lucky.
On the third day it was clear that the reason Lucian had been so upset the days before was that he had indeed caught Brandon's head cold before we left. He was sick for the rest of our visit. We have been home for three days now and he is still pretty sick. For a while I actually thought he was over the worst of it but now it seems as if he is just picking up different aspects of the cold. Today he is starting to be super needy and frustrated again.
I was hoping to get out to the gym a few times this week but by the looks of things it doesn't look like I will be able to go much of anywhere. I might even end up by taking him in to his pediatrician if it continues to get much worse. He has started coughing like a dog barking in the last two days and it is getting pretty violent as the day goes on. Geezzz and I thought I got away from all the barking once I left my mothers. HEe hee!! Poor little guy, on top of all this he was acting a little crazy in the kitchen earlier and fell and smacked his face on the floor and cut open his lip a little bit.
I hope by tomorrow he is doing a bit better and I can rest a little easier! He has only been sick one other time and that was when we went on vacation to BC and he really wasn't that bad at all. It was just a little bit of a cold that he was over within three days, nothing like this. Anyway I should be ending this and heading off to start supper so that when he gets up all there is left to do it cook it.
