solo surviving

I had to run to the doctors first thing this morning. Solo. With ALL three kids!

Why is it that walk-in hours are always insanely early?! I swear someone has a sick sense of humor! They're getting a kick outta watching us make-up-less & frazzled with snotty nosed children in tow. At the break of dawn! Living on yesterday's coffee!

Anyway...

Trevy has been really out of sorts this week. Clingy & cranky. And whacking at his ears. Plus night waking. More than usual. Before IS he slept through the night like a champ...ever since he wakes at least twice a night. Maybe someday a full-nights sleep is waiting for us....

::sigh::

Turns out no ear infection...but lots of gunk blocking the tubes. Dr. Pedi kindly removed all the sticky-ickies from my very uncooperative and super strong 16 month old. And ordered special drops for the next five days. Hope it works! We would love to go back to the land of twice a night wakings!

Bristel wasn't feeling good...but checked out fine.

And I had to drop off a tinkle specimen...to make sure my kidney's have ousted the infection. Although the throbbing in my lower left back has me worried. Ugh!



I'm proud to say...I made it! Just fine!


Now for that pot o' coffee!

I am throbbing like crazy! Ugh! I'm afraid it's WORSE than a k-infection! I can call for results in, like, 15 mins. And am I ever counting em' down!

hope everything turns out ok for ya. although the fact that you are still throbbing is a little worrisome for me. glad to hear trevor's ears are ok. we had to end up taking Connor to the ER while we were in ohio...not seizures related, but croup!! I too long for the nights of a peaceful sleep. tee hee!!

Poor Connor! The croup...yuck! I'm not sure what's going on with me...they said the labs came back norm...but my whole lower right side is tender. Sitting hurts...moving hurts...bending hurts...something has to be wrong! Ugh!

Here's to a peaceful sleep for all!

Wow! You're amazing! Three kids to the Dr alone? That's usually a disaster waiting to happen. Glad to hear everyone is better than anticipated. Have you ever considered chiropractic care for ears? It works so well....keeps everything open & flowing.
lol..coffee...I don't drink it & often wish I did, my cousin (who is a mother of 4) told me that "coffee makes you a better parent"!:)
Hope your back & test results are well.

I cried when I got the news

I felt like such a heel not going with Trevy for his first post hemi EEG. Yeeeeeees...Jonathan went with him. Yeeeeeees...he's just as good as me. But still! He's my baby! I was instead sitting on floor 6 east waiting for Neurology to get their boots here and help me sort out this medicine mess! Seriously it's like a bad joke...how many Neurologists does it take to write a bloody script? And fax prior authorizations? Cause Trevy's been back for hours now. And I'm STILL waiting! Anyway... Jonathan had just stepped out to meet the pizza delivery guy when Dr. EEG made his rounds. Of course I asked immediately if he had read the EEG. Of course he had. That's why he was there afterall. And I cried when he told me... that for the first time in almost two years. For the first time since this whole crazy mess began. my baby's EEG is completely normal! Side Note: It's super fun to sob in front of Japanese men and watch them squirm When I kept repeati...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...

it's like being asked to the prom...

only MUCH MUCH bigger! I had noticed (yes...I stalk my site meter!) that a government ISP had logged onto Trevor's blog. Whoever it was had spent a good deal of time hanging out too. Followed a few minutes later by a government ISP...hailing from Washington. As in DC! My eyebrow raised. It was just kinda odd. Note-able odd. You know? Anyway...later that day (last week) I was folding laundry & thinking my crazy insane thoughts. Along these lines... I hope I'm not saying anything I shouldn't! Maybe I made somebody mad? Wait a minute! I live in America! I'm allowed to say anything I want! Aren't I???? A shout from the other room interrupted my thoughts before I had a chance to further mull. It was Jonathan. I had just received an email. **Side note...he's always doing that! Reading my emails! Sheesh!*** The said email was from a US Senator's aide! Asking if he could speak with me. Little ole' hardly has time to splash some make-up on ...
