I know I have been horrible about blogging.  Sorry to leave you all hanging but I just hit a wall this week.  This crazy life finally caught up to me this week.  I honestly don't know how I have done it this long without any help.  Things finally came to a head earlier this week and I decided to start seeing a counselor. Man,  it was the best decision I made for myself in a long time.  This guy is perfect for me, he has such a calming effect and that is just what I need right now.  I'm going to start seeing him weekly, it will just be my time every week to vent.  This life is not going to get any easier so I need a way to continue to deal with it and try to keep my sanity at the time.  Cuz is momma is happy so is the family.

Onto Avery, he recovered pretty quickly from RSV.  I honestly thought it would be a death sentence for him b/c it is such a tough respiratory illness to recover from.  Well not this little dude!!!! He was able to avoid intubation despite all the extra fluids they gave him in the ER (which he is still working off) and was able to wean off bipap by the end of the week.  He is still having some issues with his liver enzymes being elevated as well as his lungs being wet from the excess fluids.  However, he was able to come home yesterday.  My nurse has certainly earned her money today b/c he is very respiratory all day.  I'm hoping he  does not stay on this path b/c this house really needs a break from sickness.  Speaking of which, Isaiah still has a lingering cough and just not feeling great.  I'm wondering if he had RSV too?  Poor kid also spent the whole weekend retching.  Also I have been sick myself :( I kinda expected it b/c I felt so rundown last week.

There truly is never a dull moment around here.  I wish our life was boring for at least a week but it has continued to be nonstop.  I am just glad I now have an outlet b/c I'm gonna need it.

Nicci,
I'm glad to hear you have a ready "ear". You are right- how did you do it for so long?
Best wishes.
