Have you ever had one of those days when just about everything going on
around is putting you on edge?
That's me right now at this second.
Dot has come down with something and we aren't sure what it is. We took
her to the doctors yesterday and they say that it could be pneumonia because
they aren't hearing any breath sounds coming from a part of her lungs, or since
one of the kids in her class came down with whooping cough it could be that.
She is at this minute down at the hospital getting chest X-rays and testing.
She's already on antibiotics though.
On top her Dot being sick, EB is home because he's vomiting and at times has a
very mild fever. And now on top of that LB is home with a stuffy head and
a low fever as well.
But those aren't the things that are annoying me, they are the causes of things
that are annoying me.
See Hubby took Dot to get her chest X-ray and testing done, he needed to take
her health card and hospital card with him. Before he left I told him they
were on the wall unit. He took neither, so now he's going to get down
there get told sorry can't do anything and have to come home. And somehow
it will be all my fault.
I tried to call his cell phone to tell him of the mistake (moments after him
leaving) only to discover he left his phone home. I know this because I
left a voice message, and what that means is that every 30 seconds or so his
phone lets off this very loud high pitched beep/ringing noise. It's highly
annoying and I don't know how to make it stop. I've tried putting stuff
over it to muffle it but the damn thing is so loud and it's driving me insane
and putting me on edge. It's like a form of torture and it's working.
Then, sitting beside me as I type this is my son EB. He's playing that
stupid game of Crazy Frog. I don't know why I ever showed him that damn
video because he's been obsessed with all things to do with the Frog ever since.
And now I'm forced to sit here and listen to his stupid music and crap.
So that's more stuff that's putting me on edge.
And then there is LB. He doesn't want to eat anything, but he does want me to make the food and attempt to feed it to him because he gets a real kick out of turning his head and refusing to ingest anything right now.
Oh Thank the stars above, Hubby just came home to get Dots card and not only did he fix that stupid phone, he's taken it with him. One annoyance resolved, now if only I can determine a way to stop my son's insanity over the Frog and everything shall be good because I can deal with LB's stupid food fun. It's not a biggy, it's only getting to me because of the stupid phone's beepiness and the Frog's high annoyance level.
Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I have to write about Dot and her
illness.
I think that this has to be the very first time in my life that I have ever
hoped for my child to have a case of one bad ass illness because the other
option is just too horrible. It's strange for me to be hoping that she has
pneumonia. See Dot has asthma, pretty bad asthma it would seem. And
she's been struggling to breath and hasn't mentioned a word of it to anyone.
She hasn't even looked like she was struggling.
What symptoms she was displaying were low to high fever, flushed face and a
cough that came and went. She was a bit off on Saturday but by the evening
she seemed fine so we took her to the Circus on Sunday. Big mistake. When
we got home she got a high fever, honestly it was like someone had lit her on
fire. Her face was flushed bright red and even the whites of her eyes were
red.
Then yesterday she began to cough again. And let me tell you this was a
nasty cough, raspy and rattley and she was wheezing between them. That's
when she told me that one of the boys in her class has whooping cough. I
had gotten a letter home almost a month ago warning that Whooping Cough was
present in her school, but her school is an enormous place and I wasn't
concerned. Then when that cough developed and she told me it was a boy in
her class, well my paranoia rating began to sky rocket.
I called the nurse at the Doctors office and she said that we should most
definitely come in, so we booked an appointment for later in the day and whoosh
we headed on up.
Oh have I mentioned that both Hubby and I are feeling like crap right now as
well? Man, since Christmas it's been one illness after another.
There hasn't been a week that we haven't had someone home sick, and that really
sucks. Next week is March Break, that means that the kids will be home
every day for certain. I was hoping to have this week with them all at
school every day of the week so I could get the house cleaned and in order
before the brat battalion is present to destroy and run amok throughout the
house.
Damn, my bad luck! Not only am I not having them all at school, but I'm
having them all home sick. I think that they planned this so that way they
could all get an extra long holiday.
