Getting close to Christmas!
Oh this week is so miserable for our family! Saturday night we decided to take Chris to the hospital because he was running a really high fever of 102.5. He was acting cranky, not eating, and weak. Well we took him to Wyandotte hospital, where they told us he had tonsillitis. Ok that was manageable. They gave him antibiotics and sent us home. Chris refused to taken the antibiotics, and refused the Tylenol. We tried giving it to him in a syringe, in juice, milk, pop, etc… but nothing worked! From that point he seemed to get better really. Sunday night comes around (the next day), and as Im doing laundry I start getting nauseated. I came up from putting a load in the washer and my heart started to race, and I started to sweat. I told Matt to go to my grandma’s to pick up her blood pressure thing so I could check that. When he returned, I put the bracelet on, and it said my pressure was fine. Well 5 minutes later I tried it again, and as I was doing it, I had the sudden urge to be sick. It wasn’t 10 seconds later I got up and ran to the bathroom, only making it 3 feet before the sickness let loose. It was horrible. I haven’t thrown up like that since I was a kid. After it was over with, Matt thankfully helped me clean up, and I got the carpet cleaner out to clean it. I felt perfectly fine after that. The next morning I started to develop cold/flu symptoms, and Ive been in misery ever since. Wednesday Matt decided to wake up and say, “I don’t feel so good”, but he went to work anyway. To my surprise he was home at 1:00p.m. Which was unlike him. He doesn’t leave work unless it’s that bad. He moped around all day, and finally at 9:00 at night, he let loose with sickness, but he made it to the bathroom fortunately. He’s feeling fine today. During this entire time, Christopher has been on and off throwing up, and being cranky. We took him back to the hospital today, just so they can send us home with no advice. Wyandotte hospital is the worst for care Ive ever had, which is the main reason I will not deliver this next child there.
More on the bad news side of things… Matt got his blood test results back and his cholesterol is 308!!! We are trying to figure out why because our diet is mainly cholesterol free. We do not eat red meat, cook with oil, or use butter… so we are at a loss what’s going on. It might have something to do with the fact that we’ve eaten out a lot lately. He’s having a liver ultrasound tomorrow as well because his enzymes are high. We do not know what’s causing that, and Im hoping it’s nothing bad. They cannot put him on cholesterol meds because they cause the enzymes to go high, so it’s a wait and see situation. We are both to go on a strict low fat/low cholesterol diet starting this Monday. It will be good for us both.
On the good side of things, I got an “A” in my English class as a final grade. I’m so happy… it makes me feel so good Ive accomplished something. Only 28 more classes to go until I can get an associates degree anyway. My math final is Saturday, and I think I will do well. Here’s hoping!
I’m 26 weeks 2 days today, and my back and hips hurt. Other than that Im fine. I get more paranoid by the day that something is going to happen, but Im trying to keep that under control. Only 89 days left until delivery day. I can’t wait.
Today Chris made me feel like the whole motherhood thing is worth it. Not that I didn’t feel that before, but what he did was reassure me. He woke up from his 3 hour nap, and came walking slowly out of his bedroom with special blanky and special kitty in hand. He dropped those, and came to me with open arms, gave me a big hug and patted my back. Something I totally would have never expected from him at this age. It was so sweet, and so cute. I will always remember that. It is nice to know you are loved, and I want to always have an extra close loving relationship with Chris and my future Andrew!
