Well, we had our electrical inspection today. Paul has to pull out tons of wire, put in all new wire and all before Friday or we'll have to wait for another inspection and any insulation, etc till the first part of February. What a bummer. He's working furiously on it and now and I look into that space that we wanted to be moved into by now thinking, maybe we should just call it a sunroom! We pretty much had to write off all of December and now January is almost done and we're still just as far as we were in November. Yes, I'm whining. And we even had guidance from two electricians and still we have a list of problems. OH well, I am thankful that Paul was able to do it all and that we didn't have to hire an electrician- that would have been out of any budget on this project. We've done that before and were burned with a bill that was $1000 higher than estimated.
It's certainly not the end of the world. Paul was on cloud nine when our other inspection passed with flying colors and the county is supposed to be the hard ones to please so this is just a minor setback. Knowing Paul, he'll have it all fixed and we'll be back on track.
Today we were told by the doctor in Marshfield to go ahead and try to stop the medicine Tayton is on. I'm apprehensive of course- we tried this at a year old and it was torture for him. So today, no medicine and so far so good. We're to try this for a week and see what happens. If he slips back, then when we go down there in February, they want to schedule an OR for another endoscopy to see if they missed something. I was not very happy to hear this. This would mean sedation, IV, and severe congestion afterwards again. And to think that they might have missed something would really infuriate me. Seems like they must tape these things and could just look it over again? My mom said that maybe something that was there just got bigger and that's what they are looking for. So we'll have to see what happens in the next week- maybe it'll be fine. I know his chiro will be happy to hear that he's off the medicine. She's really been priceless to us with all she has done for him. Tayton has been going to her since he was like four months old I think- so for a little over a year at least weekly, and she has hardly charged us anything. How many doctors out there say, aw, he's so cute- it's on me today. She has just made it her personal goal to help him even if his situation stumps her.
Anyway, that's what's up today. No snow today- boo hoo. Maybe tomorrow.

Thanks Joy- yeah, I sort of have been thinking that I will wait to put any more blogs up till Gigi is back online. It's a good way for us to keep in touch- the responses are even better for that since it's an actual conversation and not "all about me".
The papaya seems to be keeping Tayton in check for the most part. He has times though that he'll just cry and cry and arch- like he just can't get comfortable. So I know it's not gone. I don't know what to do yet though. I'm glad you're home! Sure seems lonely when you're gone too. Love ya!
