Big Day! FRIDAY 7/25/08 BOOK SALE DAY ~ yawn ~

Good Morning Everyone.

This will have to be quick, as it is already 7:04am.... Yes I have showered, but only just recently so, as I didn't wake up until 6:45!

I know, I know, sleeping in.

I didn't sleep well last night and I am incredibly tired this morning... NOT because I was so excited I couldn't sleep.

it's probably the quick trip to the emergency room the kids and I did at 1:00am. It was very quick, start to finish, 1 hour. We were on out way home by 2:12.

Here's what happened. My oldest woke up around 1:00am crying and coughing and having problems breathing. I got out the nebulizer and gave her a breathing treatment, (and here's where I need to just calm down) I woke up the kids while she was doing her treatment and got them dressed and found their shoes. By the time I had them ready, she was done with her treatment and her breathing was much better, but she said that it still wasn't good.

So, off we went

This time. It was a TOTAL false alarm. By the time I got there, she was fine, but she kept telling me she wasn't. I could tell she wasn't wheezing, she wasn't coughing, her air intake was good... Sooooooooooo we didn't have to stay long and based on my request, they didn't administer prednizone.

AND, guess what, my allergist (whom I called at 1:00am on the way to the hospital) actually called me back before I even got in the hospital. She said to try to avoid the prednizone and that it didn't sound like asthma, but rather a virus affecting her upper airway.

This morning. Like I said, I wasn't up early.... AND I gotta get the books out there. My oldest just work up and requested her breathing treatment, she has the cough, which apparently is phlemmy and doesn't seem to be affecting her breathing in, but rather her breathing out...

And so... the saga continues.

My youngest just woke up (You'd think this kids would sleep until noon... ) hungry, so I have to go make breakfast! I'm way way way behind, I had hoped to be done with most of my stuff by now. (My middle child ... like the little mini-colkins she is... is still sound asleep)

Gotta go!

Have a great day!

Happy Friday!
