Kami is sick AGAIN!!

Yesterday when I was at work, I received a call from the school nurse saying that Kami was in the clinic complaining of a headache, sore throat and her stomach hurt. The nurse took her temperature and she had a fever of 102.7*. So off to the doctor we went AGAIN! We got to the doctor's office at 1:45 and didn't leave until well after 4pm. That place was busy!! Her doctor said that she tested negative for the flu, but her blood work did show that she had a virus, but they can't check for every single virus. She told me to continue with the antibiotic that she is currently on and give her Motrin and Tylenol for the fever. Well, this morning around 4am, Kami came into my bedroom complaining that her head hurt really bad. I went to take her temperature and her temperature was 104.7*!!! I woke Ronnie up to make sure that that was what I was seeing. I gave her some Motrin while Ronnie started a luke warm bath for her. I called the doctor's office and had to wait for the on call doctor to call me. When she finally did, she told me that there is a Fever Virus going around and that the fever's can be from 100* to 105*. She said just for me alternate from Motrin to Tylenol (which that was what we are doing). She said that there really isn't nothing that can do for her!! I am getting so tired of her being sick all the time. It isn't any of my other children, just KAMI! Poor thing! If she spikes a fever that high tonight, I can tell you one thing, I WILL be taking her to Emergency Room! I just don't understand why she is getting sick all the time. Something really has to give for her! Oh, my niece Kaila has the same virus. Her fever hasn't spiked as high as Kami's though. Please pray for Kami and Kaila to get better and stay better for a long time!

Tomorrow is Taylor's first horse show (if the weather holds up). She is so nervous. Right now she is at a 4-H Horse Clinic with Jessie and my sister. Taylor is spending the night with Katina tonight and I am going to meet them at the horse show in Mechanicsville tomorrow. My mom is going to come to. She is really nervous for Taylor too. Grandma will be strong though. That is just the type of person my mom is. She is going to be Taylor's rock tomorrow. On the other hand, I will probably be the one freaking out. We will all get through this! LOL!

I will update everyone on Kami and the results of Taylor's horse show on Monday. (Hopefully I will have some picture's to post)

Horse Show getting closer ....

Taylor is getting nervous!! She is on the countdown! She is excited for her first show, but she doesn't want to mess up. I told her as long as she has confidence in herself and Ace she will do fine. She has Aunt Katina, Jessie, Grandma, Papa, Daddy, and me for support! I know she will do fine. I just hope that she doesn't get sick! LOL!

Well I have to get to work now!

Mommy Sick Now ...

Today I went to see my doctor because my gland by my right ear was swollen. Guess what? I have an ear infection. Mommy is feeling a little under the weather!! :( They gave me an antibiotic. I have taken my first dose of it earlier today. I am taking Aleve for the pain. I never realized how painful an ear infection is. I will REALLY sympathise with my children when they have one. OUCH!!

Oh, I did receive a call from Kami's doctor and her urine has come back negative for anything! :) Glory to GOD!! We are still waiting on the results from her stool samples. We should have those results by Friday.

I will post the results when I get them! :)

Monday News

Yesterday was a normal Monday! All the children made it through the day at school! Yeah!! :) Knock on wood, they are going to make it through each day for the rest of the year. :) I really think the antibiotic that the doctor put Kami on is really helping her. Kami is really good with taking medicine. Taylor brought home a field trip permission slip yesterday for BUSH GARDENS! Taylor was so excited. The children that have good grades and no office or bus referrals get to go on this trip. She wants her Daddy to go with her on the field trip. The field trip costs $60.00 per person. OUCH! Don't worry she is going to be able to go. Her field trip is on May 15th.

I spoke with my Grandma yesterday and she is giving Taylor or own knitting needles and bag for her crafts. I told Taylor and she was so excited! She wanted me to take her last night!! LOL! My grandma wants me to bring her to her house so they can sit down with each other. So, I am going to have to see when we will be able to go there. We have a busy weekend coming up. Saturday, we are going to Katina's and the girls (my niece's Jessie, Kaila, and Taylor) have to get their horse's ready for the horse show on Sunday. My sister just tells me where to be and what time. Katina runs the show! LOL! Then, Sunday is the big day. Taylor's first horse show! I think mommy is more nervous than Taylor! Hopefully I will be able to post some pictures Sunday after the show.

Have a GREAT day!! :)

A Few Updates

These past few days have been crazy! Wednesday I had to leave work early because both my girls were in the clinic throwing up. Poor things! I am on a first name basis with the school nurse. She said when I walked in, you know you really don't need to work. LOL! But anyway, I took the girls home and they both got their PJ's on and laid down. Taylor was feeling a little better by the time Chase got home from after school program. The only thing she was still complaining about was her throat. Kami was still sleeping, so I let her sleep. I started cooking dinner and when Ronnie got home he went to Kami's bedroom to check on her. When he said her name, she sat up and starting throwing up everywhere. We got her down and put her in the bath. She had it all in her hair. We took the bedspread and sheets off the bed and washed them. After her bath she was fine for about an hour or so and then it started all over again. It was coming out of both ends. So, I called the on-call doctor and she told me for an hour every 15 minutes give Kami a teaspoon of Karo Corn Syrup, this should help stop her vomiting. We did and guess what, She stopped! :) Kami didn't go to sleep until around 1am. Taylor, Kami and I passed out in the living room.

Thursday, I had to stay home from work to take care of the girls. I took them to the doctor to find out what was going on with them. Taylor was fine, she just had a bug. Kami on the other hand, they did blood work & tested her for strep. The strep test came back negative. The results on her blood work we haven't heard anything. They sent me home with 3 containers for stool samples and a prescription for an antibiotic. The stool samples were delivered to the doctor on Saturday. They said that it should take 3 to 5 days to get the results. So, we are pretty much playing the waiting game. :( I don't like waiting for the results. I wish I knew now!

Sunday, we went to my mother-in-laws for my niece Kaela's birthday party. I can't believe that she is 11 years old. We had a good time there. Kami played Mario Cart the whole time. Taylor and Kaela have them tennis shoes called Heeley's, so they did that the majority of the time. Chase was playing with Lydia's son Tristan the whole time. After we left there our family went and ate dinner with Lydia, Todd, Kaela, and Tristan at KFC. We had fun!! :)

My sister called my yesterday and she has found a 96 Tahoe for sale for $500.00. Ronnie is going to go and look at it to see if it is worth buying or not. I hope so. I would love to have another big vehcile.

When I find out the results from Kami's tests I will let everyone know.

Update on Taylor ...

Taylor had the best time with her great grandma yesterday. My grandma taught Taylor how to knit. My grandma was amazed with how fast Taylor caught on to the whole concept. Taylor had about 12 inches of yarn all knitted up. Taylor said she didn't want to stop knitting. She was mad that her Dad came early to pick her up. She wanted to stay there all day long. Ronnie and I had an appointment yesterday after work for some "relief". All I can say about that appointment is "GOD IS GOOD"! After our appointment Ronnie went bowling like he does every Tuesday. Taylor and I went to pick up Chase and Kami from Heather's. On the way to Heather's, we passed some construction work on Midlothian where they are building a new shopping center, Taylor turned to me and said,"Mommy do you know that they are putting a yarn and fabric store in there"? I just smiled at her and said, "So I take it you would like some yarn to knit?" She said, "Yep. I want to make great grandma something. She always makes me blankets. I love my blankets mommy." I said okay when they open up we will go. Taylor really loved spending time with Great Grandma. She wants to go to Great Grandma's every time she is sick. So be prepared Grandma, you have a new buddy! Thanks again for watching her Grandma! :)

I have a couple of prayer request today, my sister's dog, Shay was involved in a dog fight on Monday. It was a really bad one. Shay and the other dog Cassie were both hurt. Cassie is hurt really bad. Shay is a huge part of my sister's family. My niece's were really upset! Please pray that Shay and Cassie make it through all their injuries. Also, please pray for my friend Heather's daughter Baylie. She is having some health concerns right now. They have ran some tests on her and they haven't found out the results yet. Heather and her family really need every ones prayers. Please pray for them.

Poor Taylor .....

Last night Taylor was complaining about her stomach hurting. She ate some of her dinner and went to sleep around 7:00 pm. When she woke up this morning she was still complaining that her stomach hurt. Since I couldn't stay home from work today, I called my Grandma (she lives in the West End), to see if she could take care of Taylor today while I went to work. Of course my Grandma said, 'Of course.' My grandma is a wonderful person! When I arrived at her house to drop Taylor off, I walked in and my grandma had her recliner chair covered up with a big blanket. Taylor sat down and my grandma tucked her in all nice and snug. When I saw that chair with the blanket, it brought back a lot of my childhood memories. My grandma use to do that for my sister and me when we were sick. It made me smile. :) I know that Taylor is in good hands. My grandma will take really good care of her. Thank you grandma! I love you! :)
