They convened off camera and came back with their plan. We’ll be trying these strategies gradually:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">1. Stop sitting in her room, even for a short time. We currently sit in her room and have cut back - I do better at leaving BEFORE she falls asleep because she needs to fall asleep on her own. As soon as I leave, she comes out 2-3 times, sometimes asks for the bathroom, sometimes asks for Dad. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">2. Start utilizing a “Bedtime Pass.” Hannah will start with two passes - she can use two "passes" that Tim and I will acknowledge with emotion. Anything after that, she’s escorted back with a neutral parent (no emotion). <i>**I’m not sure how this will work - we’ve tried incentives and Hannah isn’t driven by incentives - she’s driven by the attention of Mom and Dad. So we’ll see how this goes.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">3. Physical Barrier; a decorated gate or ribbon that is a visual cue to stay in your room.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">4. Weighted Blanket</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">5. Sleep Fairy book (a specific book recommended by CCHMC that has helped some)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">6. No more in Mom & Dad’s bed in the 4am hour! <i>**I logically knew we’d have to do this. I wanted to hear it from a professional and have to prepare myself to lose an extra hour of sleep for this step. I really hope it does the job because I can’t wake up every morning at 4:30am because my kid won’t go back to her bed. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">And for what it’s worth - they acknowledged we’ve done a lot of good thus far to make her sleep independently - we just need to push across the finish line. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Will probably start this weekend - wish us luck! </span></p>CKronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17098017562465707471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9037437100384911434.post-17319423693184591092022-02-22T12:46:00.000-06:002022-02-22T12:46:30.298-06:00Christmas 2021<p><span style="font-family: georgia;"> Christmas was better in 2021 - a little more normal with small family gatherings.

A friend of mine invited me and I jumped in! It was held at a local art center and a local farm brought their small goats who pranced around while we did very basic yoga moves. It was more for the gimmick than an actual yoga practice. But it was super cute to hang out with goats for about 30 minutes! </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiYt-j3_B7UY49Vqui6zfy-qsNSwAuydIVyK0w9Q37vB1J8GSBI_bNoFG09yoIDngTOw-AS8OMHb1OXE1In85ZL6wsx93FgCHbSH9Kzo3fEzQf2pPKihZ8mpZhO182GaTji0wTExMuexezs-EWrhTzlv1fb893NHzvxCKIsWIueCNk4oo0tNXKsqZZ-=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

This virus works very strangely. The girls headed back to school. Tim just got out of his quarantine this past Saturday. I don’t think he was as bad as I was. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Both our coughs are gone, but lasted until about Day 14 after first symptoms. I can taste, but I can tell it’s not 100%. Same with my sense of smell. It’s there, but not as strong as it was. I hope it all bounces back eventually 😕</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">The girls are getting their 1st vaccine dose today. Multiple doctors have said to proceed. Tim and I will be getting boosted with Moderna here shortly too. We’re going to stagger our boosters in case we’re down for a day. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Cases are rising everywhere, in case anyone hadn’t noticed.

I think Hannah was acting a bit off Saturday which prompted us. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Both girls’ tests were positive. Which I think we were glad - ? It immediately nixed my isolation. If the girls are I were positive, Tim had been around us for DAYS by then and had already been exposed plenty. So at least we could congregate together. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA2rIPGHgB-K8qP9dKW0GcW65wlbdzEJ51v4OtoVfeKatz9rC4kkccAudiqhBVfm2e9P5QuSEv5Qp2ftFylAkAx6WTXgVTHa-h_EhntMKQjp_U0yHqj3HGoJCK_deuCzdrAOf24NCYa1o/s1800/KronGirls_PositiveTests.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1800" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA2rIPGHgB-K8qP9dKW0GcW65wlbdzEJ51v4OtoVfeKatz9rC4kkccAudiqhBVfm2e9P5QuSEv5Qp2ftFylAkAx6WTXgVTHa-h_EhntMKQjp_U0yHqj3HGoJCK_deuCzdrAOf24NCYa1o/s320/KronGirls_PositiveTests.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Hannah had a fever for maybe a day if not less. It peaked at 100.2˚. Nora’s only symptoms looking back at the week was a sore throat and aches back on Monday the 1st. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">I’m on Day 10 of having symptoms/side effects. My cough has not subsided and I know some people have it for a while after the virus leaves. I still cannot taste or smell. I’m trying to read up and some folks use mouthwash daily, others just eat intense-flavored foods every day to train their tastebuds. Today I had brown rice, a fried egg, and threw pico de gallo on top with lots of raw onion and some chili lime salt. It hit hard; my sinuses were burning. Then I ate a small amount of mac-n-cheese and I swear I could taste it a bit better. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">I can taste salty, sweet, and bitter profiles, but not the detailed flavor. It’s hard to explain. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6tG7UB0m5XwQG50pm1FQHEKLho8i9otkrqbLAnVUFmCR5FWY-KRtT2L-KFu7j1nyMi8cdsua0GGfFOioHHBcHbJBx0OOcC6q9oJ1QsbAKJrVayubs1kNn1272aE3clxScjFFxQuRBS9A/s2508/senses-covid-jc-200805.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1254" data-original-width="2508" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6tG7UB0m5XwQG50pm1FQHEKLho8i9otkrqbLAnVUFmCR5FWY-KRtT2L-KFu7j1nyMi8cdsua0GGfFOioHHBcHbJBx0OOcC6q9oJ1QsbAKJrVayubs1kNn1272aE3clxScjFFxQuRBS9A/s320/senses-covid-jc-200805.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">My quarantine ends Thursday.

It’s a lot to move around for a working family who gets hit. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">As disruptive as this has all been and as hard as it hit me, I’m glad we’re all okay and now we’ll have a great gift for the holiday season: immunity 🥴</span></p>CKronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17098017562465707471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9037437100384911434.post-16226900845828652802021-11-05T16:16:00.002-05:002021-11-05T16:16:52.962-05:00I Have COVID. Again.<p><span style="font-family: georgia;"> I'm kind of out of words anymore about this virus. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Yes, I’m vaccinated (J&J), and yes, supposedly I had COVID already in July. Tim supposedly did too. Are two false positives common? Did we falsely cancel half our July for nothing? Sigh. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">I started feeling crummy on Halloween; just fatigue, achey. I took some DayQuil and gained some energy for Trick or Treating. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Monday I didn’t feel awful, worked out that morning, went to work (!) and mustered through the day with some chest congestion. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Tuesday woke up and worked out again, felt okay. I was home with the girls for their day off (Election Day). I was able to keep up with them for the 1st half of the day, but once mid-day hit, I went downhill. Aches, chills, sneezing. I spent the 2nd half of the day on the couch under a blanket. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Wednesday I had a sore throat and I worked from home, not feeling super again. As the day went on, I realized I couldn't smell or taste anything. I stuck my nose in a jar of garlic - nothing.<u> No way</u> - I already had this damn virus, no way could I be positive again. My Mom had given us some free at-home rapid tests and I took one - <i>it was positive</i>. @$%&*</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsutA1uZ-kWx5R1V5-Ymwjuh2XGq6JiJ3AxpNmku4kMxAjlH9_Z-9-Sp6Xmw844rNBw1cVFeFNYlDGwYvndqYkUfLKPt-sRn5FZ06RhlcqwbW0dQ5gqMXnaxGGIHdNmjDX8pVp8TbR-Ko/s4032/65765151775__4DFC6521-64BB-47A5-B615-798503F6DE28.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsutA1uZ-kWx5R1V5-Ymwjuh2XGq6JiJ3AxpNmku4kMxAjlH9_Z-9-Sp6Xmw844rNBw1cVFeFNYlDGwYvndqYkUfLKPt-sRn5FZ06RhlcqwbW0dQ5gqMXnaxGGIHdNmjDX8pVp8TbR-Ko/s320/65765151775__4DFC6521-64BB-47A5-B615-798503F6DE28.HEIC" width="240" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">I talked to a county nurse again. She said if I isolated from the family and the girls tested negative on Day 5 (Monday) after their last exposure from me, they could return to school on their Day 8 - which would be Nov 11th. That’s my release date, too. If I stay exposed to the girls, they wouldn’t return to school until Nov 18th - two days of school until they are off for a stupidly long Thanksgiving Break until Tuesday Nov 30th. We want our girls in school, so we’re making a tough decision to isolate me in our bedroom.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Tim of course tested negative because nothing makes sense anymore. He does not have to quarantine because he’s vaccinated, but needs to wear a mask if he went out. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">The girls are fine. Hannah had a cold last week which makes me wonder if she brought it home again - I swear that kid has been exposed more than anyone I know and nothing has happened - I truly wonder if she’s a carrier or immune. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Cases in Nora’s school have ramped up again after Halloween - the same thing happened last year. The girl next door is positive and a partner at my office tested positive the same afternoon I did. She had travelled last Friday and had been out to dinner Monday for her birthday.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">I had gone to a brewery on Friday - my first public eatery since early July. Maybe I caught it there? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">I’m just frustrated. We do most everything we’re supposed to and it’s been a hard year of pivoting with this virus. Meanwhile, I know others who don’t play by the rules and they just skip around with no consequences. I can’t help but stew.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">-------</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">I’m taking Aspirin every day to thin out my blood, moving as much as I’m able to keep my lungs open. A friend dropped off a pulse ox and thankfully my O2 is 100%. I tried to sleep on my stomach last night - that wasn't happening. I don’t know how I did that pre-children. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">I have no hunger or thirst cues. You have no idea how important those two senses are until you lose them. I only eat and drink b.c I know I have to. The feeling of my stomach tells me when I’m hungry. I really, really hope those senses come back in a timely manner. It was one thing that really freaked me out and now it’s affecting me. </span></p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt7-VLKGH6Rhcbxob77kooCtVOdH9gls1jsvcXtqyg66ptFW4xYDwiE84VJ8pJOwM9kyveJ_l6BsMQFXv_CPW6Y5HGO_EbGUeSm5Z5JaovXUqAQuOFg7Ai_dkolmFvwIfLj3hOtYmqRf4/s4032/IMG_6744.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt7-VLKGH6Rhcbxob77kooCtVOdH9gls1jsvcXtqyg66ptFW4xYDwiE84VJ8pJOwM9kyveJ_l6BsMQFXv_CPW6Y5HGO_EbGUeSm5Z5JaovXUqAQuOFg7Ai_dkolmFvwIfLj3hOtYmqRf4/s320/IMG_6744.HEIC" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I don’t ever use sriracha - it made my nose run, but I didn’t taste its heat.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinjvV4xOAdREigQyKoR1HZVAKjw1KSBuznT7nTekGRVSFudrZmBZMnKhzVBtS2WXctd1gJN8X3WOQh8H9k9nNTfVp-ldt1RNPDfKGqCPudwtZQEMD1aPamxMPX393Gb3opWgBLH-Uk0Ns/s4032/IMG_6746.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinjvV4xOAdREigQyKoR1HZVAKjw1KSBuznT7nTekGRVSFudrZmBZMnKhzVBtS2WXctd1gJN8X3WOQh8H9k9nNTfVp-ldt1RNPDfKGqCPudwtZQEMD1aPamxMPX393Gb3opWgBLH-Uk0Ns/s320/IMG_6746.HEIC" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My temporary office + entertainment system.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Tim and the girls FaceTime and we text. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">It’s going to be a long quarantine.

While I was happy the school implemented masking for K-6, masks are not worn at lunch and optional in the hallways and recess. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Additionally, through word of mouth I heard parents were sending sick kids into school or sending kids into school when <u>someone in the household tested positive.</u> What is wrong with people?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">The masks were not implemented until after Open House. I was disappointed we were one of maybe three families masking in the building. Three days after the start of school, Hannah’s teacher tested positive. Then her aide was out sick with flu symptoms, not COVID. Then within the next week, approximately <b>FOUR</b> kids in her class tested positive too. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">We got <u>two</u> courtesy calls that Hannah was near a classmate who tested positive, but in the length of time deemed to quarantine. Sigh. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">The start of school was super inconsistent. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Ultimately just after 10 days of school, Hannah’s class went remote for the week before Labor Day. It was kind of stressful, but I’m thankful Tim and I can work from home. However, I’ve stressed this before - kids with disabilities have to be in the classroom. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Tim and I are parents, not teachers. Hannah does not listen to us in the same way and it was a struggle to get her work done. We had to spread it across the day. She did not have the attention or focus for the Zoom calls. I focused on one day at a time! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Now we’re a month in an it seems the positive cases are slowing down for now and glad for some more consistency. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDXkhnBEzbNUflqrM6Qpcqiv17cr1F-94JTfwUBj75XQbrwWH3GGhymZnmxdeQ9tFwmWVik2F2WQTd2jFnUqLuAFQBnhsvtKoxtP_syRuLBQXfdauY-Y0WIM0Mlrdk4DZJbXCcoalWsW4/s1800/IMG_6261.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1350" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDXkhnBEzbNUflqrM6Qpcqiv17cr1F-94JTfwUBj75XQbrwWH3GGhymZnmxdeQ9tFwmWVik2F2WQTd2jFnUqLuAFQBnhsvtKoxtP_syRuLBQXfdauY-Y0WIM0Mlrdk4DZJbXCcoalWsW4/s320/IMG_6261.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><p></p>CKronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17098017562465707471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9037437100384911434.post-42145003858938858782021-09-07T14:10:00.006-05:002021-09-07T14:10:38.258-05:00Beginning of School Snags: Part 1<p><span style="font-family: georgia;">We finally made it - first day of school for 2021-2022; 4th and 1st grade. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">We tried to keep teaching Hannah how to wear her mask, and it’s been going okay. I think peer modeling is our best bet as well as positive reenforcement. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">We hit a snag on Day 1. We played with what to do for transport to and from school. We thought about having Tim take the girls to and from since he’s still working from home. But Nora said she wanted to do Extended Day to see friends. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Well, when I went to pick the girls up on Day 1, the caretakers (just every day volunteers) said the girls had a good day. One woman said she remembered Hannah from preschool. Well, as soon as we got outside, Nora started bawling. She claimed everyone was treating Hannah horribly. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Nora managed to get out that the caregivers were treating Hannah like “any other kid.” Well, Nora, that’s what we want! But she said the adults were grabbing Hannah by the arm to direct her, “yelling” at Hannah to get off the stage. The kids sit at tables by grade and Hannah wanted to sit by her sister, so they constantly had to pick Hannah up and take her back to the 1st grade table. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Nora said the other kids would make Hannah parrot words like “poop.” </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">We realized Nora has hit a crossroads; she’s in school with her sister now with a new set of kids who haven’t met Hannah, or maybe anyone with Down syndrome. Nora was carrying the stress of people who didn’t know how to treat her and it really shook her. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">We weren’t prepared for this and it isn’t a situation to tell a child to “tough it out.” We don’t want Nora feeling the weight of having to protect her sister and be consistently stressed out - because Nora is not a chill person. We decided to pivot immediately to Parent Pickup/Drop off. Nora is much happier and now I can be more strategic about these situation and slowly coach Nora. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">I’m not mad at anyone... I think Nora was overwhelmed and most everyone in that room doesn’t know how to navigate/treat behaviors of those with DS. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Cincinnati Children’s has a class for siblings of disability. I spoke with another DS Mom about this and it really helped her older daughter in this exact situation. Now I just need to coax Nora to attend. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">I immediately sent an “About Me” to the specials teachers (art, music, PE) as well as printed one out for Hannah’s classmates. A Mom reached out to me not even a day later to say thank you. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Hannah is the only child with DS at her elementary, I’m not sure if there has been a student with DS in recent years. Education takes time...</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQvBbIoZCP3l3FySxpqkJEwicLHunNRJF_GWR3CBVEwVOe03v6k187gK25RRTSvM2rAL8WEGSd2BkD4WmLP2WHno_4hM0EbU1_yPyHLwr1AG8F70pdmj5lYB4NwXPTWhtTvtXXFiTdhSs/s1800/IMG_6161.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1350" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQvBbIoZCP3l3FySxpqkJEwicLHunNRJF_GWR3CBVEwVOe03v6k187gK25RRTSvM2rAL8WEGSd2BkD4WmLP2WHno_4hM0EbU1_yPyHLwr1AG8F70pdmj5lYB4NwXPTWhtTvtXXFiTdhSs/s320/IMG_6161.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIUJadolF045jFhMCVP6TQ7JJh3RHNYwFylWIv6FfgTIlxHso061pXnSvNt6OZ9hKq84Zf7iAjAR5zFQyQQ5N1PQ9Ji-ph-9e2FQiGDYLE9fdmXx9mq7x9xSRNv_zYx5zPfjZsGRQZGHg/s1528/KronGirls_FirstDay2021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1528" data-original-width="1146" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIUJadolF045jFhMCVP6TQ7JJh3RHNYwFylWIv6FfgTIlxHso061pXnSvNt6OZ9hKq84Zf7iAjAR5zFQyQQ5N1PQ9Ji-ph-9e2FQiGDYLE9fdmXx9mq7x9xSRNv_zYx5zPfjZsGRQZGHg/s320/KronGirls_FirstDay2021.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p>CKronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17098017562465707471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9037437100384911434.post-75546165439795069232021-09-07T13:51:00.005-05:002021-09-07T13:51:29.208-05:00Shower update - Finally! <p><span style="font-family: georgia;"> I have been waiting seven years for this... our primary shower is a nice little space with a skylight. However in the 80s, tile was way too popular. It may look interesting in a shower, but functionally it is a horrible choice. Do you know how much mold and mildew comes along with a shower filled with 1" tiles? Too much to keep up with. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">With the help of Tim’s firefighter brother-in-law who does tile on the side, we slowly made our way to a better shower. Multiple quarantines and vacations and a firefighting schedule drew it out, but we made it! Very happy with the results Big tiles = less grout : ) </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK1lPQicjmRk2RLRTy5OSyMvE0S6iZL2QjyV7AsfQOEzK_Y-fvtQpgv8O-KWlOUHASuSu3ZPfdX0hJkhzOFZOowMbwRdGxG4YVhwU1z9Y7xgMSwcqSpwMZCiJJ25dMgmmyRhYqGZTIWj8/s4032/IMG_5659.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Back when numbers were low, most officials agreed masks could come off or be optional, including schools. Of course people always forget about the kids and the fact that they don’t have the option to be vaccinated yet. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Our district announced prematurely that masks would be optional for school. Well, the Delta variant doesn’t care what you think and has come back full force and has a good amount of us worried. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">We still don’t know if our girls had COVID. Their antibody tests came back negative but my PCP told me those tests are not accurate at all. This whole pandemic is full of uncertainty. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">A group of parents organized ourselves to speak up for a masking mandate at our elementary schools (re: unvaccinated) at an emergency School Board meeting. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">And yes, kids <u>may</u> be fine if they contract the virus. But my child can’t wear a mask well due to her disabilities and features. So I’m being asked to toss my child into the deep end where other families don’t want to mask at school. No mask = quarantine. Mask = no quarantine. You see where I’m going? If Hannah is constantly exposed at school, her education is fractured and she’s already delayed as is. Not to mention the disruption quarantining is for working parents. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">We’ve seen countless states open up schools only to immediately mask up or go virtual after a week or two because so many students are infected.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">So I got my speech ready and presented my case to our School Board. The meeting went on for four hours. It was standing room only and heated - mainly from parents who didn’t want their kids masked. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwiYpKEXs9Hu1anZyBLFMr_y87pDf0f6WuWowWOL9hBn2vXm9KIXXCiuWTzuk9W-alpp5wQDLlJV9VVzogZXfQLYMf76eCAgG5aMW-XMQLmeLtgy3R09Ikdz_lBd7k5BbO3ZArpl61j-A/s2048/Screen+Shot+2021-08-19+at+2.47.38+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1074" data-original-width="2048" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwiYpKEXs9Hu1anZyBLFMr_y87pDf0f6WuWowWOL9hBn2vXm9KIXXCiuWTzuk9W-alpp5wQDLlJV9VVzogZXfQLYMf76eCAgG5aMW-XMQLmeLtgy3R09Ikdz_lBd7k5BbO3ZArpl61j-A/s320/Screen+Shot+2021-08-19+at+2.47.38+PM.png" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Looking back now, it’s interesting how much of us “Pro Masking” parents used the words “we/us/our” and the “Parent Choice” parents used the words “me/my/I.” </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Our School Board voted 4-1 to mandate masks in the elementary schools.

Tim and I are fully vaccinated, infections had gone down. We signed the girls up for Summer Camp - finally some socializing! I was unhappy about the administration taking away any mask mandate, but we were willing to take the risk with summer camp since numbers were down. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">We had started hearing about the Delta variant in July and on a Wednesday, July 14th, Hannah had a really bad cold; stuffy, minor cough, a little snot. A typical Hannah cold. Tim also started getting a sore throat. When the weekend hit, Nora had a barky cough that moved to a wet cough. On Monday I woke up with a raging sore throat. Tim went into what seemed like a normal sinus infection for him. I was sniffly and congested. Then on Thursday, July 22nd I felt like I was hit by a bus of fatigue. I couldn't sit up. This fatigue was like nothing I’d had before and came out of the blue. I was thankfully WFH and thought “Geez, maybe I should get a COVID test?”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">I found an Urgent Care with rapid tests. After waiting for 15 minutes after my swab, the doctor on call stood in the corner of the room and immediately asked if I was vaccinated. “Yes?” Her face fell and she tossed her papers in the air with a look of defeat: “I don’t know what to do anymore.” My test was positive. I left in shock then anger and called Tim and my Mom sobbing and angry. We have been doing everything to be a team player this entire pandemic and now we were infected. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdhHYXVnGj7pXXXKZ5kzbEqFQosHTwFkGeGtzzEMvTmIqXSPjSE__3C9zzu7CHvvW4CIWUhaXcAt0xk9TzJGKHCoFijzbPh4mBmMEktAs3EOkwIln_Mvjy6qSVdp2pjHFKXxGKqTORgjU/s4032/IMG_6027.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdhHYXVnGj7pXXXKZ5kzbEqFQosHTwFkGeGtzzEMvTmIqXSPjSE__3C9zzu7CHvvW4CIWUhaXcAt0xk9TzJGKHCoFijzbPh4mBmMEktAs3EOkwIln_Mvjy6qSVdp2pjHFKXxGKqTORgjU/s320/IMG_6027.HEIC" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Tim tested hours after me and was also positive - all his symptoms had resided. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">We were quarantined for 10 days after our first symptoms. The next day we got the girls both rapid and PCR tests - both came back negative which baffled us. Was their viral load less b.c they were younger? Had we waited too long to test them? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Unfortunately, because they tested negative, the girls’ quarantine of 10 days didn’t start until mine was over. The county health dept assumes that they can still catch it from me on my last day of quarantine. Our poor girls were home for 17 days. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju_QNqZZNNGEnLpVFWM6nyMb0gmIgM4oa87y-Catc9-B3VhQQVtPtzD8ED4KTvCXJ49yyVTwmm2DMzvHwPcfSX9WJuUlzLT1TgI4e943MkVaXNom0Q1nUPdxtdvkor035eaYFS0DLYAx4/s3088/IMG_6055.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2316" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju_QNqZZNNGEnLpVFWM6nyMb0gmIgM4oa87y-Catc9-B3VhQQVtPtzD8ED4KTvCXJ49yyVTwmm2DMzvHwPcfSX9WJuUlzLT1TgI4e943MkVaXNom0Q1nUPdxtdvkor035eaYFS0DLYAx4/s320/IMG_6055.HEIC" width="240" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">We had to cancel a large friend’s camping trip, a concert night, I had to cancel a Mom’s Night Out. It truly ruined the end of our summer. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">They went back to their summer camp on Monday August 9th. On Tuesday Aug 10th I got a call from Summer Camp that Hannah’s aide had tested positive and to come pick her up and quarantine her for another 10 days. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">I lost my shit. I screamed and cried and was inconsolable for an hour. My child needs socialization and it keeps getting yanked from her. Is this how school was going to go if she can’t wear a mask well? Just a constant stream of exposure quarantines that completely disrupt her education and our work days? (This will be a story for another time)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Hannah showed no signs and thankfully tested negative - this got her out of quarantine in 7 days instead of 10 and she was able to start on the 1st day of school. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Hannah has been in quarantine for 24 days in the past month. We are tired of being home.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>CKronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17098017562465707471noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9037437100384911434.post-89708094823303687352021-07-13T14:42:00.002-05:002021-07-13T14:42:32.602-05:00Annual Cardiology Appt<p><span style="font-family: georgia;"> Hannah had her annual checkup - she’s in good shape, so no changes for a year.

Here’s the thing. Kids with Down syndrome can act out when they aren’t being stimulated in a directed way, or if there isn’t enough structure. Some kids with DS want to play with others and when the other kids ignore, kids with DS can hit and push. My friend is frustrated because our summer camp doesn’t have educated employees who know how to maneuver this. Instead, kids with DS tend to be pushed out or never let into camps in the first place.</span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I know families who were straight up told their children with DS were a liability. I have countless Moms tell me this is an unmet need and no solutions. Every family seems to have a horrible story of exclusion from childcare, me <a href="https://kronology2011.blogspot.com/2019/02/our-first-discrimination.html" target="_blank">included</a>. </span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: georgia;">It makes my heart ache how every year I see handfuls of families ask where they can take their child with disabilities for summer care for working parents. We are turned away because our kids aren’t potty trained. We are turned away because their behavior is “bad.” Spoiler alert: it’s not bad behavior, it’s an environment that isn’t quite structured enough or staff who aren’t educated on disabilities. We are turned away because “we just don’t have the staff to have an extra eye on your child.” </span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I’m tired of feeling sad and helpless for our kids. These aren’t special needs - these are human needs. My friends and I dream of a day where our kids aren’t turned away. We dream of organizations who have one-on-one attention for our kids. Maybe the staff gets college credit? Maybe the organization is funded by the state? Can our county train organizations and employees? I don’t know the answer, but I hope to start making steps towards truer inclusive childcare. </span></div></div><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;">Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

The first day was beautiful - we went to a local Nature Center where they had animals in rehabilitation. Until birds starting cawing and Hannah saw the animals and noted right out of there. Grammy sat with Hannah until we enjoyed all the animals; coyote, owls, crows, fox, hawks and even a bald eagle! </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTriyhdEp2EuTVolOeCjE-U3HPBk7txBHzIOvaLJFdpCLVS547D9Tx6NLgRcs21iowdjst8QNsAHj0XqZd3XepLtWzMopg98CniVZQ35nTXG1W4O5B6MDZKN7M_sEeLrJMlOpQBrmsLzw/s4032/IMG_5579.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I had signed up for the Flying Pig 3-Way with Extra Cheese: during non-pandemic times, that means a 1-mile race Friday evening, a 10K immediately followed by a 5K Saturday morning, then a half marathon Sunday morning. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">With the entire world shifting, I lost all motivation and just stopped, going back down to my 3 miles 3X a week. I didn’t know how I’d ever get the motivation to get back to all those miles with no in-person racing. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Like most of the nation, I fell into a funk... definitely ate and drank my way through my sadness. Once fall 2020 hit I was tired of being tired and had to shake myself up. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">I had been a part of a "Fit-Minded" Moms group who all have kids with DS. One woman in particular has been a trainer for 17 years and has her own small business. She had a new year special for her 20-minute workouts through an app. I started in December and immediately got hooked. It was the perfect amount of time and I really liked her personality - not the annoying in-your-face type trainer. Her schedule mixed up whole body strength, legs, arms, core, cardio and stretching. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid0AkwJOd_4A_K1zH-1tbMJFbzT_dzzGsTuk-3Rf3xpXOFrsCq1ue628RYjTpCx_psQo7xo62zbvHVm9X_9w5YQA3fKrOereLf1__pVTZKppYqnpAbX6p2BGKobOgPDk3km6cyMvAWw5o/s1800/IMG_5265.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="832" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid0AkwJOd_4A_K1zH-1tbMJFbzT_dzzGsTuk-3Rf3xpXOFrsCq1ue628RYjTpCx_psQo7xo62zbvHVm9X_9w5YQA3fKrOereLf1__pVTZKppYqnpAbX6p2BGKobOgPDk3km6cyMvAWw5o/s320/IMG_5265.PNG" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">In addition to the new strength training, I also stopped snacking at night. I barely drink wine anymore and have swapped to a couple seltzers on a weekend night. While some people scoff, I do practice intermittent fasting most of the week. I like it and helps me feel less bloaty. Perimenopause during the pandemic hasn’t helped. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Slowly but surely I’ve felt stronger. And even more - I’ve become about 45 seconds faster in my running - ! I’m almost embarrassed I waited so long to strength train. It clearly has so many benefits, especially as a women in perimenopause. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Throughout my training, my pace has been under 11 minutes per mile - which has not happened the past two years. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">This past Saturday I did my “official” 10K and had a 10:11 pace - ! I set my own PR (personal record). This morning I wasn’t planning on doing my Pig 5K, but I woke up earlier than my alarm and started strong and decided to push it - I ended up doing my 5K with a 9:34 pace! Now I just need to see how my half marathon goes!</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1mRTXYy5CaSZ07jZqlV5WyWvn-ZEVcdxyYg0MCvSe2BfJ_LMKKJRKGPP54kumbcKz4265r6WjX_arLcQ8cTm0MrLgsXzIwsHU3WKGK_vYvLDTii1dolF1sPVS8JTqva5HDI6kmF_lctk/s1800/IMG_5245.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1350" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1mRTXYy5CaSZ07jZqlV5WyWvn-ZEVcdxyYg0MCvSe2BfJ_LMKKJRKGPP54kumbcKz4265r6WjX_arLcQ8cTm0MrLgsXzIwsHU3WKGK_vYvLDTii1dolF1sPVS8JTqva5HDI6kmF_lctk/s320/IMG_5245.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU5CmdClI11wdSSRW75ljNWRqSFHBeiTEiIwUGDZ1L_sZbsRxUXRl2ytq0ewpwDfpj_xWLbCbH_YXH9yeJiO7moOdERGQvE_E1tDUUs6IFfeOCD3ZcYO-ijS50e1Ya2MuEsl7WCLckvvQ/s1800/IMG_5246.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1350" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU5CmdClI11wdSSRW75ljNWRqSFHBeiTEiIwUGDZ1L_sZbsRxUXRl2ytq0ewpwDfpj_xWLbCbH_YXH9yeJiO7moOdERGQvE_E1tDUUs6IFfeOCD3ZcYO-ijS50e1Ya2MuEsl7WCLckvvQ/s320/IMG_5246.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXA_o8WPnhTiRwCX4Iju_fRwKjG3Ltk7szkx0cRXAchQ3VQhL7g4Tdp3t3Qx3BrsZ7gP4Tjr1qQjEuZISVGSNpxFQUeZD7yaM28-7nH15bRncsahxaq5aKC36Bc0RUTbUsGA6m2WBN-JI/s1800/IMG_5266.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1350" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXA_o8WPnhTiRwCX4Iju_fRwKjG3Ltk7szkx0cRXAchQ3VQhL7g4Tdp3t3Qx3BrsZ7gP4Tjr1qQjEuZISVGSNpxFQUeZD7yaM28-7nH15bRncsahxaq5aKC36Bc0RUTbUsGA6m2WBN-JI/s320/IMG_5266.jpg" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">I’m so proud of the work I’ve put in and have been enjoying running again with my lifestyle changes 💗</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">*I ran my half and it went... okay.
