Random things...

I hate doctor offices! Today, Lucy had ANOTHER GI dr. appt. at Cardinal Glennon. Her appt was at 2:30. Got there early--had to drive around the parking lot for more than 15 minutes to find a parking spot. Finally park and get inside. Go to the gift shop for a soda. Head over to the actual office. Sign in. Wait...wait...wait some more. Then, wait again! FINALLY get called back. They weigh her, measure her height...then realize they don't have a room open. We get sent back out to the waiting room again. About 15 minutes later, they call us back to a room. We sit there and wait! The nurse comes in.... "The doctor has been called out to an emergency surgery and it will be about 45 minutes...please listen for your name on the intercom and come back when you hear it. Here is a free gift voucher ($5.00) for the gift shop or the cafeteria." We head over and found Lucy a stuffed dog...and she falls in love with it...carries it around... Our name is called and we head back over...we go right into a room where the doctor is waiting on us! He basically tells us that we need to wait out this stupid constipation issue for another 6 months...we will check back in with him in 2 months... It's a waiting game. A stupid waiting game!

Get home from St. Louis, just in time for me to head to a CWF meeting at church (Christian Women's Fellowship)...where it is election night. I am now the president of the CWF at our church! Was not expecting that! LOL I have no idea what it entails...but will figure it out as I go along I guess! LOL

Really tired today...maybe I will head to bed early...most likely I won't...LOL Tomorrow I have a dr. appt. Perhaps mine will be better than today!

Finally on the mend!

Well, except for some minor runny noses...we are all better here! About time! I was sick of everyone being sick!

Not a whole lot going on here...

My grandpa has been having some serious back trouble here lately...and it receiving cortizone injections to completely numb the area. So far he has had two shots..and is supposed to get a third in the near future. If you think of him, please say a little prayer! Thanks....

Sick, sick, sick!

We are all sick here! It's horrible!

Sunday, I came down with the stomach flu--and ended up in the ER getting IV fluids that night...had to have 2 bags of them. I was so dehydrated that I was having chest pains--my heart rate was between 130-140. I felt awful. So, after 4 hours in the ER, I came home...feeling somewhat better. Monday, DH stayed home from work to watch Lucy--to minimize her exposure to all this...

Tuesday, DH came home from work with it! ARGH! I was hoping that this wouldn't happen. But, it did. So he is home today. But, other than being sore, he seems to be on the mend.

At midnight last night, Lucy woke up coughing. She has the croup again! I had to drive to Wal-Mart to get a new filter for the humidifier...and once she coughed up all the gunk in her throat, she quickly fell back asleep.

So, we are all laying around today--I'm the most motivated of the group--I am the only one not in my pajamas! LOL
