We have a BUSY week ahead of us and to top it all off we  have to give Lucas breathing treatments EVERY 4 hours. We were hoping to be able to push it back to 6 today but no such luck. I take him back to the doctor for a followup tomorrow. Hopefully he can get over this wheezing. My poor little baby boy!

Will seems happy to be back in school and for some reason thought tomorrow was Dec. 8th … sorry buddy. ONE more week to go before you are 5. And I cry. Seriously. How did he get to be FIVE so fast?! I mean he is a full fledged boy and everything. I tell him he stinks and he sticks his butt in my face. Yuck.

Fellow bloggers please follow me at THE WHEELCHAIR MOMMY. I  don’t want to clutter this blog with reviews and random chatter so I created the new blog.You are welcome to read this one but it will be the same updates I do on wheelchair mommy just without the other fun blog stuff.

My son (Lucas) loves shoes.; socks, too! He must wear them at all times. Really.  No joke. When I dress him in the morning he will find them and grunt at me until I put them on his feet. (very cute feet, I must add!)

He leans towards liking the brown pair best. Not sure why. They otherwise look exactly like the blue pair.

Sometimes he even wants me to put them on OVER his footed PJs. It doesn’t work well.

On the bright side he will allow me to remove them for naps/bedtime. Hurray for that! It’s really cute because he will wiggles his toes when I take them off….oh and I must take off the socks AND shoes. Not just the shoes. Silly boy.

I think we will be in the market for new ones soon. These are getting small. I’m afraid.

On the Will front; he is OBSESSED with Monster Jam — monster jam this, monster jam that — it’s taking over. He has trucks, a video game (wii and DS) and he watches the shows on TV.  I must say that those trucks are pretty  AMAZING! Have you ever seen them?? We are going to a show in the new year.

me? charlie?

I went to see NEW MOON last night. VERY nice. Charlie bought a boat. A REAL one. Sleeps 7. Details on that once I have real pictures for you!

Ok to start off we are going BACK to the doctor today. Lucas has a little red bumpy rash over a large part of his body. My Pedi friends said “it’s very unlikely to be an antibiotic allergy. Most likely a viral rash or even an antibiotic rash, but not an allergy” …. But we are still going to go just in case. This is our first rash while on antibiotic.

So what happened to me?

Thursday was a day like any other. I just felt bad. I pushed through not thinking much about it, allergies, right? As the day went on I felt worse and worse. My back started hurting, and my tummy. I was really sore and achy and starting to feel feverish….Then it just downright HURT. . . it was a really slow, strange progressions.

Finally I coudn’t take it and was in tears. It was the boys bedtime by now and I REALLY didn’t want to drag them out but my mom was 2 hours away. However, the doctor’s after hours office was open until 8:30 and if I didnt want to sit in an ER I had to go NOW. SO we got our sleepy, jammy wearing boys in the van and headed out. (oooh I was running about 101 at this time.

I got there and they made me pee. Of course. Doc looked  everything over and told me I had a UTI. She also looked in my ears, nose, throat (Sinuses had been bugging me too). Infection there too…. So she gave me an RX and we waited in the car almost an hour before just heading home.

Mom and step dad were already here and we had to chaos to get the RX took off. I don’t even want to write about that. Anyways…took meds and went to bed.

Friday was the WORST day. Fever was creeping up 1/2 a degree every 30 minutes for about 4 hours and leveled out at pretty close to 104 (103.5 or .8 I think).  We got it down for the night and it peaked again Saturday morning. I was miserable and felt like I was going to throw up. My body felt like I’d had a c-section again. Sore and hurt all over.

I was so hot Lucas wanted me and as soon as he layed on me jumped off.

Saturday afternoon we got a call saying they found E-colli in my urine culture. Really? Huh? HOw????

Oksay so they added another antibiotic and Sunday I was still feeling bad, but improving.

Lucas was NOT! He was burning up.  DH had been up with him a few times the night before. SO he took him to doc and Bad infection in left ear, starting to go into right ear. Antitbiotics for him too….UGH

Monday I was feeling a little better … and so on. Finally started eating … Sunday night I think? Before that, just nibbles here and there.

And that’s about it …. Mom and step dad went home yesterday. Life is almost back to normal.

I’ll spill more details another day but for now Lucas and I have been sick.

I went to the doctor and Thursday night and Lucas went Sunday morning

We’ve both had fever and all. We are both on antibiotics and on the mend but I am still weak and Lucas is still running fever.

Charlie took a driving course at www.drivewayaustin.com this past weekend. He loved it and plans to advance!!

We are going to have the sail boat we looked at inspected and if all goes well, buy it!! We may even be in it this Saturday!!

I don’t think there is much else going on!

OOoh… Lucas waves/says bye-bye a lot. Too cute.
