Breathe

One of my friends always reminds me to Breathe.. this past week was a week I needed to be reminded several times. People often ask how we do it and the answer is simple.. we do it because of those around us. The kids went Trick-or-Treating last Sunday. Callie was a caterpillar and Zak was a bug catcher.

Right after trick-or-treating Chris had to head out of town for work and did not come back home until Thursday. 
Monday I met with the interior Design team and we were able to see the cabinet design. We also saw the floor sample for the Community Room! That was exciting to see our first piece of flooring. 

Monday evening Callie spiked a fever of 102 degrees, but the nurse was able to get her fever down by morning. Tuesday she seemed a little better, but we could tell a cold was on the way, By Wednesday it was time to take her in as her breathing was betting worse. The doctor gave her meds, but did not do an x-ray as she has c-diff and antibiotics only will make it worse. We had to up her oxygen slightly, but by Thursday she was better again. Thursday night she took a turn again and Friday was back to the clinic. She was on a significant amount of oxygen. They did an x-ray and treated her for pneumonia. They gave her an injection at the clinic and another nebulizer treatments. They did let us go home with strict orders on when to admit her to the hospital. Thankfully God was watching over her and by 6pm she was starting to do a little better.  Today Callie is doing much better, she is no longer on oxygen when she is awake. Hopefully this week she will get back to "normal". Needless to say the whole week was a roller coaster ride, not knowing what she would do.

Thursday I went to Marshfield with one of the kids Nurse. We went to a meeting about special needs and the medical world. We talked about insurance and things too look for. Different benefit and being an advocate. It was a very informative session.

So after a week of craziness I am ready to move onto next week and hope for a healthy week.
