Quick update on my mom. She is out of the hospital. They still aren't 100% sure what is going on but they are sure it wasn't a heart attack. She went to the heart doctor yesterday and he feels it doesn't have anything to do with her heart. So, we are thankful that her heart seems to be in good condition. We're just praying for some results so we can start treating whatever is going on.
That being said our family still needs to have our own wing in a hospital. As if strep throat, bronchitis and pneumonia weren't enough for me this summer I have apparently been working so hard that I have developed tendinitis. I would prefer to say that I caught it from someone but I guess that's not possible. So, I have a brace on my wrist and anti-inflammatory medication to take. Normally it wouldn't be taking me so long to blog but pecking the keys with my nose takes awhile. Just kidding but it is taking me quite a long time to type this
Then there is poor little Sami who decided that 2am Monday morning would be the perfect time for her to puke (of course she has her mother's perfect timing). Thankfully, she is all better now but if you know me at all you will know that cleaning puke up (no matter what time) is one of my least favorite jobs in the world. In fact I will flash back to Christmas 3 years ago when both Scott and Samantha were sick. In the middle of the night Sami pukes (again, perfect timing). Do I jump up and handle everything like a good wife/mother? Nope - I wake Scott up (who btw is running a fever of 103) to tell him Sami puked and can he clean it up? Yeah...puke....not my favorite thing.
This leaves me with Trace (Scott btw is the healthiest of all of us). Most of you know that he has battled some mysterious ailment for quite a long time. He has been to 10 or more Dr's, all with different specialties. Has had 3 surgeries (including 1 with a Dr. that charged us and our insurance company for removing tonsils and adenoids that are still there). We thought we finally had a handle on it when the last Dr. said he thought it had to do with his sinus' and we should just let it play out and see what happens. Which brings me to now. He has been back to coughing and clearing his throat for over a month now. On top of that he has had swollen lymph nodes in his neck. Over the counter meds are not working and the meds the Dr. gave him last week are not working. So yesterday we headed back to the Dr.'s office. A place I have started calling our second home. We are trying new round of drugs and then possibly a new specialist. I'm just not ready to start this all over again. I'm praying things go differently this time and we get some results finally. Even though it's not an illness that is laying him up in a hospital bed it's still hard to see your child suffer.
I feel like all of this, Scott's unemployment, my mom's health, Trace's health is a test from God. So, why does it feel like I'm not passing the test.
