Absence

Remember my last post about life being a balancing act and how I was 

having a hard time juggling all that life had thrown at me? 

Well, that was multiplied tenfold over the last few weeks. 

Everyone has been sick.  We've all been fighting one thing or the other 

and when I picked Mr. B up from Daycare last Friday, he was running temp. 

After daily visits to the doc last weekend, a very high fever round the clock 

and rotation of Tylenol and Advil, I finally thought his fever had broken on Tuesday after his 

nap.  He woke up very groggy but didn't seem to be running fever for the first time in 

days.  Very quickly the situation changed and he started shaking, lip quivering and 

told me "mommy cold" as he climbed into may lap, pulling the blanket with him. 

His lips looked blue. 

Then his cheeks looked blue.  I started to panic!  

After a quick phone call to a nurse friend and his pediatrician's office, I quickly 

called 911 and we made our way to the ER in the ambulance. 

After many blood tests, glucose, tons of tylenol and advil to bring down his 

almost 106 temp, we went home with another antibiotic to fight off the double ear 

infection as well as the virus he's fighting.  

He's making a recovery.  It's been slow, but his immune system is 

finally fighting off the virus and we are getting tubes tomorrow to take care 

of the ear infections. 

I hate the thought of putting him under, but I just want him well and 

help for the chronic ear infections! 

On top of all this, my mom has been fighting pneumonia for the last two weeks. 

Not only am I worried about my little boy, I'm worried to sick about my mom as well. 

Please keep Beckett and my mom in your prayers. 

It's been a really rough two weeks for them and I've wanted nothing more 

than to make them better.

For those of you who have called and texted, thanks so much for the concern and 

worry.  I'm praying very hard that within the next week, both of them will 

be on the mend and back at it!  

Things can change so quickly and take a turn for the worst in the blink of an eye. 

He did such a wonderful job in the ER.
My brave little boy!
Just look at those poor IVs!!

So, if you were wondering where in the world the posts have gone, well.... 
let's just say I've been a little preoccupied lately.
I'm hoping this week will be better than the last few.
