WHAT A WEEK!!!!! (VERY long post)

Wow a lot can happen in a week. Last week proves it. Do you ever feel like you are waiting for the other shoe to fall. Well I am waiting. They say things happen in 3 well i can only pray that 2 is enough. I will start with the story of the first thing.
Event#1
Tuesday Night around 7 pm Jackson is in the tub and Juliette is screaming her head off. Juliette is upset for several reasons. One being she did not want her earlier bottle and she was hungry but it was about time for night time bottle so i refused to feed her to early. The other thing being this is her fussy time usually and she is not a happy camper normally around this time. The third thing she is teething so who knows when this will stop. Forth thing is she has a cold (part of the next story) and a have to suck her nose out. So as you can read she was UNHAPPY. Jackson on the other hand was a happy camper in the tub, playing. Jonathan was washing a load of clothes. When he cam back in the bathroom Jackson had dumped the WHOLE bottle of soap in the tub. A lot of bubble but nothing that could have been taken care of but i had just told him the night before to not do that. So at 7:45pm in he was put to bed early because of his actions. So I heard "Momma, MOOOOOMMMMMMMA, Momma, etc......" for about an hour. During this i had manged to get Juliette ready for bed and put her down for the night. Well Jonathan was fixing our alarm and it keep going on and off. But at around 9pm Jackson finally calmed down and was quiet. SO I THOUGHT!!! At 9:15 I hear this blood curdling screaming. I actually thought it was Juliette until I noticed which monitor it was coming from. So I RAN upstairs, flung open his door while saying "Jackson, I am about...." as I turned the light on and noticed his head stuck in between the headboard and window and. I then let out a "JACKSON" as Jonathan comes running up the stairs. He was standing on his bed with his head over the top of the headboard. I had managed to unstuck his head before Jonathan got upstairs. After the initial comforting of Jackson and putting him back into bed, I start to think "What the HE** was he thinking?" You see this could have not happen on accident he had to purposely stick his head in there. I guess I'll never know. But he is fine he was just a little shock up. But on the positive side he has not done that again and maybe he won't, LOL. Humorous now but scary then. She if you can imagine him!!



Wednesday night I got my camera equipment out and took some shots of the kiddos. I think I did a good job considering, I am free. LOL!! The only thing I paid was my sanity. Try taking picture of an almost 8 month old (Crawler) and 3.5 year old(wildman). So that being said I did a great job.











Event#2
See I think one event per week is more then enough. But i undoubtedly have made someone very angry and they feel as if i needed two to make sure everything is right in the world. LOL!

Thursday when i picked Juliette up from Daycare I noticed that her breathing was a little different. Enough to be concerned but nothing that couldn't wait until the next morning when i could get her to the doctor. She had a cold since that weekend but no fever or green stuff coming out of the nose. So I told Jonathan that I was going to take her in the morning to see her doctor. Well her breathing started getting a little bit more bothersome. I gave her her bottle and she only took about half (very unusual) and a put her in her bed with the humidifier on. Well I crawled into bed at about 9:45pm and said a special prayer that night, asking god to watch over her tonight and if her breathing got worst to wake me up. WELL, he answer my prayer because at 10:30 pm a heard this horrible cough and gasping for air. I ran into her room to find her having a really hard time breathing. As I called the nurse line to ask what I needed to I got ready and gathered some stuff with the full expectation of going to the ER. Well i was right the nurse informed us to go straight to the ER and if needed she would call an ambulance. I turned that down on rushed to the ER we arrive at 11:15pm. We had no waiting. The only thing is we had to go through a metal detector and wait for them to check our bag (I know baby having a hard time breathing should give us a pass, but no). The nurses and doctors were great and rapidly got the situation under control. But the Dr said she had "A VARY ACUTE CASE OF CROUP" and since she was so little and it was so bad we would be admitted to the hospital that night. When I tell you it was scary I truly don't know how else to describe it. She ended up having to have to rounds of breathing treatments and some steroids. She was releases Friday around 1 pm. Then when Jackson woke up on Friday he was running fever and had a bad cough. Jonathan took him to the Dr and he was diagnosed with the same thing but since he was older it would not be as bad. So Friday night we were up with him having difficulty breathing and running fever of 102. Both are a lot better now. Don't get me wrong I know this stuff may be minor in the whole scheme but this is the closest I ever want to come to being in Children's as a patient. They treated us wonderful but I really don't ever want to have to go back for medical reasons again. But if i have to at least I know what a great place it is.




I would also like to say I truly believe God woke me up that night to hear my baby and for that I live in his Mercy. Thank you God for watching over my children and please guide me in raising them in your mercy (and hopefully healthy and safely).
Please other shoe please don't fall. LOL! Wait two things happened so maybe that was the other shoe. Ok, so hopefully things don't happen in three.
