Random Thoughts about this week.
Thursday, November 6, 2008
My son has passed out, and i should probably be takin a nap too right now but my nerves are just shot. I think I got just over 4 hours sleep last night...my son is sick. :( He has been having breathing and congestion problems and is back on his nebulizer. I saw it coming, as not only was my husband sick, but then I got sick over the whole weekend (still feel like shit btw) ....so it was inevitable that my son would catch something! It just stinks. I was worried that my son would inherit my allergies- to dogs, cats, mold, all that lovely year round stuff....but never thought about asthma. Neither my husband nor I have that...but I've since been educated on why he is high risk for developing it. I almost wish they would just diagnose it already so that I KNOW it is what he has. You see, that is the problem right now...he's too young to be diagnosed. And that is why I was hesitant on putting him on meds for asthma- they said he didn't have it! But it's quite clear that today when we go back to his pediatric pulmonary Dr. that I will have to hang my head while he basically says, "I told you so". He warned me this would happen should I deny the preventative treatments! UGH. I feel that I never make the right choices when it comes to alot of things, and this just added to my list...
This week was just plain shitty...the only thing good was that I was well enough to go out and vote for the first time this week. YES....it was the first time I voted. I am one of those people. One of those people that would say, "i don't DO politics, it's confusing and i don't want to know about it...". But then I had a child. Like they say, everything changes when you have a child. And I realized that I wasn't sure I wanted to bring anymore children into this messed up country...so i started educating myself. It's still confusing as hell, and every day I'm still learning... but I'm so proud that I got a gist of what's what in politics anymore! And also that I got out and voted...and yup I'm also happy with the outcome! I'm optimistic about the future now...time will tell.
Tomorrow's Friday so there is still hope that I can end this crappy week on a high note- WISH ME LUCK!

Sounds like you have all had a rough week. I hope you are all starting to feel better soon. And when it comes to your kid, it never feels like the right decision.
I hope your weekend improves!

I'm extremely proud of you for finally voting. It is so very important and hopefully, as you get older.. you will continue to learn and you will continue to vote. Nothing makes me happier.
Take care Gal.
