The last 48 hours were extremely stressful here.  Liam cannot fall asleep at night.  She's  moaning "owwww, owwww, owwww", "Eema, Eama, Eama" nonstop all night long.  We didn't find a way to calm her down.  In addition she's vomiting a lot, which puts a question mark on how effective is her hydration, a critical factor regarding the functionality of her kidneys. But regardless of the medical observation, it's just extremely difficult these days. 

Yesterday was a big day for Meitav - three performances of the Nut Cracker.  Rachel spent the day helping her backstage.  I had a list of assignments, which I felt I can accomplish next to Liam's bed:  paying bills online, deposit checks electronically, helping Meitav with a computer-based project, preparing a hospital-compatible computer for Rachel.  But Liam decided otherwise.  She vomited plenty and moaned most of the time.  I was stressed out.  Luckily, I had a good friend helping me.

But wait, that was not all.  It was the one of coldest day in Atlanta this year.  Toward noon-ish I discovered that our furnace is not working.  Now, here's a reminder:  as I mentioned in earlier posts, Liam's body temperature often deeps into dangerous lows (95's and even below).  So I'm here with Liam vomiting, the heater is out of service, Liam's body temp is vulnerable, and Rachel is away.  The most fun one can get!!!  Luckily I was able to get a hold of a service man (on Saturday) and turn on our backup heating devices.  When Rachel returned home it was a huge relief.  All I wanted to do is go to sleep.  But I still wanted to attend Meitav's show, which I did.  It was GREAT!!!  She grows from one year to the next, becomes more professional, more accurate in her moves and her posture, more mature, prettier.  I'm a football guy.  Ballet is not really one of my "sports".  But her performance on the stage always make my eyes watery.

Last night again Liam didn't sleep well.  Rachel spent the night with her - mainly because she felt sorry for me.  Today (Sunday), we're all just exhausted from the past few days.  I was gonna spend the afternoon with my beer buddies, but it simply didn't work out.  One of us has to be on high alert next to Liam at all times.  On a positive note, Liam had a relatively good day. 

We're soooooooooooo tired.
