Tonight Levi crawled to bed. Yes, he was overtired and yes I had let him stay up a little and snuggle, but he crawled to bed. Crying no less. He was so overtired. He and I both have no idea what to do to push him into sleep when he is that tired. Eventually, he slipped slightly and 'hurt' his knee. Then he crawled to bed crying because he;
"Had to sleep on the floor because he couldn't get into bed"
Then I left him be for about a second and he is now sound asleep in bed, snoring a little. Maybe that was just what he needed. We are both under the weather. He is cranky and tired and it hurts when I breathe, so I think we both need some time to heal and possibly a bit more sleep! I think I will take the day off tomorrow and try to sleep in a little. It will be a stretch though. I seem to always have bad dreams when my chest is sore. I can't really go to work sick anyway. Most of the kids are immuno-suppressed and the ones that aren't don't need to get anything either. The last thing that I would want is to be the person that gives them something nasty.
Things are going to change at work and it has progressed far enough that I can talk about it. They are acknowledging Shark Bait Kids as a program at work. It means that actual hours are being assigned to it. Given that we have worked for several years over the top of our other jobs, this is really good news. It did mean that I had to make a decision to change my job a bit. One of the options was to do Shark Bait Kids and be the big cheese Physio (Official term Professional Advisor). This meant giving up all clinical work. Essentially turning me into a manager. The other option was to drop Professional Advisor and keep Shark Bait Kids and clinical work. Now anyone who knows anything at all about me, knows that this decision was an easier one than most. I am not a manager. I have never really been a manager. I love clinical and the kids. More than that, I can now work on making Shark Bait Kids more than just a program for kids with DMD who are lucky enough to live in Queensland.
Besides that, It will be really fun!!
