What to do? What to do?

So, I've been wondering since last night if I need to take M to the doctor. He's been coughing since Sunday night, and it has gotten worse...to the point of gagging last night. However, I called the dr on Monday and asked since he has not had any fever. Fever is a sign of the pigs flying and I don't want any of that in my house! Anyway, they said as long as he has no fever, there is no need to bring him in.

I called again this morning because he coughed a lot more last night. They are very nice at the dr's office. I told them what was going on, but I also said I don't want to bring him in and expose him or me to any flu-like sypmtoms in the waiting room. They gave me a website to go to and said it would basically give me the same information that they would. Seems a little weird to me, but I really don't want to put us in a location where I'm quite sure there has been any type of flu. I feel better now. The website stated exactly what's going on w/ him, and said the best course of action is to let it run its course unless, of course, there is fever. He still has not had any fever and is acting normally. It suggested putting a humidifier in the room - did that last night. It also said it's worse at night - knew that! I guess I just needed the reassurance since R is out of town.

At this point, I'm just praying that last night was the worst, and we're on our way out of this. We are also praying very strongly for our health. As I said, I don't want any pigs flying in my house or any other type of flu for that matter. Praying you all stay healthy as well!!!!

Funny bedtime

Micah is doing great with using the potty. We still, however, put him in a diaper overnight. Sometimes he's dry in the morning. Sometimes he's not. Last night he wanted to wear his underwear. I was reluctant. Randy asked him what he would do if he needed to go tee-tee during the night. M: "I ' feeze ' it" R: "What?" M: "I feeze ' it" I thought maybe he was saying "reach" because he uses an f instead of an r, so we asked. R: "Reach it?" M: "No. ' Feeze ' it" R: "Do you mean freeze it?" M: "Yes" We still had no idea what that meant but were already laughing. R: "Like the cops say "freeze" and you hold your hands up?" M: "Yes. I say ' feeze ' and go in there and go potty" as he pointed to the bathroom. We all laughed hysterically !!

      As I sat here listening to Gov. Abbott tell us the plan for opening the state of Texas, I could see our daughter, who is a senior, standing across the room. When Gov. Abbott mentioned schools will be closed for the rest of the year, her shoulders dropped a little. Then when he talked about graduation, or at least some type of plan for it, her shoulders and countenance dropped even more knowing graduation will most likely not happen as she planned. It was the first time I had seen her feelings about this in physical form.              Yes, I hurt for her. I know she wants to wear her cap and gown. She wants to decorate the top of that mortar board so we can “find” her in the sea of black gowns and matching caps. She was excited to receive her graduation package back in March – two days before spring break, two days before her senior year ended, two days before her life of primary education ended. Non...

Mixed emotions

Here I am just a little over 14 days until Sutton's c-section date, and my emotions are weird, again! I am so excited to have her here to hold her, kiss her, watch her being loved on and hugged on by Sydney and Micah. It is just so exciting!!! However, at the same time, I'm sad. I've come to realize that this the last time I'll be pregnant...which is something I truly enjoy. So the "mixed" part is that I don't want her to come out just yet. I want to continue to feel her kicking and moving around on the inside. It's such an amazing feeling that only God could create! So that is where I am. Pray for me, please. Both are strong emotions right now. My other concern is I don't want to go through post-partum like I did with Sydney. Thanks for reading this one =)
