Day of thanks days 5 and 6

I was running behind last night and got so tired I forgot to post >< so I am making up for today and posting both days on here.
Day 5
I would like to say that today I am thankful for Jason's health being in manageable condition. Last winter Jason's health was in really bad shape, and I dont mean bad as in a bad cold or anything like that. I mean bad as in from Jan.to May there were a total of atleast six hospital visits, and a minimal of 18 breathing treatments. Lets also not forget the 10 inhalers that we went through. Those are not cheap at all. This fall and winter how ever his health is doing much better being that we have gotten rid of the main reason for his asthma flare ups and him floating back and forth from having pneumonia and bronchitis. The reason being that he was in a smoke filled building. Nope this year that issue has been eliminated. His asthma still acts up, but with the thanks to having a gym membership and us actually being able to use it of course and the elimination of the smoke in the environment he is doing MUCH better. :) So far so good and it is also by the grace of God that he is doing better as well. I am very grateful to God for that.

Day 6
I am grateful for having such very sweet residents to work with. I think that on my floor I have some of the sweetest people that I work with. Their smiles make me smile and that is the best reward that I could ever ask for. Today I was at work and talking to one and she had told me that I am her favorite aid. I have to admit that was the highlight of my night and it just made me smile a little more tonight. It also made me tear up because I don't think I have ever heard that from anyone til tonight. You know some of the best rewards in life for me are the ones that don't cost anything. I can honestly say that I have the most rewarding job that I have ever had before. Just seeing my residents smile makes me smile. I love them so much, and tonight I got the best reminder as to why I am there. I am very grateful to God for that, and could not ask for a better job :) Well I will talk to you later.
