- Get the older two boys to school by 8am
- Clairah was to be picked up by 9-9:30am
- Older boys to be picked up around 10am
- Nana was coming to pick up Noah, Nathan & I to take us to Tacoma for a Neurology appt for both boys and an Endocrinology appt for Nathan later in the afternoon
- Kaedyn had to be at the Oral Surgeon's office by 12:30 (he has severe anxiety and can't even seem to sit through a cleaning right now - but that's only been since switching dentists.)
- Clairah to be home to her Dad's by 8pm
That was the plan ..... not how things happened.
First off, I couldn't sleep last night (turns out I forgot to put one of my pain meds in my nightly med thing last night when I rationed out a weeks worth of med, and I take two of them every night) ... and then after getting an hour or two of sleep - I woke up super sick sick sick. I couldn't stop throwing up. I called my mom at about 7:30 and told my Mom that I didn't think I'd be able to go - she asked if I just wanted her to take them - and I was like "how are you going to answer all their questions?" she goes "I donno? What questions are they going to ask?" I said "I donno, how are they doing? You'd have to reply - well, I don't know - I don't live with them." LOL ... she told me to see how I felt around 9:30 and by 8am I had decided I was just going to reschedule because I just didn't want to get anyone else sick.
One of those things that pisses me off to no end is when parents (or people in general) don't give a crap about going out to public places (like sending their children to school) super sick and spreading it to my child who has an immune system that sucks. Then my kid who has a crappy immune system (albeit better immune system then 18 months ago!) brings it home to me, and I have auto-immune disorders, and there is a baby in the house - and really - I live with a bunch of men who are typical males when getting sick. OMG I have a sniffle,.... I'm on my death bed.... Yeah.
Although, I realize that I'm so sick right now and everything is landing on my husband and he has been AMAZING. He's been sick, and he has major back issues, and I'm really proud of him for stepping up and taking care of everyone. I honestly don't know what would happen if he wasn't. I appreciate him so much. (I need to tell him that more)... I know it's extremely hard on him.
Anyway .... Mom said she may still stop by. I said "please don't" .. lol.. I don't want her to get sick. She said "My immune system is better than yours" ... phhhhh ... that was a low blow.
Anyway ... so Noah, Nathan and I weren't going anywhere. Still - Nathan couldn't go to school today because of Kaedyn's appointment and didn't know 100% that Dad would be home to pick him up from school.
Anyway - we had let Kaedyn stay up super late last night so that he could sleep in this morning and sleep off most of his 'can't eat or drink anything after 4:30 am' thing... and he did sleep until about 11am.
But I just love how he cuddles Marshmellow (our Snowshoe Siamese cat)
Mellow has totally become Kaedyn's cat. When we were coming to terms that maybe we wouldn't be able to catch Mellow to get him over to the new place, Kaedyn was heartbroken (when he over heard us talking about it) and begged us to promise we'd get him. Well we did manage to catch him. Joys of having indoor/outdoor cats. Ever since then, Kaedyn has NEEDED Mellow to fall asleep. He will hunt down that cat and drag him up to his bed if he's not already up there. (Up until the last week, we lived up in Kaedyn's bed anyway - so it wasn't much of a big deal, but for the last week or so he's been sleeping on my bed, at my feet.) ... Anyway - Kaedyn cuddles Mellow, and it's adorable.
So 10:15 am rolls around and suddenly my silent house is chaotic once again. Dennis got home with pretty much EVERYONE but me, Noah and Nathan who were the only ones home. He had taken Shila and Elly to go get Clairah and picked up the older two boys, and my Mom showed up too.
I got up with my puke bowl, ha ha ha. Went and talked to my mom...
After everything calmed down a bit, Clairah came in to help wake up Kaedyn. This is Clairah's first day back with us, we haven't seen her since October other than over Skype... So yesterday I was super bummed because I was going to be gone all day and not get to spend any time with her, and today super bummed because I was sick. ugh..... can't win....
But we did get to spend some time together... I got a nice picture of my girls and I .... I love my granddaughters :) So excited to see Clairah today .... I absolutely LOVE hearing her say "Nonna" lol...
I think the visit went rather well today, other than Mommy and Daddy Kale walking out of the room at one time and Clairah - I think wanted to follow them, but didn't want to leave Elly alone, so she tried to pick her up and ended up dropping her on the floor. Elly was fine. Shocked and sad and hurt a little bit... Mommy did her hair, played dress up a little with her jewelry ... next week I *need* to get some family pictures done, I want to get pictures of Clairah in her Minnie Mouse costume that she never got to wear for Halloween because of everything that went down.... yeah... just need to feel better.
DB - of course - sent me pictures from the dentist because he knew I was worried, and would worry.
So I guess this is how the playroom looked when they got there, and they played for a bit - and Kaedyn cleaned it up (it's a before and after) ....
I guess Kaedyn was trying to read Daddy's Java school book... lol... while he was all loopy on the anti-anxiety meds they gave him prior to everything - and let it kick in. Daddy said he was punch drunk trying to read code....
At one point, I got super worried. He was back, being worked on - not prep or any of that, but actually being worked on - for TWO HOURS.
Update from Facebook:
So he has natural deep channels in his teeth that I have in mine, no matter how much you brush, you just can't get them clean enough... so I guess he had some cavities back there, the dentist said he had to work real hard to get in those channels to clean them and still didn't think he got them as clean as he would have liked ... so he fixed them, put some sealants on ... guess he found a bone chip still in his gums left over from a tooth he lost that wasn't falling out.. so he had to dig that out. Said he worked really hard on his teeth - his gums are going to be sore, he put a spacer in to help his teeth come in better - which should fall out in a few days... He's home, he got some good pain meds - Dad has to go pick it up. He's hanging out with me in bed, throwing up in my puke bowl. Poor kid. just ... yeah... I think I remembered everything.
After going and dropping off Kaedyn's prescription for stronger pain meds - just incase he needed them - and getting some children's liquid tylonel (we have ibuprofen but they are chewables, and I guess with the meds they gave him, there was something about ibuprofen not working ...
After he got back from that, he laid down on the couch for a little while. Kaedyn was in Daddy's spot on the bed, sleeping off - throwing up - just not feeling well at all. So he just wanted a power nap and took a couple of his pillows and his blanket out to do that... well I got up to use the bathroom and found Thor attacking DB's head like he likes to do. He basically GROOMS his humans. Usually it's Kale and Shila because those are his humans, but it was pretty funny.
This poor kid slept until about 7pm ... he tried to eat something, threw it up... watched some TV with me (I was in and out of sleep myself, still battling my upset stomach) ... then about 10pm he finally was able to hold down a couple cups of jello, and a pudding cup... and of course he's WIDE AWAKE. Yep... I feel so bad he's hurting though :( Not sure if he's going to make it to school tomorrow, but we HOPE so...
Meanwhile - I have managed to eat - a cup of frosted flakes, 2 cups of jello, soup broth a few pieces of chicken and like 6 or so carrot slices from the soup. YAY me.
In another note ... we probably are going to be losing our cable, internet, phone for a week or so until I can pay it. When we moved, they were supposed to start up a new account and let us pay off the old bill as we could, and instead they attached the bill to the new address and we just hadn't been able to cover the extra right now. Well we're going to have to now, but won't have the money for it, for a week or so. I'm going to write blogs still, each day - but won't be able to post until I get internet again. So don't worry - we'll be back soon.
Actually kinda looking forward to "unplugging" a bit. I'm hoping I get some actual WRITING done ... and hope that there is a lot of board and card games with the kids :)
I'm expecting it to be disconnected any time now, but it may not be - at all.... from what we were told. So I guess we'll see.
