Leigh got a stomach bug a couple of weeks ago that resulted in throwing up once and then running to the bathroom multiple times a day for about a week. She was fine other than numerous potty breaks. We thought maybe all would be clear of this yucky bug, thats when Avery came down with it. Poor girl still wears a diaper so now she's got an awful rash. This is some kind of bug to be lasting a week with no other symptoms but the obvious. In the midst of all this we took Titus to the doctor for his 4 month, he's doing fine but I still informed her of his fussiness that we constantly deal with. She prescibed him zantac for possible reflux even though he doesn't spit up tons she said he could have "silent reflux". We tried the medicine for a week and things got progressively worse so after a horrible night of screaming and crying with no way to console him, I called the doctor to inform her this is not working. She told me to stop the zantac and prescribed me previcin (I think thats how you spell it). It has only been one day so we will see. He has also let us know that he does not like the carseat nor riding in the car. He screams from the time we leave until we get out and I feel oh so bad for Leigh and Avery riding right next to him. Yesterday was a really bad day. Avery was not able to go to MDO because she is still having yucky diapers so Titus, Avery and I went to pick Leigh up for school. As soon as I got home I began to feel really cold and then the chills set in and I was freezing with no way to get warm. I then stared shivering, like teeth chattering shivering. I began to feel weak and achy all over with a terrible headache. I could not even stand. I was supposed to get us ready to go to Leigh's basketball performance at half time of the Baylor Basketball game. Ricky's parents were coming down to watch and we were going to take them out for his dads birthday. Instead they had to come to the house and get the kids which meant not having time for dinner and I missed Leigh's performance. I stayed home in bed and now have the stomach bug.
Ricky got a picture of her giving the sic'em bears!
God's goodness through it all:
-Leigh had a great time and Ricky got it on video.
-Ricky's parents were with him to help with the kids so he wasn't by himself.
-Ricky got a good taste of how difficult my days are with Titus (a sore subject with us and me not feeling alot of support). He came home and truely apologized for not understanding and said he can see why I want to pull my hair out at times. This was a good time of forgiveness. He called a friend to see if their babysitter could come help me some during the week.
-I got some much need rest, even if it came in the form of sickness.
-I am feeling much better.
-Titus slept good last night.
-Ricky took off work today to help me with the kids and let me rest some more.
It was so nice to have him home. I love my husband and it made me wish he was around more often, we all enjoy his company.
Also, inspite of our rough days with T-man, my girls continue to show love towards him and each other. Leigh holds the pacifier in his mouth in the car if he will let her, she holds the bottle for him and talks to him. Avery takes the paci away sometimes but she always says at least 3 times in the car "wud a madder Tidus". Poor girls, I am so glad that God made kids so resilient.
I am thankful that all in all I do have a healthy baby and the only issue we may be dealing with right now is reflux but I will be glad when we can sigh a sigh of relief after this first year.
