Our House Is Craziness...As Usual

Dear Kids:
Talk about a rough couple of weeks.
First, your dad had an abcessed tooth and his face swelled up for a few days and he was in so much pain he couldn't sleep.
Vivian, you were up every couple of hours going through that dreadful 3 month growth spurt. Also, I think my caffiene intake has had some to do with your sleep patterns. So I've given up on soda for you, and me, and my teeth, and my waistline....
So then daddy's mouth/tooth/etc. gets all fixed up and then Teagan, you start coughing and running a little fever. The cough started last Tuesday night and the fever started Wednesday evening. Then it didn't go away. Wednesday morning I was blow drying my hair and had my head flipped over and suddenly my back spazzed out and I couldn't stand up straight. I was in so much pain I couldn't walk. Then Teagan, you were yelling for me to get you out of bed. You wanted me to carry you to the living room like like I always do, but I couldn't. I just wanted to lay on the floor...but even that hurt. Poor Vivian you were stuck in the bouncy seat in the bathroom all morning. Finally I knew I just had to pull it together and get you kids in the car even though it hurt like hell to move.
Of course, the chiropractor is closed on Wednesdays. So there I was, walking completely crooked. My hips and shoulders were crooked, leaning to the left.
So Thursday morning I was debating taking you (Teagan) in to the drs, but Jenn said everyone at daycare had the same thing and that Colton had just gone in for a fever and cough and they were told he just had a cold, so I passed.
I ended up getting into the chiropractor and she literally made me cry just trying to get me to lay down. She said it would take a day or 2 to start feeling better....which I didn't have a day or 2 to get better, I had you kids that needed me RIGHT NOW!
So Friday rolled around and your dad insisted you go to the drs. So I took you both to Aunt Erin's and she met me in town for your appointment. You tested positive for RSV...awesome...just what we need. I was so scared that this meant Vivian was doomed to get it.
So then from there we went to lunch at Moe's with Aunt Erin and then you guys went with her back to her house while I went to Urgent Care. They put me on naproxen and some muscle relaxers. They said my back had a lot of spasms going on and it wouldn't get better until I could relax the muscles.
So this meant no more breastfeeding Vivian for a while. Thank goodness we have a ton of milk frozen! I was so sad you would forget how to nurse and then I'd have to only bottle feed forever.
So since you were on only bottles for a while I figured daddy could help out during the night...hahahah what a joke. He really sucks when it comes to waking up during the night. I'd wake him up and he'd microwave some water and then while he was waiting for the bottle in it, he'd fall asleep on the couch because he was cold and needed to wrap up in a blanket! So I learned it was pointless to ask him for help. But I also learned that sticking a binky in your mouth buys me about another hour if not more.
So Teagan, you were put on a nebulizer breathing treatment every 4 hours. At first you did okay, but then you started resisting it. On Monday you went to nana's house because I wanted you to get your rest and didn't think you should be around the other kids yet. I noticed the Albuterol you were on made you crazy, restless and then mean. You were downright miserable on Monday night. Kicking, screaming, saying you didnt like anyone. I had to carry you to your bedroom TWICE and make you stay there because you were that awful.
By the way, my back started feeling better on Monday as well. But after fighting with you (wrapping my legs around you to hold you down to give the nebulizer & fighting to get your pjs on) it was hurting again Monday night....but not as bad.
So I decided, no more nebulizer. You were breathing fine and that was causing you to be a maniac. I read online that it does cause behavior issues in some kids...you are obviously one of them.
So Tuesday you went to daycare...after putting up a HUGE fight at the door (again, I believe the Albuterol in your system was to blame) and I got a call around lunch time from Jenn saying you were saying your ear hurt and you weren't acting normal.
So I called the dr and they moved up your recheck to today at 8:30am. Ear infection. Great, nasty augmentin crap they had you on last fall. Yuck. You took it just fine when I dropped you off at Jenn's, but I think that was because you didn't know what it was so you just drank it. We'll see how tonight goes...
I love you to the moon and back babies!!!!
Love, Mommy
