Surviving

Hey all! So, it's been awhile! It has been a week from ???? at our house, at least for me! The kids have been sick with everything under the sun! I thought it was just a mild cold~not a big deal~the runny nose and cough. Well, Bryn's turned into diarrhea (6+ times a day!!) and vomiting (yes, lucky Derek went to work!!!) Luckily, the vomiting just last for a day, the other end a full week before it cleared. Gotta love it! Well, Brendan's cold was clearing up, thought I was doing good. Then he got a headache. Not a big deal~take some Tylenol & go lay down. Next day, another headache, then crying that his cheek hurt. Figured he bit it or something~I didn't know. D mentioned to friends who told us what it was. Yep, my 3 year old has a stinkin sinus infection! It was awful! Called Nurse, going to call in prescription. She didn't. Later that night Brendan screaming in pain, "it hurts mommy, it hurts really bad!!!" So, 6:30, what to do. Call the hospital almost in tears. ( I LOVE my hospital!!!) Nurse makes some calls. Prescription in, have less than 10 minutes to get there before pharmacy closes. I run to the pharmacy. 6:58~whew I made it~NOT!! They were closed!! I pounded on the window. They opened it~almost in tears I told them what happened and BEGGED them to get it for me! 5 minutes later I was on my way home to administer that precious liquid to my baby. He was cuddling Daddy crying in pain. Got him to take it, gave him more Tylenol, still screaming in pain. It is so hard to see them hurting so bad and not be able to do anything more to stop it! First 2 days were rough, but today, no more screaming pain. We are finally on the mend (after I kick the bug Bryn gave me!!) Just in time for me to leave! Look for some exciting pictures soon! I finally bought a decent camera and am going on a little girls week out trip w/ my mom, Gma, and aunt. I am so excited! Greatful for an awesome MIL who is coming to tend the kiddos so I can have this opportunity with my Grams! So, leaving tomorrow and we will post when I'm back!
