I didn't get the ONE thing I wanted for mothers day and I am totally bummed out about it.
Let me explain. DS has been sick pretty much constantly since January. We have had multiple URI's, sinus infections, 3 bouts of pink eye, 3 ear infections, Step throat, nasal drip, thrush, diaper yeast rash, and supposedly all caused from seasonal allergies (and this is just his list of illnesses starting from Easter). DS has been on so many medications round the clock he practically gives them to himself. He even checks his own temperature. I prayed to God and the cosmos that for mother's day I could have just one thing.... a healthy household, (DH and I have been sick too). I have been so depressed that DS is so sick. I know he has been feeling yucky and many nights despite every effort on our part, he ends up coughing himself to sleep. One night he coughed so hard he threw up. This was the same day he had been diagnosed with Strep and Ear infection. And pink eye 3 days before that. He was so tired that night that his eyes were just rolling into the back of his head between coughing fits.
Now, trust me- we have literally tried EVERYTHING. The doctors assure us there is nothing much else we can do, he just suffers from allergies and his system needs to mature and make it through this horrible season. FWIW this season is one of the worst in the recent history for this area. Well, its now a week later after the strep/ear infection diagnoses and DS started pulling at his OTHER ear today. I checked his temp and it was 101.3. He went down for a nap and woke up with eyes crusted over, so i am pretty sure he has ANOTHER ear infection and pink eye again.
I don't really want much. I don't need jewelry, or clothes, or breakfast in bed. I don't need to be taken out for dinner. Heck, I would even trade my mother's day cards in if I could just have a healthy family.
Add to all this, the fact that DH's work is evil and making everyone work today so I don't even get to spend the day with my little family.
/sigh, maybe next year... I guess DS could use some P&PT
