In the AM

...

It is 5:10 a.m. My family is sleeping. It is good to be home. Chandler has been Super Kid since we have been back. Aliyah has been the melt-down-Queen. Neviyah is squealing, laughing and smiling so much that I fear her cheeks will pop off.

Every trace of flu is almost gone. I will not go to work today but will try the meeting tonight for the retreat. Rob is back to normal. Thank G-d none of the other children caught the flu. Having the flu is miserable. I forget how miserable in between having it!

I am supposed to start a Jewish Business Ethics class on Thursday with Rabbi Avi but I will have to see how things are going. I may need to miss the first class due in part to exhaustion. Right now, that is my major symptom (besides nausea). In February I begin classes with one of my teachers, Rabbi Neal. He is teaching a class on past Rabbis and Tanya. I am really excited about it.

Anyway, it feels great to be home and to pretend that all is well with Neviyah--but, I know in a little over a week, we will be at the hospital doing testing and then some sort of surgery. This morning, however, she is laying next to me...looking sweet and well.
