<-- might be rethinking the blood pressure medication <--'s doctor has prescribed (the lowest dose) to protect <--'s kidneys
<-- had no problems actually donating
<-- just ate a whole bag of salt & vinegar chips for "lunch"
<-- is LOL at herself
<-- is heading off to the kitchen in search of cake before a nice long nap
<-- thinks Mel should give Wil 1-2 more days and then if the casts are still scream-worthy, call his doc as there may be a problem with them

<-- can't believe <-- ate that whole bag (ew!)
<-- says it was "only" 5 servings, LOL

<-- is really glad to hear that Wil felt okay going in
<-- remembers drawing photos of needles going into <-- skin when <-- was 10 in the hospital just diagnosed with diabetes

<-- appreciates Wil's humor for the same reason, and finds it heartbreaking at the same time
<-- asks Melody to please give Wil an extra special squishy but not too tight hug for <--?
<-- understands being a kid with the weight of the world on you

<-- hopes Wil can sleep and eat donuts for at least 2 more days
<-- has not forgotten Mac or Lee (or MrMel) either and <-- wants to know how they are doing too please

<---says the boys share a bedroom set up bunkroom style on the main floor as all their toys etc are in the playroom
<---has for now placed will on the pull out sofa bed in the great room area so that he is visible and accessible from all main areas of the house and does not keep his brothers awake at night

<---will move him back to his bedroom when he's feeling better

<---has made a bed with the sofa cushions on floor next to Wil
<---hopes by tomorrow night Wil will be better and sleeping arrangements can be a leetle bit more normal

<-- tends to get a new person each time who just doesn't get about the diabetes thing despite the doc's note on file saying it's all good
<-- had a fave one today who asked: is the note for the diabetes or is it for the insulin?
<-- responded: I have trouble having one of those without the other
<-- then had to endure her getting a leettle huffy with <--
<-- tried to think of Robin and how she might treat <-- but even <-- knew Robin would have found the retort amusing :p
<-- needs your help thinking about Lee and Mac, as <-- thinking of them through all of this apparently isn't enough
<-- wants to know if Mel asked them Halloween or April Fool's Day
<-- likes naps
<-- is glad there is only 1 bootcamp Monday instead of all 3 and it's at 7am so <-- can sleep until 6!
<-- hates one more day without mail, though

<-- adores how she sleeps like that
<-- had more to say but <-- got distracted, sorry
