Whew, I'm glad that last week is over. My week was crazy. Last Sunday, Baby B was fussy and I thought "oh, it's those 4 new teeth that she's gotten this week." I put her to bed and thought nothing of it, Monday she seemed fine and that was wonderful until she woke up from her afternoon nap with her ear drooping and pushing out. I hurried to drop the kids that I watch at home and take my husband to school so that I could get to Urgent Care for B. We waited for the doctor who came in and looked and immediately told me that I needed to take B to the ER. I proceeded to brake down in tears. I was way to overwhelmed at that point and hearing the doctor say I needed to take B to the hospital and probably get a CAT scan was too much. I called my in-laws and asked if they could come and help, but at first they were stuck with car problems, so I called my dad's best friend who lives down the street from the urgent care and he came to my rescue. He let me drop off little man at his house and then drove us to the hospital since I was upset and needed to calm down in order to be there for B. Also, my sweet in-laws brought my hubby as quick as possible to the hospital. After hours of waiting, B received a CAT scan. At 11:30 p.m. we were admitted into the hospital. B had Mastoiditis- in other words a nasty ear infection that went to the bone. Now no judging me people- I had no clue that she had an ear infection- she wasn't pulling her ears and Sunday she let me prod her ears to check- nothing. I really thought that she had teething issues. I felt like the world's worst mom at that moment. After getting settled B finally got to sleep, unfortunately I couldn't- I was feeling sick. To make a LONG story short, we stayed until Thursday afternoon. We stayed a little longer due to B vomiting all Wednesday afternoon and night. I have to say Cardon's Children's center is amazing. The nurses are so helpful, the washer and dryer was very helpful, and I loved the wagons, toys and music time that B was able to enjoy. It was also nice to be able to watch some movies like Wild Child that I knew my hubby would never go for. I unfortunately had to cancel my participation in the shop chic boutique. I hated to say I couldn't do it, but my baby is WAY more important. I'm glad I did too because Friday night little man is walking in the hall and passes me at the computer saying "mommy, I think I sick" only to vomit all over the hallway floor. After settling him, I proceeded to the store to stock up on gatorade and some Oscillococcinum. I swear by that stuff. So after all this craziness I am GRATEFUL, for my kids getting better, my bed, etc. I hope to have the new products that I was going to feature at the boutique up on etsy and my website, up for purchase this week and next. I also hope to feature some of the projects I did up to see and maybe a tutorial, but we'll see. I don't want to overload myself, I'm still trying to catch up.
