Sick Kiddos!

Okay if my children do not get well I am going to go crazy....It seems I get one of them well and then the other catches it...Then they seem to pass it back and forth and so on and so on. We went to the doctor today for Brinkley b/c she has been so sick! She has been stopped up for a couple of days and she isn't sleeping well at all...which also means I am not getting ANY sleep. I called her doctor today to get her in and he was all booked so we opted for another doctor in the office. We get there and sign in..Braydon was being very good at this point b/c he was told he could have a "suprise" if he was a good boy in the doctor. Well we went back and were put in a room while we waited on the doctor...And for those of you who don't know...If your child is sick and gets a last minute appt the wait back in the room is FOREVER!!! Especially to a 3 year old. Braydon was very good for the first hour we were there. Then he was tired, sick of being cooped up in the TINY room, and did I mention tired! I thought I was going to lose my mind! The doctor finally came in and checked her and decided it would be safe to do an xray of her chest to look at her lungs and rule out pnemonia...Then they did blood work to check for any infections and apparently this little test takes 30 min to see results. OH MY GOODNESS!!! Braydon started climbing on things, wanting to play in the trashcan...and so on....Let's just say he did not get his suprise....and we left today w/ him having a black eye. I promise I did not give it to him.

The Nurse comes in and tells me that I need to bring Brinkley down the hall for her xrays..Then she tells Braydon he can just stay in the room if that's okay with me. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!?!? I politely just said.." I think he should come with me unless you want whatever is in that trashcan out all in the floor with him going through it". Finally it was all over and we got good news that Brinkley has no infection and no pnemonia. Whew! I just have to bring her back in if she doesn't take a turn for the better in the next 3-4 days.

We had quite a day today! I was worn out. Both of my children were alseep b/f we got home from the doctor. We got home...I stuck Braydon in his bed, carried Brinkley's carseat to her room and let her sleep in there..I was so not waking her up...I laid on the couch and caught up on my shows that I had on the dvr and did nothing until the kiddos woke up. :)
