Time To See the Fireflies

Fireflies~ you know those little bugs that light up the sky at night. Tiny periodic flickers of light that make you feel young and happy as you sit patiently waiting for the next one to light up. The ones that make children run all over the yard hoping to see where the next one will appear.
I have spent so much time complaining that I think it is time to see the fireflies.

* It could be much worse. Ollie is only "kinda" sick. Very clingy and fussy but overall not the picture of terrible health.
*Tuberculosis is treatable. There are a crapload of drugs with some nasty side effects, but at least in the end you no longer have to wear a mask and worry about losing your friends.
*The rest of our household is negative. First that means it wasn't any of us that gave it to him. Second that means he didn't give it to any of us. But let me once again point out that it is almost impossible for a child to transmit tuberculosis.
*The state of NC provides the drugs for free. That's a load off since these drugs equal appx $30....a day.
*We have lots of people who contact us everyday to tell us that we are in their thoughts. That means a lot to me.
*After months of being sick hopefully Ollie will start to feel better and be able to see what a normal, healthy toddler should feel like.
*Hopefully Ollie will be healthy and ready to go camping in the fall.
*And last but most certainly not least: prescription drugs for Mom!! Because seeing the bright side is not always easy.
