Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain.
An occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind,
but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point.

ups and downs.

I knew today was going to be good. The numbers are down, 4 over. 2 over on the front and an unavoidable double bogey on the 17th to post a 4 over 75. One of the best rounds of the year. If you asked me what year it is, I probably couldn't tell you.

As for Mason, He is doing better. The Nebulizer (TOBI) that they stopped yesterday was attempted again and it did not work very well... This medication no longer has a place on the Med sheet since it irritates Mason into a horrible coughing fit thereby increasing his O2 need.

From what I have noticed and for the time-being the steroid pulse is working. Mason is having some productive coughing fits that have the sound of gunk coming undone - this is a good thing. The inflammation is decreased in his lungs and the gunk can now get pushed out.

3 days ago I got a fortune cookie that said "tomorrow will be a lucky and memorable day for you." The next day...nothing. Today I got another fortune cookie that said "Today will be a lucky and memorable day for you." Two things; first, yes, I have been eating a lot of Chinese takeout lately; second, will someone please tell me when I'm going to have a lucky and memorable day? Relying on fortune cookies is not panning out as well as I hoped.

Thanks to everyone who has helped us out! Debbie and Galen for the wonderful Halloween goodies and gift card, the Orchards folks for the gift card, all the dinners people have supplied us, and most recently to Heather, Shane and the kids for the box of goodies. Shane I don't know how to thank you -- you always come up with such great ideas and are so gracious!
