Sorry I am so late. I have had a week from absolute hell. Hubby was off this week so it was "supposed" to be an easy week. We scheduled dentist appointment for the kids since he would be home and we could divide and conquer. Well, it all broke loose and my week went like this .. Monday - Grace goes to the dentist in the AM and I go to the emergency clinic because my doc could not see me until forever, I have a staph/mrsa infection. Got a prescription, asked the clinic doc 3 times - is this ok to take while breastfeeding - yes, yes, yes ... got it filled, took the first dose, THEN read ... do not use while breastfeeding - oh crap, so I called my ob, yep - can't take that med and BF so she calls me in a new prescription. Tuesday - Marissa and Nathanial - dentist, 10 pm - Nathanial to the ER via ambulance after spiking a 105.2 fever and having a febrile seizure. He convulsed, could not breath right, turned blue and had his eyes roll back into his head. Nathanial having this seizure was scariest thing I have ever witnessed (and I watched my mother die which up unitl Tuesday was the scariest thing) Wednesday - followed up with the pediatrician for Nathanial. They sent us for more bloodwork, urine, flu and strep tests; all tests are negative. Tried to get Marissa in but they were too busy. His fever spiked about 8pm and back to teh ER I went. His temp was 103.6 about 45 minutes AFTER he had a full dose of Motrin to control the fever. They are calling in viral, in other words, no one really knows what is wrong with him. Took Marissa with us and did the 2 for 1 at the ER with her. She really was not ER sick but took her anyway. Thursday - We were all home - not drs but were pretty miserable the whole day. Friday - Another follow up for Nathanial, he is on the mend but has a bit of a rash. Baby Faith has the crud and went to the Pedi, she is on the nebulizer 4 times per day. I have not tallied the number of trips we made to the various medical facilities, not sure I can count that high! OK - all of that to say, I finally got the list put together - If you name is not on the list below and you want to participate, please pm me your info ASAP. I will send the final list on Monday via email to your personal email address.
