All Clear

We can rejoice today, because Madison has been given the all-clear.  No more biohazard suits for us, or leaving Madison in a bubble in her room.  This morning we literally nit-picked, and then went in to see Nurse Sherry, who also nitpicked.  By the time we were done nitpicking, she was deemed worthy of school, which was a great relief for Madison.  But just as much for Mommy and Daddy, who are going slightly insanse with the cleansing process:  we sit there carefully examining strand after strand of hair, looking through magnifying glasses and spraying her hair with something we're told will kill the eggs as well.  The problem is finding all the eggs, and finding them before even one hatches.  And they start out small, so it is nearly impossible to see them to  begin with.  So we are not done looking yet.

A couple of tidbits today.  Firstly, Madison had a half-day.  All that effort to come in, and it was just a half-day.  But it was worth it to her.  She had a great day back at school.  And after school, Daddy came home so that we cold together go off to Doc Williams.  We each got an adjustment, and Madison was absolutely having a great time at the chiropractor's.  It was a nice ride over and back, where we all got to spend a little time together as a family.  And Madison always loves the chiropractor.  She just giggles and giggles and giggles.  And giggles.  She laughs so hard when there, I'm surprised nobody else says anything in adjacent rooms.  We have a great time!

Service was good tonight - we did a few fishing games that worked out well, and the message was a great one as well.  The cool news was this:  Daddy has a bigger office area now, a pretty nice new place with a fridge and a sink, and a big-screen television to review things... it's my own little office, and I cannot wait to decorate it with Mommy and Madison.

Madison spent time doing homework online today, and working on her spelling list too.  It is that time already, where we are working on new words each week.  We'll have to perfect that list tomorrow night when we practice together once more.

Until then, it's time for bed tonight.  Daddy is still sick - this is a sickness that sort of sticks with you. Fever and headaches, and a sore throat especially.  Hopefully we'll be a little better tomorrow.  This one stays with you longer.  It's not a dramatic sort of sickness, but it takes a while to get over.  Mommy had it last week, and thankfully Madison is doing just fine now.  And after one more brushing tonight, she's that much closer to an all-clear from those little bug monsters.
