SICK, SICK, SICK

I can't believe how hard this household has been hit this year with coughs, snot, eye gunk, puke and crap. Today...

My husband went to the doctor for the first time in 10 years because he has a pain in his left side and is feverish and sweating so bad. He can't even function. Gosh I hate when that happens.

Reagan has a fever for days now and coughing up gunk. Her eyes are both blood shot and putting the drops in her eyes that she needs is terrible. I have now deligated that to her father and she seems to do it much better for him. Reagan also fell asleep sitting straight up mid conversation with the doctor in his office and he was stunned. When I told him she does that after eating sugar some times he started scurrying around writing out requ's for blood and urine testing. Now that was fun too. I can't believe it never occured to me before. I just though she was one of those kids who didn't get hyper from sugar. I feel soooooo stupid now. I really am smarter than that. I hope and pray that the tests come back normal for her and she doesn't have to live a life of a diabetic. I would do anything for her without batting an eyelash but for her it would be a lifelong battle. I love her so much I hope its nothing. This coughing virus has her so wiped out that she's slept day and night for 4 days now. Up for 2 hours down for 2 hours all day and then sleeps through the night. Poor Reagan.

Courtney is coming to me in the night and asking for nebulizer treatments which she HATES with a passion but because they work for her that tells me she is really feeling rotten. Of course when she wants to go to a friends house she is miraculously better. She's a stinker but I'm on to her.

Jordan's asthma is totally gone off of the rails. Into the doctors this week to get him an action plan. He has never been like this EVER. It has only affected him when he had a chest cold. Now he carries a puffer around with him and uses it. I think he needs some sing.ulair or some kind of thing like that. He is really suffering and on that nebulizer every morning and every night for pulmicor.t and ventoli.n. I HATE ASTHMA and I can't believe I have passed this nastiness onto my children.

Me on the other hand am itchy for HEAD TO TOE!!! Why why why. The doctor figures it's from being out in the sun last weekend. Why now after all these years? I am going to go nuts from this itchyness. I've tried epsome (sp?) salts bath, baking soda bath, and benedry.l but I don't really want to take the prescription from the doctor because it will surely put me to sleep. OMG with this connective tissue disease I sleep enough already.


One foot in front of the other and no scratching. OK who get's the next breathing treatment?
