Sick Children

I am sure other mothers with young families feel my pain, but are we ever going to be healthy?
I really am beginning to doubt the likelihood of this ever happening.
So, Clara Grace testes positive for flu b last Monday. All was well and she seemed to bounce back quickly. Rainey woke up Wednesday morning with a 103 fever and it never broke. Thursday night we went to an urgent care place and they gave her fluids and antibiotics and sent us on our way. The whole night I was uneasy about the whole situation and could not rest. So the next morning we go to our regular pediatrician and they tell us that she has flu a, flu b, pneumonia, and is dehydrated. ugh! She had never once coughed! Well, they right us admissions orders and send us to the hospital. No sooner do I get to the car, then William is calling saying Clara Grace has blood in her urine and Mimi is bringing her to the drs office. ( Mimi had come to get the twins to spend the night so we could get some rest) haha! I call the drs office to ask if they can see her and pretty much lose it on the phone. How can I take care of both of these babies at the same time. Rainey and I go on to the hospital and get checked in. She ends up having to get 2 IVs put in because the first one blew out and then she got stuck 3 more time. Bless her heart! I was crying right there with her....as all the nurses held her down.
To cut a long story... we are home now, after 3 nights in the hospital. Clara Grace is getting better and oh... John has the flu now. I swear, what can happen next.

Last but not least, Thanks to everyone for prayers, food, goodies for children, and kinds words. Tough times show you great friends!
