Sick Of Being SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's this I see out my window tonite? SNOW??? AGAIN?!?!?! COME ON!!!!!!!
For the last 4 weeks (yes, you read right, I said F-O-U-R), Skylar has been sick. One of those weeks, Kotah was sick, then Gavin, and Curt and I as well. So at one point and time, we were all sick! I got the kids into the doc 2 Fridays ago, I think... I didn't need to take Dakotah, she was pretty much over hers, and I had some med's for her that were working!!! The doc told me that Gavin had an ear infection, kinda figured that. This poor kid has had his share of ear infections!!! So he gave me some amox for him. He also told me that when a child takes any kind of blow to the head, his immune system is WAY down and he can pick up any type of virus or infection that is out there. So.... Since he had that nice black eye, could be the reason, or it could be that his name is Gavin and he likes to get ear infections! I dunno! So he said he wanted to see him in 10 days. Then he got to Skylar. I am thinking, just give me something for her cough and runny nose so I can get outta here!!! He listened to her and said that she is in the beginning stages of asthma. I am like what? Didn't expect to hear that!!! So he said he would prescribe a liquid medicince to give her everytime she was wheezy, but ONLY when she was wheezy. So we finally pack up and make another appointment in 10 days for Gavin and out to door to Target to get the prescriptions filled. I drop them off, go back in 20 minutes all to find out that they won't fill Skylars. I am like why? They said she was too young. I am left standing there, now what am I going to do? I just figured I would get the medicine, give it to her and be done. So after many more phone calls that day, we get the nebulizer. Go back after supper to get the "solution" to put in it. Come home and give it a try. So sits still for the first three days that she really needs it. She also figured out how to put her tongue into the mouth piece and make a really funny noise and make a super slobbery mess! So I decided to take it apart and just have the mist blowing in her face. Better than nothin right? I did it a couple more times, but it wasn't worth the fight. Go back to the doc today with Gavin and Skylar (Skylar too so I can talk to the doc about the whole nebulizer!) We get in there the student doc checks him out, says his left ear is still pretty red. Then the doc comes and takes one look in his ear and says that we need to give him some Augmention. Guess what? We get to do BACK in another 10 days to see if this clears it up!!!!!! Then I ask about the nebulizer and get that whole mess cleared up. (We were paying it month to month, come to find out, it should be ours to keep with no month to month payment!) So tonite I give the kids tortialls with cheese in the middle. Skylar starts wheezing (not bad, but a little) after eating. Then I go to take her clothes off for a bath and see a nice little rash all over her belly and a little on her hands. I was kinda thinking that this asthma may be due to a food allergy, I was also thinking milk. She seemed to wheeze more when she was drinking milk. I just figured it was due to the cold and cough that I so thought she had! So I will start writing down what she ate and if she was wheezy afterward and when I take Gavin back to the doc, I will take Skylar again and talk about a food allergy. But I need to figure out if it is milk or if this is just asthma and it will pass. Who knows?

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Update on Dad...

Mom called a little while ago. Dad will be admitted, they aren't sure yet what caused the pain. He had fever, but it now is broken. He is also a little jaundice, so that is why they were/are thinking that his stent moved... They had to poke him 3 different times to try and get an IV in, his veins were so tight because he was in so much pain, he was tensing up. They took some blood from both arms and are still waiting on the results of that. They also did a chest x-ray. So still waiting, but atleast he isn't in any pain. The gave him a shot of morphine to take care of the pain, and it finally worked.
