Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is doing much better than I was yesterday and Sunday night but I am not 100% back to myself just yet. I am so sorry that I didn't write to you yesterday but I just couldn't. Let me explain: Sunday evening I wrote to you before it was time to feed the pups and make dinner ourselves. I felt ok but by the time it was dinner, Mom wasn't hungry and I was so tired. I went upstairs and crawled into bed. I was fighting to stay awake and by 8 pm I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer. I gave the remote to Mark and I laid down. Now granted before this, Mom was so cold. I had a sweater on and all the blankets and I was still cold. My stomach was in knots and I had bad cramps. when I laid down at 8 pm I fell right to sleep but woke up at 9 pm or so. I didn't know if I was going to be sick or not so I got up to go to the bathroom and brought the bucket back with me. Mark stayed up until 10 pm watching TV. I never got sick but there were times I thought I would. I slept for crap even though I was extremely tired. Mom had a fever for sure. Yesterday, Mom stayed in bed all day. I was up at 11:30 am and took Tylenol to help with the fever. I watched TV all day long with the pups right next to me. Mom's diagnoses is heat/sun stroke...ugh!  Aunt Beck called in the afternoon to say hello. We chatted for an hour and then Mom was exhausted. I made my way downstairs at 5 pm and I fed the pups slowly. Meme had made soup so I had a little bit of it. It tasted good! Mark took the pups out for a walk on his own and Mom went back upstairs. He was surprised with a cutover last night so Mark worked until 8 pm. Mom watched a movie and then Mark and I watched a couple shows. I was tired so I laid down at 9:30 pm. I slept okay but not the greatest. My back was really hurting me. I couldn't get comfortable. I did manage to get a bit of sleep though. Today, Mom is just sore from laying in bed all day and my back and side still hurts. I got up at 7 am and fed the pups and then made the bed and took a much needed shower. I have been sitting in my office chair all day. I am in pain but nothing I can't handle. I am fever free now so that is all that matters. I finally ate something after 2 days of not eating. Everything is good with the stomach now. Mom is on the mend. Hopefully some good sleep tonight and I will be my bubbly self tomorrow. 
 Right now I am listening to my webinars for my CEUs. I need to listen to 15 of them this week. That is 30 hrs for me to get my recertification. It is a pain but it is worth it and it is free for Mom. Mark is working, Bob has been playing his game all day long and Meme has been watching TV and going outside. It is brutal out there. We are in the high 90's for the rest of the week. Mom is going to stay out of the sun for a few days! I think my body needs a good break. I will try again this weekend but I will use my head and not stay out so long. 
 No one is going anywhere at all. we are in lockdown. Only things that are open are gas stations and grocery stores. They now have limited hours that they are open. We have a curfew in our county. The President said that this week will be the worst. It will determine how many cases are out there. Ones who didn't know they have had it will show the signs and symptoms. This is scary stuff and nothing to mess around with. No one can go visit family and friends in the hospital unless they are dying. Everything is being done via skype now. Bob can't go to his appointments at all and basically is self quarantined due to him being high-risk. No one is going out. we are saving gas money and saving in general by not doing things but we are still dishing a lot of money out for bills. we are all doing the best we can. Aunt Beck is doing a lot of healing work on us all. I know you are watching over and protecting us as well too. Mom is thankful to both of you. I love you so much and I miss you beyond anything. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. To infinity and beyond my sweet precious son. You will forever be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. You live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom lit a candle for you last night and whispered to you so I hope you heard me. I will do it all again tonight. Smile for me and I will smile for you. I know you are super busy and doing all kinds of great things where you are. I am so proud of you, Ty. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you while I am listening to more webinars. Have fun tonight if you can while Mom sleeps. Come visit if you can in my dreams, pumpkin. For now, Mom is going to close up this letter so I can finish listening to these things. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams later this evening.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah ❤
