Shout Out

This will be a brief update on the horrible happenings with myself/Laurie and a Shout Out to Jax. He turns 5 years old today! Wow.
So the Les Miserables saga has not ended. If you don't want to read about my complaining and health issues, feel free to wait a few days to hear all about Jax's special day. :) I just can't believe how this keeps going.
I left off on Friday and me trying to get better.
By Saturday:
-back at the Dr. to check everything and I felt a few other problems might have been starting, like pneumonia, but luckily my lungs sounded great. The Dr. said my ears looked great, and just give it some more time on the sinus infection.
-we also took all 3 boys to the Dr. , I suspected Creed might have a sinus infection, sure enough, both Jax and Creed have infections as well, meds for them. So far Bodie's is just a little cold.
-by Sunday we were back at the Dr. again. My ears were still hurting and I couldn't hear, sure enough, it's all still infected, ears full of fluid and I was worse now more than ever.
later Sunday: Vomiting from the pain meds
- back to using Ibuprofen, which doesn't help.
-Worried about holding all my medications down
-Switching to a heavier Antibiotic
-Dizzy spells
-midnight, a massive dizzy spell causing, shaking,
tingling in my arms, couldn't move, hard to breath
-5-6 days of not much sleep

Tuesday I went to a ENT specialist and they did a CT and hearing test
- ears full of fluid
-showed a massive head infection
-sinuses aren't draining (although it's a constant faucet?- go figure)
- Dr. added a few other meds to the list
-Greg is back at work
-my sister Amy and neighbor Annie were able to come take care of my boys
-dad driving me around, moms providing meals, Abby too!
-I never feel rested
- I have a constant "head ache" Sometimes it's so bad in my sinuses I can't even touch it.
-my teeth ache
-always blood in my nose
And a huge thanks to Greg, he's been so great and has taken care of all of us.
My chart for all to keep track of is ridiculous.
Here's a list of what's been used or am using...
ear drops, eye drops, 2 different antibiotics, pain relievers (3-4 kinds), sinus relief (3 kinds), anti nausea pills, motion sickness pill, migraine pills, Steroid, nasal spray, 2-3 other supplements to help with side effects from antibiotics. It is crazy.
We've been to the pharmacy so much our new best friend is the Pharmacist at Dans.
Ugh, I think I'm on the mend. I have to be, I'm have a b-day party with 12 other kids here today! I don't have the heart to cancel, so I've asked for some help and hopefully we'll pull it off. Time to get Bodie and go sit on the couch and rest for the day :)
I wrote most of this for my "journal" so I hope it wasn't too weird to read.
