Not so sure what it says when I write SEVERAL downer posts in a row. The reality is..this is my REALITY. 2010 has been a year of frequent visits to the doctor (and I'm not just talking about Ty).
Over the past 2 weeks we have had 7 doctors visits, 1 ER visit and 1 hospital stay.
Two weeks ago I took Ali to the doctor and she had a double ear infection.
The next day we took Ty to the doctor which landed us in the ER and then the hospital.
Once Ty was released from the hospital I went to the doctor myself with a double ear infection.
Ty went to the doctor 3 days days after being released for a follow-up visit.
Ava went to the doctor 2 days later.
I took Ali back to the doctor 2 days ago because she was still fussy, tugging at her ears, and running fever. Apparently the medicine didn't do squat, because this time her ears where worse. We got stronger meds and put some drops to numb her ear (poor baby was in alot of pain)
Last night I woke up to the sounds of Ava throwing-up. She was burning hot and running a HIGH fever.
I'm going to wait it out 24 hours to see if she gets better. The stomach bug has been going around I'm hoping it's that and not the flu.
I hate it when my kids get sick, for them and for me. After 2 weeks of this junk I am TIRED and SLEEP deprived. My girls don't do sick very well. They are VERY needy and CRY alot, typically I don't mind and I love the fact that I am able to stay home and just push everything off until the next day and rock crying babies. But the reality is that after 2 weeks my NERVES are fried. And having my own double ear infection makes them extra sensitive to the screaming and crying.
I was going to delete the post I made on my birthday because is was such a downer but I've decided to give you the up and the downs. It was mainly a downer due to sick bay duty.

Hey babe - wish I was there to just be a shoulder for you... I love my babies so much and I can't imagine what is going through your mind 24/7 having to worry so much and be so responsible for all those supplies, time checks and monitoring... Although no one knows why God allows things like this in our lives, He does promise He won't push us beyond what we can bare... You probably didn't realize you had such high limits until now... you've always been a juggler and a good one and now, well you are going to perfect the art. I know there is nothing anyone can say or do to ease the situation but all I can say is that you are a beautiful child of God and He is crying because you are hurting too... but He is there and will always be. As will I.
Oh you poor thing! The only thing more miserable than having sick kids is having sick kids AND being sick yourself. I feel for you!
