Christmas

Well had a pretty crazy Christmas.

Mel and fam were in town and we had wedding festivities to do as well.

To top it off all 3 of my kids got sick right before Christmas. I didn't think it was anything more than a little cold/cough, but on Christmas Eve Sam woke up with a fever and not breathing well, and he screamed the entire night before and wouldn't sleep unless he was laying on Toby's chest. (Yay for me, bad for Toby.) Anyway, his breathing got so bad that we took him to the ER at Primary's and I knew it was bad when they rushed us through triage and there was a Dr. and Respiratory already waiting for us in the room. They did some breathing treatments on him, suctioned him, and told us to plan on staying over night. Awesome, just what we wanted on Christmas Eve. But Sam rallied and woke up to even eat a little so they let us go home with lots of suctioning devices and antibiotics for his two horrible ear infections. He pretty much slept from that point on until the next morning and luckily was much better for Christmas.

Max got super bad 2 days before Alicia's wedding. I thought no big deal and got him on antibiotics for his ear infection, but he couldn't shake the cough. I think that stems from him being a preemie. He was coughing so hard he was coughing up his medicine and food. So we finally found a cough medicine that would work on him and my saint of a mother-in-law who wasn't feeling well herself, took care of him on Alicia's wedding day so Max missed out on all the fun.

Whew! Sorry so long, but had to get that down for posterity's sake.

We are all doing great now, if only Sam would let me leave the room, then we'd be good.

Oh, and the best Christmas present of all - Toby has an awesome new job with a medical supply company. Only problem is - tons of travel for training. I am now a single mom, and not enjoying it!
