Oh my!

Winter germs stink.  Jack had to go for a chest x-ray -- results should be in first thing in the morning.  Morgan has a double ear infection.  I am utterly exhausted after our outing today.  I love Jack's new wheelchair ut it's as heavy as a house.  Okay, I am making that last part up -- but it's really heavy!  The children did not feel well, they were feverish and anxious to be at the doctor's office.  Jack kept asking me if they were going to look at his pee pee...poor kid is afraid of the catheter test -- I don't blame him one bit!  I told him we were there to make his cough all better and he seemed to relax a bit.

The x-ray tech was really nice but a little out of it.  I told Jack we were going to take a picture of his "belly" and the tech was confused and said "no, actually it's of his lungs" and I had to explain how Jack understands what a belly is, but not lungs.  It took a lot of finagling but we finally got the metal plate behind him to be able to take the x-rays.  Morgan screamed bloody murder the entire time we were there.  I felt like everyone was looking at me as though we were not fit to be in public.  I did say to one nurse that both kids are not feeling well -- I mean they were great as far as cooperating and stuff, just a little sick and tired of being there!  Some days I wish I could have a meltdown right in public -- but I really think someone would try to take the kids or something...lol, only kidding.

So it was rough.  Really, really rough.  But we're home and "all done" and tomorrow is a total jammies day!  Also, I just placed an order at Mama's Pizza for dinner!!  

Will keep you posted! Thanks for all of your comments and well wishes!  I have so much I want to comment back to so many of you -- I'm getting there!!

Lots of love!

  2. Wow, you deserved that pizza! AND a drink. I know, sometimes you just feel like wailing, too, when both of your kids have a simultaneous meltdown. It's funny, I sort of expect more of Sabrina (my 3-year-old), when Max (who has cp) is losing it I just wrongly feel that she should hold up her end of things. But, she is only 3.

    As Scarlett O'Hara once wisely said, "Tomorrow IS another day!" (Um, I don't usually quote Scarlett O'Hara, just so you know).

    You poor thing, you! Lucky Daddys get to go to work, outside the house!!!! I can sympathize with you on the catheter test. Tara had to have them when she was little like Jack. They had to sedate her to do them, she was that panicked when we drove up to the doctors office. Hope all are feeling better real soon and you get some well deserved rest. Have that drink (or 2 or 3) and relax.

    Best wishes and love to all,
