Better

I think we may be rounding the corner and things are looking a lot better from this angle. Somebody quick, knock on wood!

Cycling

I have so much that I want to blog about, but I am just running on empty tonight. I finally caved and got an antibiotic for my sinus crud and I hope to be feeling better myself soon. Tonight was Chiggie's Open House at her school and Tea threw up. The King had a meeting out of town so I was alone with all 4 kids. We had planned to go to dinner afterwards but just ended up grabbing a pizza. Will this ever end?

Baby Update

This morning I received a call from the Pediatrician saying that the baby's bloodwork came back from the lab and it did show bacteria. The results are still not back from the bacteria culture. She had an appointment this afternoon and has made a lot of improvement since she got the Rocephin shot yesterday. Based on her improvement she was given another shot of Rocephin and we are hoping she will just continue to improve. Thankfully there is no more fever and her breathing sounds good. I will be so happy just to put this behind us. Poor little thing.

Throw Us a Bone

We didn't sleep good last night, and the baby didn't get better. She got worse. Finally at 3 this afternoon I took her temperature and sure enough it was 101. Pretty high for such a tiny girl. I called the Doc back and they got her in right away. We spent most of the evening at the hospital where she had chest x-rays and blood work done. On the bright side the chest x-rays were clear. Unfortunately we don't really know what's going on. After the hospital we headed back to the Doc's Office where she was given an antibiotic shot.

I'm a wreck. Midge isn't feeling well either and it's ripping me apart. I wish I could clone myself and hold and rock both of them separately but obviously I can't. I feel like I am always letting someone down. The Babe needs me. So does Midge, she too is just a baby after all. I know I'll be okay and I'll feel better, especially after some sleep. But right now things just feel rough.

The Babe goes back to the Doctor tomorrow afternoon and at that point some decisions will be made. They are hoping for major progress after the shot. Me too. Poor thing finally fell asleep and has been sleeping for 2 hours now. Amazingly she weighed 10 #'s so that's good.

On a much brighter side, Chiggie is having a great week. She loves PE and computers. She is catching on to her sight words very easily and I love watching her learn. We miss her so much while she's gone in the morning but I love knowing that she is playing, learning, and having so much fun.

Please say some prayers that tomorrow is a sunnier day!

Update

*Sigh of Relief*

I feel so much better. Thankfully the baby just has a cold. Her lungs are clear and she is not running a fever. Her cough is caused by congestion, which will hopefully pass quickly. I am so relieved.

Now if we can all just get a little sleep tonight.........

0 to 60

I am really stressed out right now. I did everything in my power to keep the baby from getting sick. She is exclusively breastfed and I was really hoping that would protect her. Yesterday morning she started kind of coughing. Just a mousy ahe, ahe, kind of thing. As the day wore on it got worse and more congested sounding. She had kind of a rough night last night and now she's sees the doctor at 1:30 pm today. I have no idea what will happen as she is still only five weeks old. On top of that the other girls are still coughing. Uuuugghhhh.
