Jordan is no longer napping. Not because he doesn't need a nap, but because the steroid is making him a super-human freak child who never sleeps. I'm overreacting, I know. He actually sleeps pretty well at night, when he finally falls asleep. Its just that he needs his nap sooo badly. He's so tired right now. I tried for 2 hours to get him to sleep. Now its too late, we have to leave in less than an hour to pick up Shaun from school. So, it looks like my afternoon's going to be pretty miserable.
Chris and I are still fasting. We're following the food guidelines, but I have not had much time to ready my Bible or pray. Well, I can pray whenever I want, but I haven't been able to pray like I want. Jordan's been moody and hysterical since he started his medicine and my days have been pretty rough. Satan's tricky like that. Not going to let it stop me, though! We sang a beautiful song at church on Sunday: "I will search for You and I will find You, I will find You with all of my heart; I will lift my hands to You in worship, I will worship with all of my heart". I thought this song was very fitting to kick off a fast with. That's my biggest prayer-to find God and understand his will on my life.

Long day
Today has been so long- and its still soooo long until bed time!
Jordan was "officially" diagnosed with asthma today. His oxygen level was 97 percent and the doc said she was surprised it was that high. His lungs sounded awful. He started Prednozone(?) today, along with a higher doze of the Flovent inhaler and will see the doctor again in 2 weeks.
When we got to the dentist, his dentist wasn't even there. We saw another one in the group. I liked her well enough. She seemed knowledgable. She wanted to get x-rays, but J freaked out so much she said we could wait until next time. It took 3 people to hold him down so she could examine him. I had to wait outside, crying and listening to him scream. He should ideally have 20 teeth right now, and he only has 13. We know for sure he's missing the 2 top teeth on either sides of the 2 middle teeth. I asked about getting crowns to make his teeth look normal. We really need to wait and see how many teeth are going to come in. I know it sounds bratty, but he's so cute, and I want his teeth to look normal. Oh well- there are worse things, I guess.
He's sleeping now. I think he looks like a angel when he sleeps...so innocent to all of the world's disappointments.
Shaun was excellent today until we got home. Then he had a minor melt-down.
Oh- and our dryer is apparently broken. What next?
