Sickies

I knew I was calling down the thunder, bragging about how we made it to one year without Morgan getting sick. 

But I was not at all prepared for this week....

Long story short:  Bronchitis (me) + pneumonia (me) + sick one year old + six months pregnant = one very sick and worn out Mama.  I went to the ER last night after being sick all week, and showing no improvement.  I also started developing a fever yesterday, so I knew that wasn't good.  Earlier in the week, I had taken Morgan to her Pediatrician to rule out an ear infection or RSV.  While she had neither of those (thank goodness), he did notice "blisters" on the back of her throat.  Poor thing was miserable.  The dr. said it was viral and to give her Motrin to keep her comfortable.

Luckily, my sister and nephew came for a visit this week.  How fun for them to be in a house full of sickies :(  They have been a HUGE help to me and allowed me to get some rest too.  Morgan has loved having them around as well.  I'm hoping I recover enough very soon so that we can do SOMETHING fun while they are here.

I'm just going to rant a bit here since I'm sick & irritable anyways (ha ha, I must be starting to finally feel better!) that I called my OB's office yesterday to see if I could get in and be seen.  The receptionist told me "If it's cold like symptoms, he doesn't deal with that - you'll need to call your Primary Care Doc."   So I call my Primary Care doc TWICE, leave 2 messages, and NEVER GET  A CALL BACK.  12 hours later I'm in the ER with a fever and chills & feeling like I'm on my deathbed.  I'm a little disgusted with my healthcare providers right now if you can't tell.  In the ER, I kept telling the nurse I was firing my Primary Care doc because I don't like it when boys don't call me back, lol.

So when I crawl out of this sick hole, I will come back to blogging.  Until then, rest, fluids, and a Z-pack are my new bff's.  And you can thank me later for NOT including any sickie pics, ha ha!
