It's Me, Derek

Hi everyone! Some of you know I have been sick. I learned yesterday that I have an ear infection. It is funny, too, because just two days before that when the doctor checked my ears, they were fine. I also have a respiratory infection and it makes it hard to breathe. I breathe kind of fast and loud. Then, about 20 minutes after I have some medicine, I feel better for a little bit and it makes me happy. The things that make this hard are when I have to take my medicine and when I have to have a nebulizer treatment. Boy, I hate both those things! I cry and my chin and lips quiver. Everybody just keeps telling me those things are going to make be better. I sure hope so! I haven't been sleeping well at all either. Yesterday, my dad took me for a long ride in the car and I got a little sleep. Later, I learned Dad got a little nap too, but he pulled over for that. Meanwhile, Mom was getting a rest and gramma was playing with Davey. He gave her a workout! They played ALL day! I heard Davey say to Daddy when they were standing in the kitchen, "Daddy, I love gramma!" Gramma heard it too and boy did it make her smile! When it was time for gramma to go home, Davey brought her her coat and told her to have a good seepy and sweet dreams. I think Dad, Mom and gramma were surprised to hear him say those things. Then he hugged gramma and I saw him pat and rub her shoulder. That made her smile even more. And, then, he walked her to the front door. I think she drove home smiling the whole way!
