"It's been a rough week."

Thursday, March 5, 1992

     It's been a rough week. I think Ez's over her cold. My head has cleared up but it's kind of in my chest. The past two nights have been bad. I start wheezing & when I try to cough stuff up it's like it's just below where I can reach it. It made my throat sore again from all the coughing. Night before last I woke up coughing & it eventually woke Ez. up. Last night I was coughing a lot again but she didn't wake up till Guy got out of the shower. She didn't go back to sleep till 6:30 then slept till 9:00. I forget what the times were Tue. night. Anyway, we've just really been having a rough time. I kept her awake till after lunch today & she slept 12:30-3:00.

     I stayed home Sunday morning but went Sun. night. Guy had yesterday aft. off & we went to the commissary. He had this aft. off & I took a nap then he went to take Carole Krebsbach & the girls to the airport to go see her folks in Texas. We're taking care of Katy (their dog) while she's gone. Mike is at sea. She's staying at their house–we have to go feed her and let her out twice a day. The only time I have to go is Sat. eve. cause Guy has duty Sat. I dread it. She'll be back Tuesday. She called Tues. night & said her minivan had been stolen while she was at work. They had a car stolen from the side street at the church building one Sunday night a couple of years (or more) ago. It's hard to believe that could happen more than once to someone. Since Mike's at sea she can use his truck till he gets back. They have two car seats for Martha.

     I got a letter from Philip today. He sent a computer printout with Ez's name, ours, and just the Pulley side of the family. There was another one listing Papa's great-grandfather, his children, their children, etc. down through Ez's generation. It does need a lot of updating though. He said he's trying to verify info & get it all together so I guess I need to wait awhile before I put all this in Ez's book.

     I got her to move kind of sideways forward in her walker today by holding some cheerios in my hand for her to come get. It seems like she might be getting ready to pull up. She grabbed ahold of the edge of the coffee table a few times & moved her lets around but didn't get up on her knees or anything. It may not be long now though.
