Ten Things Wednesday...

a day late, but better late than never...

[bexincanada]

1. We went to a Children's Museum today with friends and had a lot of fun.

2. Not jinxing anything but night 3 of this "camping out" sleep training went well. Thankfully since H has hockey tonight.

3. There's a woman interested in viewing my office to sublet, I looked her up on Linked In and she's Billy Graham religious. I'm nervous and am dodging her a bit.

4. I feel bad about judging re: #3 but it looks like she's another counsellor which won't work anyhow since there's myself and another counsellor in the building already.

5. The weather here has been very spring-like... it makes me want to plan the veggie garden.

6. I'm still shocked about and mourning the loss of Stuart McLean. For you non-Canadians look up Vinyl Cafe podcasts... you won't regret it, his stories are the best.

7. I can't think of ten things... dinner is rapini pasta tonight.

8. When Is sleeps I want to have another baby.... talk me out of this please, it's too soon.

1. My great aunt flew in today. We are super super close. She's Sutter's great great aunt. We are calling her GG.

2. My birthday is tomorrow. It's also Sutter's original due date. Crazy to think he's been here for 3 weeks.

3. We are going out for Italian tomorrow.

4. I have Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake to eat tonight.

5. I wish I could find a well paying job that alternated shifts with julie. Unfortunately, it's not looking good right now.

6. My current boss has been so understanding. And I am grateful for that. I go back to work on 4/12.

7. I still don't underanat how Trump is president.

8. My aunt always flies into the airport an hour and half away, bc her airline credit card only services that airport. Drives me nuts. It's been a long day for the 3 of us

9. I need to sleep, sleep for a few days.

10. We need to replace the carpet upstairs. Damn pets being sneaky.

1. My dad finally sold his house. It is very bittersweet.

2. I broke the news to the kids last night and while they were sad, they weren't really upset. I expect C to be when we leave - as will I (we are going for Spring Break.)

3. That house was really the last connection to my mother and the last place I saw her alive.

4. $hit. Now I am crying at work.

5. I just ate a Lindt truffle. So good.

6. I am going to dinner with friends tonight. I am excited to have a good meal and fun converdation!

7. Does anyone watch This is Us? OMG. I was bawling this week.

8. I have a zit on my forehead that looks like a 3rd eye. This is when bangs use to come in handy.

9. I need to clean my office. REALLY clean my office.

10.Off to work...

1. This will probably be short and all about M. We've had a bit of a rough week with M being sick.

2. It started last week with a cold and we thought she was getting better but over the weekend it didn't seem that way.

3. We went to the doctors on Tuesday because she had a cough and shallow rapid breathing and they sent us to the emergency room. At first they called the ambulance so they had to take her out of the office on a gurney. So sad.

4. Once we were outside the EMT said that he didn't think they had to take her, she seemed stable so we ended up driving her.

5. We spent all day in the ER and they discharged us that night with instructions to do breathing treatments every 4 hours with a nebulizer. It takes about 15-20 minutes to do a treatment.

6. We went to the doctor the next day (yesterday) twice. They gave her predisone in the morning but since it takes 4 hours to work, they wanted us to come back. They saw a minor improvement but not as much as they would have liked to see. Turns out she also has an ear infection so we start treating her for that.

7. We go back to the doctor this morning and since she's still having rapid breathing and wheezing, they recommended admitting her to the hospital to be monitored more closely.

8. The thought of our baby being admitted into the hospital makes me cry. I get sad thinking about not being able to comfort her.

9. Hospital just called and her room is ready. They give you two hours to get there.

Haven't read any of this and I'm probably missing details but that's why we've been MIA. I think she has RSV and an ear infection.

cetcar,

I am so sorry. I hope she is feeling better soon. I work in a peds hospital and the respiratory stuff this year is no joke.

[kona]

cetcar I hope the hospital stay is short and M is feeling better very quickly.

[kekaellypula]

cetcar our thoughts are with you

[cetcar]

Thanks, guys! Last night went pretty well and I was way less emotional once we got to the hospital. It was more the thought of having to take her. And we've been able to be with her the whole time. She's currently sleeping in my arms.

They took a culture and she doesn't have RSV but coronavirus which I guess is a cold. Her chest X-ray on Tuesday showed mild broncolitis. They monitored her oxygen and heart rate continuously and it's stayed within a safe range. A few dips in oxygen but nothing that's needed to be treated. They continued with breathing treatments every four hours and prednisone and amoxicillin twice a day. Hoping we get discharged today. She was much less whiny last night and her breathing seems so much better!

Poor CET 'slept' on the floor and I 'slept' upright in a sleeper chair (it surprisingly doesn't lay flat. M started the night sleeping peacefully in her bed but after her first night check she didn't want to go back in it so I've been holding her. I think she would have kept sleeping in the bed if they hadn't woken her up.

Thanks again!

[rosesquared]

cetcar oh no for all you're going through but glad M seems to be on the mend! Hopefully she keeps getting better and you can all get some good rest once you're home!!

[bexincanada]

cetcar Scary stuff. I'm sorry to hear about M. I'm glad she's in the rebound, I hope you're home soon. It's definitely a helpless feeling when the little ones are sick.

[cetcar]

Thanks again! We were discharged yesterday and she still seems to be better. We're continuing with her breathing treatments and prednisone until we see her doctor on Monday. Her seems much better!

Last night she even slept in her crib! She woke up twice but fairly easily went back to sleep in her bed. For the last week she has been sleeping on or next to us. We still slept on the bed in her room so we were nearby.
