This past week has been insane. The weekend before Thanksgiving my Dylan came down with a cold. We kept him out of school Monday & he went to work with Nate. When I got off work, I went to Nate's work to pick him up. I could tell something wasn't right. He couldn't finish a sentence without getting out of breath, he looked gray & just all around bad. I asked him if he could breathe, he politely said no. WTF. So, off we went to the ER. Within 20 minutes of being there he had a 3 pack breathing treatment, a chest x-ray & a flu test. He had a 101 temp as well. The Dr. & nurses kept a close eye on him since his oxygen/sat was hovering around 85. It was freaking terrifying. Since we weren't at the local children's hospital, the Dr. felt more comfortable transferring us there for admission. Ugh, off we went in an ambulance. He didn't even smile the entire time we were in there. It was absolutely terrifying.
That was Monday night. Wednesday we came home. He is almost 100%. He had a virus (which I got in the middle of the night Monday) which in turn made asthma, that we didn't know he had, show itself. Wonderful. I went to my Dr. Tuesday morning. I called them as soon as they opened & told them what was up & that it felt like I was swallowing razor blades & breathing fire. I couldn't be sick with a sick lil man in the freaking hospital! I had a 100.6 fever. Awesome. Gave me a zpak. Today, (Monday) I feel better than I have all damn week. It's probably the sickest I've been since I was in school. Dylan hasn't been sick in probably 5 years, & NEVER like this. I don't know what damn virus we have, but it's straight from hell.
The Dr. doesn't think that this will affect his daily life, just only when he's sick. That's acceptable I suppose, but still sickens me.
It definitely didn't feel like Thanksgiving this past week, but we ended up being very Thankful this year.
I didn't plan on cooking & I knew we didn't need to be around any family, but I couldn't just not have Thanksgiving for us. Especially with all that was going on. When I found out we were going home Wednesday, I called Publix & ordered the already cooked family dinner deal that had a turkey, mashed potatoes, & dressing. I felt like dogshit, but we were eating a damn turkey! Dylan was feeling much better, Thank God, but I felt like death so we just stayed home all day & I cooked. Ok "heated" our dinner. It was cute, and I'm glad I did it. I even made a slammin' ass cranberry apple crumb dessert. :) I feel better today, but my Nate is sick now. We thought he made it by without getting it. Nope. Lots to be Thankful for this Thanksgiving, for sure.
I had a dream that he went outside or something last night, so I woke Nate up & asked if Dylan was outside. It was 4:37am. Of course he wasn't outfrigginside. Me being the freak I am, I had to lay my eyes on him or I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep. I go to check on him & he is just laying with his eyes open. He says, "Oh, So you're awake too?" I'm like no buddy, just checking on you. He nods, rolls over a little bit & looks to being falling back asleep. I go to walk back to bed & he said (I cannot stop laughing about this. ALL Day.) "Hey, (While pointing at his chest/shoulder) is there a scratch off right here"? My 9 year old has a thing with scratch offs. It's my Mom's fault. She would buy those damn things for him allll the time. He has favorites & it got to be when he would have $2 or $3 he would negotiate with us to buy them for him. Thank God that's ended. He's won so much from those damn things too. $50.00 one time. I thought he shat his pants! haha I go back to bed & I cannot stop laughing. I was like shaking the bed because I was laughing so hard. It was sooo weird & random, but damn hilarious. I hope when he's 20 or 30 I remember this enough to tell him.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
No matter what's going on, you have something to be Thankful for.
Tell whomever you love, how very much you do. Often. XO
