Hair today, nits tomorrow

The nights are getting longer and colder and Levi has responded by sleeping longer into the morning.  For the first time in his life, Levi is sleeping past the crack of dawn.  Yes if you wait long enough, kids finally sleep until a proper time of the morning. 

We have started to find a rhythm again, or I have anyway.  Levi is excited about his birthday coming up and we have some very busy weekends coming up prior to that.  It is helpful to have that kind of frenetic pace at the moment, just to put me back into the present after thinking so much about the past in the last few weeks.  The hard work on the weekend is helping as well.  The relentless fight against the mould continues!

Tonight I spent about 20 minutes combing out Levi's hair.  For the first time at school, he has nits.  His friend Ty has had them the last week, so I have been checking his hair every night.  It means I caught it really early and I could comb them out with conditioner.  I'll bet you all scratched your head just reading about it. 

We have two kids in ICU at the Children's hospital at the moment.  I am not sure if we are allowed to tell each family that there is another in there.  I think the mothers would get along really well and may find some support from each other.  I will have to ask our Social worker how to make that happen.  I am hoping that they find each other.  If you are praying people, send them some thoughts.  Both those kids need some real help at the moment.
