Ten days...of Hell.

I wrote a whole post then Blogger ate it and then I was bitter and didn't want to write another one.  But here is a recap of what was one of the worst ten day stretch ever. 

I knew I was sick.  The kids and Lee got sick but they got over it fairly quickly.  I on the other hand was really struggling.  One Friday night in mid January I went to Olive Garden for a girls night out.  Good food and good company.  I only knew one of the girls but it was great.  I only ate less then half of my dinner which wasn't that big to start with.  Starting that night I struggled to eat and to sleep at night.  By Saturday night I knew I was sicker then I should have been but thought I would just get over it thinking it was a cold/flu thing.  Saturday was Jake's friend party at the Dart Zone and Sunday was "eight is great."  I made it through the party as well as having friends over that night.  Sunday we didn't go to Sacarment Meeting but I took the kids to primary.  After eight was great I went and slept on the couch at the church because I was just too weak to sit through class. 

Every night I was throwing up.  I had a doctor's appointment on that Tuesday in which I said that I thought it was a cold/flu but that I was doing fine. Okay slight untruth.  I really thought I would be getting better.  She was not happy after the fact.

Fast forward to Saturday when I called the on call doctor went to a class and then went to Victoria's dance performance.  I got home from the dance performance after sending Victoria to her cousin's for the night. I spoke to the oncall doctor who thought that I may have some acid reflex and suggested some medication.  He warned that it may be 2 days before things started getting better.  Sunday I was not better and Lee insisted that we go into the hospital.  My sister who had Victoria just took the other two and in we went. The doctor gave me some cough medication and antibiotics.  Monday we were back in the hospital because Lee was still feeling as though something wasn't right.  The second trip the doctor gave me a breathing treatment, inhaler and iv as well as some anti nausea meds.   Something worked and Wednesday I was back to work.  Not feeling 100% but still functioning. 

It has been almost two week and I am just now finally feeling semi normal. But that could be the pregnancy. 

I had a doctor's appointment today.  She is concerned I lost weight and breathing is still an issue.  She did something that if the baby is ready will bring on labor.  They did the same thing with Andrew and he didn't show up for another 10 days. So right now we are waiting.  Hoping the baby comes this weekend.

Random Thoughts

I sometimes wonder where to draw the line in this whole blogging thing.  I could make us look like the "perfect" family or I could deal with all of our disappointment and make everybody think that we quite possible have the worse life ever.  Or maybe there is a middle ground somewhere that I have yet to find in this blog.  Today was a rough day.  Don't get me wrong I am so excited that everybody around me is having babies.  But for some reason today I was caught up in the losses all over again.  I am wondering when it stops.  Maybe it never does.  Maybe it will be a life time of wondering what if I would have gone full term.  Several people have asked when (or if) we are going to have another baby.  I am not sure.  Sometimes that answer is yes and sometimes it is no.  But one thing is for certain it isn't right now.  Really I don't need to have a ton of kids to fill some void.  I love my two kids and if that is all ...

It has been a week

Here is how the week went Monday: OUr 25th anniversary. I was sick. We went and tried a Cuban restrant not as good as the food we had in Miami but it was good. We love trying new local places. It ended in tears. I won't go into all the details but I am relaizing that this is not the marriage I want. I am open about what I need and we will go from there. Luke started wrestling. Tuesday: End of the year banquent for Luke and Andrew. Luke recevied the "Most Improved" Awared. Here is the thing about that. His coach talked about how during summer practice he wouldn't even run 100 yeards. He would just stop. At some point after the first meet it clicked and he just ran and did what he needed to do. He went up adn accepted the award with such confidence. Wednesday: Both boys had activities. Andrew had stayed home from school due to not felling wel. My guess is he just needed a rest. He was feeling up for going and making pizzas at the Bishop's hous...

Heavy Week

This week has been so heavy. I had a client pass away and I never got the closure I needed/wanted. Client was not my typical client. He was different and sassy and I looked forward to seeing him every week. Then we went to a presentation. When I tried to explain how dishonest the presenter was I felt ignored. We are pretty anti MLM anyway but not wanting to know is weird to me. There are big changes coming and I am not ready for all the changes. Might be good might be a diaster. Time will tell. Mom's surgery is scheduled in about four weeks. I feel as though she moved it for us. Which is for the best for everybody but still taking on guilt that is not mine to own. Listening to the news about the LDS church shooting/fire in Michigan has been so triggering. I hate that I feel all the all the feeings. How I can envision the people there and the screaming kids and .....on and on. I wonder what changes will come to the church now that prophet died. I hope ther...
