Not Again

Ah yes, once again Beckett was in the Hospital.  A bit more serious this time.  He had Bronchiolitis, which is most often caused by RSV, but he tested negative for RSV. 


Beckett had been sick for a couple of days.  I stayed up with him all Wednesday night and by 5:00 am Thursday morning it was evident that he was in respiratory distress and needed care that I could not give him.  So I headed to the ER.



They admitted him and ran the gamut of tests they run and came to the conclusion that it was a virus and we were going to just have to wait it out.  So we did.  Thursday night was the worst, it was touch and go on whether he was going to go on a ventilator. Side note, turns out my acne is triggered by stress, just thought I'd share.  Beckett held his own, and made it through, after that night he slowly improved.


He was released Sunday.  He is not 100% , but much better, at least he can eat and is not on oxygen.  I want to thank my mom for coming once again and taking care of the kids.  She is always willing to drop everything and come to my rescue, and that means so much to me.  I also want to thank everyone for there prayers.  I have never physically felt the strength of others prayers before this.  Not even when Elleree was in the Hospital, but I did this time and I am so grateful for the support!

These are pictures of Monkey man this morning after a much needed bath.  He looks good, right!

Update

Non stop action and fun here.  Last weekend I turned 31, and was sick with a fever.  This, if you know me is not unusual for my birthday.  I ended up having strep throat.  My husband being the cute man that he is made my birthday special anyway.  Here are some cute pictures.


Jason being the dad he is let the kids "help" with the cake.  He made me a German Chocolate cake and Sweat and Sour Chicken and rice.  It was fabulous

Even though I had the worst sore throat ever that did not stop me from having the biggest piece ever!


The rest of the day was spent sleeping.  This how we usually do it Elleree on one side and Beckett on the other.  I know it looks like I am smothering him, but his head is actually turned the other way.


Dillon got guitar hero for Christmas and the kids have been jam'n ever since.  It is really funny because they don't know the songs so when they sing it sounds sooo funny.  As you can see Elleree has really found her calling as the drummer, she is feeling it!

Jason's mom got the dress above for Elleree for Christmas, and even though it is too small she wears it all the time.  She makes Jason tie the ribbon that is supposed to go around the dress on her head as a very stylish bow!


I had to put this picture on because Truman is awesome.  Some how he is able to put his pj's on inside out, and still button them up.  He gets it from my side of the family.


Elleree got Beauty and the Beast for Christmas.  As you know it is a very intense movie, so she has to watch it from a foot away just in case she misses something!
I don't have any funny pictures of Dillon.  It is kind of sad when they pass that stage.

This last weekend my friend Jamie came to visit me.  She has a little girl Truman's age, and a set of twins, Elleree's age.  Her little girl loved Beckett, and of course we can see why.  He is so cute!

It was fun for the kids to have someone to play with, we haven't had that happen a lot lately.  It was even better for me to have Jamie I miss having friends to hang out with and to talk to.

So what have I been up to besides getting older and being sick?  Well I finished this snowman that I was supposed to do clear back when Alli was here.  She got the idea from http://craftychicmommy.blogspot.com/2010/11/crafts-are-never-bore-with-2x4.html/.  I finished Becketts birth announcements, which are super cute if I don't say so my self, and mailed them off. 

We switched realistate agents, in the hopes that maybe in the next 6 months we will actually get our house to sell, since the last 6 months we have had no luck.  The house we are renting we just got the notice on the door the other day that it is in foreclosure.  The sale date is May 13th, and the kids school is not out until 24th of May.  We are working on a way to be able to finish the kids school year out and not have to move before the year is out. 

That is the update for the last two weeks.
