What A Month!

Here are just a few of the things that have happened this month:

  1. Spencer falls and breaks his tooth on the fireplace
  2. One week later, Papa drops a heavy plastic container on Spencer's face where his broken tooth is
  3. All three boys have colds
  4. Tanner throws up
  5. Spencer has a stomach virus
  6. I have a stomach virus
  7. Spencer has his tooth removed
  8.  Spencer falls again and busts his lip again
  9. Spencer hits me in the mouth with his sippy cup and busts it open - now we have matching broken lips
  10. Bennett gets a runny/stuffy nose
  11. I turned 28
  12. Spencer gets a runny/stuffy nose and a cough
  13. Saturday, Tanner gets a fever, chills, aches, and then throws up
  14. Tanner now has a cough and runny/stuffy nose
  15. Sunday, Tanner gets a fever again, chills, and aches
  16. I take Tanner to the doctor on Monday where he has mucus in his lungs - he's put on breathing treatments - another fever that night
  17. Tuesday, Tanner's doing better - or so I thought
  18. I take Spencer to the doctor on Wednesday - he has a fever, cough, runny/stuffy nose, and now an ear infection
  19. Tanner wakes up in the middle of the night on Wednesday coughing so bad that he throws up, he's shaking so bad because he's cold, his fever is 102 again, call the on-call doctor because I'm scared to death he has pneumonia, she says to give him another breathing treatment and see what he does, she makes an appointment for him first thing
  20. I take Tanner to the doctor today, Thursday, thinking he has pneumonia, surprised to find out he doesn't, he sounds worse than he is, he's actually better than Monday, but he's starting to develop a sinus infection, doctor gives him a five day antibiotic treatment along with his breathing treatment
Today, I'm exhausted physically, emotionally, and everything in between.  What a month!

Lani, Lani, Lani! It'll be worth it someday right? Everything we do as mothers? Right? :) You are a great mom, and your boys will always know that, even if they don't act like it right now. I miss you so much friend! Hope someday we'll get to see each other again. Until then, keep up with your blog! You wear me out!
