Today is finally coming to an end
So we left the house today about 930am and drove in the pouring rain. YUCK. I didn't want to go all the way by KU but we were on the way.
It is about 1040 and I get a phone call. It happens to be the place we are getting the helmet from, Hangar. They called to tell me that the helmet did not come in today and the company just called them to tell them it didn't get out on the shipment to be delivered at the morning delivery. I just said are you kidding me. We have been driving about 1.5 hours in the rain and there is no helmet. Sorry is what they said but it will be in Monday. Ok gas is 3.69/gal and it is about 63 miles one way. Unbelievable. So my next appt is 10am Monday. I have to call them at 830 to make sure it makes it but I won't get there on time. Oh well. I will get there when I get there.
So we went to Children's to get Lucas' blood draw to see what his TsH level is. This will determine if he will be on thyroid meds or not. He was a trooper. The lady took us back and said she was a student and then got the other lady. They asked if the student could do it. I mentioned he had down syndrome and they decided against the student. Down Syndrome causes the veins to be a hard stick. He layed there and she put the rubber on his arm and he frowned and looked at her like you aren't making me smile and then he just started sucking on his lips and tongue. She found the vein easily this time and poked. He let out a small cry and then just puckered while the blood was filling the vile. When she took out the needle he cried again but only a second. He was a good boy.
Lucas Ashton and I decided to go to grandma and grandpa Hopkins to visit with them and his great grandma also. We had a good visit. Ashton got to play shuffleboard and played on a lap top.
Lucas played with everyone and was a great baby. He only has a small little bruise.
We dropped Ashton off with his dad and we came home.
What a day. Lucas was a happy boy and Ashton was a good boy too today.

Helmet Day
What a dreary day out. We didn't have to get up at 545am because of no school for Ashton. Lucas slept til 7am. The thunder woke me up.
Off to get us ready to go. After the helmet appt we have to go have Lucas' blood taken to find out if his last blood draw was a fluke. His thyroid is running low. It did at the beginning and then it was fine. Now it is low again. Makes me so sad when he gets his blood taken.
