Since I tend to forget things easily I thought it would be fun for me to write about a day in the Dunn household. This was on Thursday!!
After a sleepless night (due to Lincoln wheezing all night long) I called the pediatrician first thing and got a 9:00am appoint. Kaden was staying home from school because the day before he had a cold.
8:40- made the appointment9:05- arrived at the doctors office in PJ's, Kaden informs me he doesn't feel sick anymore9:20- Give Lincoln a breathing treatment. I pretty much told the doctor that was what I wanted and he threw a bunch of facts at me about how 95% of patients with bronchitis don't respond. But after learning that me and Kaden have asthma he gave in. 9:45- Lincoln responded wonderfully to the breathing treatment. Hmmm I wish I would have been more proactive the other two times I have seen the pediatrician for the same problem. 10:20- Drop the prescription off at the pharmacy for steroids and medicine for my nebulizer that I have at home. 10:30- Run inside get Kaden changed, make him lunch and drop him off at school11:00- Get Tyler all ready for preschool 12:00- Drop Tyler off at preschool and on my way home get a phone call from Kaden's school that he just threw up at lunch...SERIOUSLY12:15- Pick up Kaden and discover that he didn't throw up because his tummy hurt, he just saw (Ravioli) and it looked disgusting to him. "Mom the first time the throw up came up I was able to keep it in with my mouth shut, the 2nd time I covered my mouth with my arm and Mom the third time it just came blasting out!!" He is one of a kind. I wasn't too overly surprised. At home he tells me sometimes, "Mom you better get that out of my sight because I am going to throw up" and at 9 months old Kaden would see his reflux medicine in the syringe and throw up. 1:00- Give Lincoln breathing treatment and steroids which taste awful!!4:00- A company comes to clean my couches and can't get the throw-up all the way out (an incident from the past week) they have to have someone else come out.5:00- Cabinet people come and I make some final scary decisions with Lincoln crying the whole 2 hrs they where here. Poor little guy that is the most I have ever heard him cry since he was born. 9:00- Help JD with a business plan to hopefully get a free route :)9:45- In bed hoping for a little bit of sleep!!I laid in bed that night just laughing to myself was that really all one day. I tell you what being a Mom provides soo many surprises. After talking more with the doctor about Lincoln he is likely to end up with asthma like Kaden. At first I was so relieved because FINALLY a way to treat him and then after giving him his first breathing treatment at home, the reality of what that means set in. It's nothing horrible but it just means every time he gets a cold breathing treatments and steroids are involved so next winter I have to magically figure out a way to keep all my kids healthy!!
A few days ago I left Lincoln and Tyler with my parents...when I came back to pick them up the first thing my Mom said to me was "Lisa he is a good little crawler" Me, "WHAT" Lincoln had taken a few steps with his hands the day before but that was it. I think he is going for the title of favorite grandchild and that is why he made his crawling debut to my parents :)
