Nick's turn...

Nick says to me last night..."Is 'ammonia' contagious?"

*sigh*

I listened to his back with my EAR, and could hear tightness. So we went to an after hours care place, and his O2 was 95. After a breathing treatment made a slight difference, they DX'd him with bronchitis, and gave him a scrip for an inhaler and steroids. He thinks he's gonna bulk up, and thinks the inhaler is the coolest thing...good grief...

Emma is feeling better, but still wheezy, and not much color in her face. In the ER her O2 sats, were 92. Oh my hell, I wish I could express to you how much I don't want to go somewhere...AGAIN! But my baby girl is more important than my annoyances...

I'll keep ya posted!

FYI

There are 2 new kid isms, and I started another blog, of the old ones, and will continue to add to it, and put my favs on this main one!! It's at the bottom on the left...if you didn't know!

Enjoy!

Illness Update

My sweet baby girl woke up at about 5 am whimpering. When she is sick, she sleeps with me...for this purpose. I reached over, and she was absolutely on fire. I didn't take her temp, but I'm sure it was at least 104. She was talking to herself, and beyond miserable. I got her a cool cloth for her forehead, and gave her motrin, AND tylenol, and a drink. I just prayed , and prayed, it would bring her fever down. We fell back to sleep, and woke up about 45 minutes later, and she said, "Mommy, I'm sweaty!" YAY!!!! So we took off her jammie top, and went back to sleep.

I got up later and was out of the bedroom talking to daddy, when I heard her coughing. I ran back in, and there she was...sitting up, smiling, with PINK cheeks, and said, "Hi Mom!!" Oh my heck, I almost cried! She has totally turned the corner, after ONE dose of the new meds! She is still sick, but SO much better!!

I am feeling great. Sometimes I feel bad telling people I have pneumonia. Just a gross cough still, being VERY productive- if you know what I mean.

Both boys stayed home from school. *sigh* They are just stuffed up, so I'm pumping them up with vitamins, and airborne.

Guess what?

Yep, you guessed it. Emma. Her Dr. put her on antibiotics on Monday, but last night, she still wasn't even a little better. I tried to convince them, something else was up, but they said to give it one more day. I finally decided today to take her up to PCMC- ER, and sure enough, Walking Pneumonia. And the stuff she was on before, doesn't work on that...hence the fact she wasn't getting better. For pete's sake, why can they NOT LISTEN TO ME!!?!?!?!!?

Oh well, she has her new one, and hopefully will start feeling better soon. I am feeling MUCH better, coughing up lots of yummy stuff. But that's good right?? *rolling eyes* And DH is still feeling crappy, but has gone back to work.

Now Parker's nose is stuffy. *sigh* I think I'm going to get a standing order for the Z pack, all 3 of us are on it!

Oh, and I wanted to tell you of the small miracle that happened on the way home from the hospital. My gas light was on, and I should have gotten gas on the way up there. It's about 18 miles. But I was so worried about her, I forgot. Then on the way home, amid all the "she has pneumonia" phone calls, I forgot again. So I was driving down the freeway, and just before an exit to get home, the car chugged. I was talking to my friend, and said, "Oh no, I'm running out of gas." So I went to get off the freeway, and just before the light at the exit, it stopped. Dead. I knew DH would be mad. Hello...it IS my fault. So I called, and he was in the middle of something, and said, "I'll call you right back." Poor little Emma, said, "Uh Mom, what are we gonna do?"

So I tried to turned the car on, in hopes the fumes or something would get me the .2 miles to the gas station. (there was a sign right where the car stopped) It started!!! AND made it to the gas station. Well waddaya know...I guess someone IS watching out for me!!!

How sweet it is...

So I went to the pharmacy(in the grocery store)...for the um...I think 4th time in a 10 or so days, to get my antibiotics. I was there the day after Halloween, and they had 8 carts FULL of left over candy. Oh how I love it when they over buy. So they had those reese's pumpkins, YUM!, for 34 cents. I think I have had around 5. On my many trips... I've also noticed the jumbo bag of reese's was on sale for $3.49. Still too much for me, for candy.

So today... since I was handed this sickness on a platter, I decided to buy the d*mn candy, as a treat!!! Guess what... they were on sale...AGAIN...for $1.79!!

WAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So do you think I can live off Reese's Peanut Butter cups, till I get better? Come one...it's peanut butter...protein right?

*sigh*
