This week has been an exhausting week for me.
I ended up in the Emergency Room with Emily about 8 p.m. on Wednesday night. We didn’t make it home until midnight. She had a 104.3 temperature which is the highest temperature that any of my babies have had so I decided to take her in. When we left they told me that she possibly had a U.T.I, she had puss pockets on her throat and the onset of Pnuemonia. On the bright side her ears looked good. Eric’s friend Nathan had come into town from SLC while we were in the ER. When I came home Eric and Nate gave Emily a Priesthood blessing. The next morning I had to take her to the pediatrician for a follow up. The pediatrician said her lungs sounded great and he had no reason to believe from the x-ray that she had pneumonia. I love the power of the priesthood. However, she still was sick with a virus. Then Thursday night I came home from school to find Eric holding Ben and Ben sobbing hysterically that he was sick. Benjamin ended up with a high fever 102.6 and I had to give him three nebulizer treatments throughout the night. He was wheezing. So Friday morning I called to get him in. The dr. said that when he immediately saw Ben he could tell he was having a hard time breathing because the way his throat was sucking in. He was concerned he had pneumonia and so he did x-rays. Ben was excited because they let him see his x-rays. He does not have pneumonia but he is concerned he has an upper respiratory disease. He uses the word disease because he says that heseems to get this every year around this time. If not his next concern is asthma. He is on a steroid and on the bottle it says that this medicine lowers your ability to fight off infections so avoid people who may be sick. So I am keeping him away from everyone. Joey started presenting a cough as well but I think he had the fever before Emily did. I think he has a higher tolerance level that is why I didn’t really notice him being sick.
Thursday night I had an incident in class that really upset me. The lead student had brought cookies to class and towards the end they were passing cookies around and I asked for some and they sent them to our table. During this time other people started talking and I was too and this kid yelled at me and said you are being so disrespectful and rude while this other person is talking. I just wanted to yell back at him (not cry this time). But I couldn’t because it is BYU-I and I am better than that, right? My friend apologized and said we are sorry for being disrespectful. But I was so upset at him. Because he can’t tell me I am disrespectful when moments earlier him and the person he was defending were on the computer building blue prints for a play airplane for one of their online games. Not to mention he is always on WOW during the class. So that is why I was so mad.
I had a relief society birthday dinner on Tuesday night. I took Ben and Emily because that was the day Joey was acting sick. Emily wouldn’t go with the girls in the Nursery so she stayed with me and Ben had fun in nursery. When we were leaving Ben was offered a treat. It was the flower pot desserts where it is pudding, oreo cookie, and a gummy worm, made to look like a flower. He looked at the lady and said “I don’t eat dirt!” We all laughed and she told him what it was and he still couldn’t grasp the concept because of what it looked like he politely said, “no thank you, I don’t eat dirt.” Silly boy.
So Eric’s friends were in town this weekend and I got to hang out with them for a little bit. Saturday night I went and watched my friend play her guitar and she was awesome. She wrote her own songs too. I was so glad I could go watch her.
So I missed church and might continue to skip Sunday’s until Emily isn’t sick anymore. I have been in the Dr.’s office once a week for 6 months. I am tired of it not to mention it is getting expensive. But we finally scheduled her to get tubes in her ears for April 13th. I am nervous but I really think we have no other option.
I was able to put Emily’s hair into her first ponytail.
I know you are wondering why I have a picture of the boys eating cupcakes. If any of you know Ben he doesn’t have much of a variety when it comes to food. In the past I would make banana bread and he wouldn’t try it. So I made banana bread cupcakes and zucchini bread cupcakes and frosted them and he has no clue. I call them BB cupcakes and ZB cupcakes. He loves them. Who hoo for me!
Joey and me acted out the story of the three little pigs. Emily was the big bad wolf. He is hiding under a blanket which is a house of straw and behind the couch is his brick house and he is safe from the big bad wolf, Emily.
We also had a science project where we warmed up apples and was trying to figure out what heat will do to apples. Joey was very excited to mash the apples.
Me and Joe were playing store and Ben didn't want to play with us. Joey has his very own wallet and he drove to the store and picked out his groceries scanned them in and then bagged them and drove home. He had fun and it must have looked too fun because then Ben wanted to play also. It was a fun week as well.
