Here are the reasons why I am so TIRED!!!
1. JUSTIN IS GONE!
2. Wade was diagnosed with pneumonia 4 weeks ago. Yes, that is his 3rd time just this year. He had it 3 times last year too. He missed a whole week of school! The doctors don't know why he keeps getting pneumonia so often.
3. JUSTIN IS GONE!
4. Two weeks ago Luke woke up barely breathing. So I checked him for bites or rashes, fever, anything that might let me know why he was having trouble breathing. NOTHING! So I put him in the car and went to Urgent Care. The doctor took one look at him and told me to get to the hospital. So off we went. In the ER they took x-rays, gave oxygen and a breathing treatment. He was diagnosed with bronchial and lung spasms. It was just a fluke thing that he caught. It is usually seen in elderly patients. So I had to give him breathing treatments every 3 hours no matter what for 3 days. Yes, even at night!
5. JUSTIN IS GONE!
6. Yesterday Wade started having trouble breathing and had a really high fever. By this time I was so tired of taking care of sick kids I could just scream! So I waited all day trying to decided if I should take him in to the doctor again. As I was waiting the spirit whispered to me that Wade needed to go to the doctor. I thought I was just being an over-reacting mom. The spirit whispered to me again to take Wade in. So I put him in the car about 5pm and we went in. At this office they automatically do a flu and strep test on who ever comes in. The doctor listened to Wade's lungs and sure enough, he has pneumonia again. The nurse then tells the doctor that Wade's flu test is positive. The nurse and doctor started moving real fast. They make Wade do 2 breathing treatments right then. Then we had to run and have x-rays done. Needless to say Wade runs the risk of having serious complications with the flu. The doctor thinks that we caught it in time but I need to be on high alert. So yes, breathing treatments every 3 hours night and day and adult strength of antibiotics. If he shows no improvement in 2 days off to the ER we go.
Oh by the way Luke has the flu too! He is doing really good and should be better in a couple of days.
7. Did I mention that JUSTIN IS GONE!!!
And that is why I am just a little bit tired. BUT, I am so grateful to have the gospel in my life! I am also so thankful to have good friends that take care of me and my family! THANKS!
