Second year Day 80 - Sunday March 3, 2013

So, last night I was up late.  I had checked the weather report and the roads look bad from at least Butte to Idaho Falls (a lot of the way!).  There's a big storm blowing through tomorrow and that's not great news.  I went to bed feeling very unsettled and at length decided that we could not travel today.  I don't fancy being on bad roads, white knuckled, with two daughters in marginal health!  It was all for the best I guess, as Bridgett was in SO much pain today!  Her neck was just killing her and the pain was at least 6, going up to 7.  We did the rice bag, mag phos, natural calm, massages, Advil and finally Lortab.  I'm so glad we weren't in the car for this episode!  Stephany on the other hand seemed fine.  I'm a little raw from everything, but hey!  That's life sometimes!  You gotta grin and bear it some days!  It's hard as the mom--because when your kids are in pain, you are too!  When Bridgett's pain gets bad and she starts to whimper and "cry",  I almost cry too!  She has such a high pain tolerance, I know that it's really bad!  I called and cancelled the hotel for tonight and we'll see about what happens with our trip.
