This has been an incredibly exhausting few days. Isaiah still does not feel well. I took him to the drs. today and his white count was up indicating some kind of infection so he was started on antibiotics which is for the best. I am worried Avery my catch it and not fair as well as Isaiah did.
So a rundown of my day today.................................
Up literally every hr. with Avery with no nursing. So I wake up sooo crabby. Avery is up and get meds and vomits them up. Ugh. I now have to take Isaiah to the drs. b/c it is day 8 and he is still not better. Go in at 10am to the drs. with is a complete fiasco. Isaiah is SUCH a crazy boy. He has some uncontrolled movements and some quite controlled ones. He kicked the dr. in the face (that being uncontrolled), kicked the lab guy in the cahoonas (quite controlled). Then the chest x-ray seemed like something out of the three stooges. So crazy. I was just cracking up. The kid does not stay still at all and it took three people to get chest x-rays in his stroller. We finally got them but I really wish I had a camera, too funny.
Anyway, but the end of the drs. visit I was exhausted. Drop Isaiah back home and off to work in Boston. Call supply company, nurses and drs on the way into to work which is very typical and why my cellphone bill is unbelievable. See 12 patients at work and am TOTALLY wiped by this point. Then heading home I hit the typical traffic for which I am never in b/c I am usually home well before rush hr. So I am VERY frustrated sitting in traffic for over 1.5 hrs. Get home and Avery had a miserable day b/c of his feeds but is in bed by the time I get home.
Luckily for my glass of wine I tell ya. Oh yeah, Janessa was asking for her friends in the neighborhood to sleepover tonight. ARE YA KIDDING ME!!!!!!!
So my wish for tonight is that AVERY SLEEPS.........Please pray for some sleepy vibes. I feel like I am going to lose it if I don't get some sleep. Especially b/c I have a killer work schedule for tomorrow. I just don't know how long I can keep all this up for. I am surely NOT superwoman.
