April 6, 2008 02:21:51 PM posted by Nonna Sorry to hear about mommy, hope you are feeling better!! As to how do you do that..... you go out and leave your children with a sitter with the rules. Then when you come home you question the heck out the sitter forcing hre to tell you the truth on how did they really they behave!!! You might have to bribe her with more $$$$!!!

Not again mommy...
Upon arriving home from the airport, I find Laura curled up on the couch, with covers on, and a 104.2 F fever. We call her OB/Gyn and talk to a nurse, who instructs us to call our primary and see about getting in the next morning. What? 104 F is too hot, and the acetomeniphine was not doing anything to help keep it down. So I packed her up in the car and took her to the emergency room. I dread visits like this without health insurance. The care and attention from the doctor was good but brief, maybe 30 minutes of our total visit time, the rest of the staff could have been more "on top of things", like not letting the IV run out before noticing it and changing it. She had to have the IV in to get two bags of fluids into her, as she was very dehydrated. Her bpm was 126, very high. We felt forgotten about most of the 4 hour visit. Not a good feeling for sure. They did do a flu swab and took blood out of both arms... lots of it. The flu swab turned out positive for Influenza A. The Dr. (John Smith, the girls loved hearing this when we got home. All of you Pocohauntus buffs should know why) thought it sounded like Laura had pnuemonia as well, but x-ray, which she was double shielded for, seemed to show otherwise. Hopefully this isn't a trend for Laura and this pregnancy. I am getting more and more prepared though, you never know when a quick visit turns into a 3 month stay. Despite what Laura tells me, and what I tell her about keeping healthy and what I ask of her, she likes the extra attention every now and again that these hospitals.
The girls stayed home with Grandma Cindy, and Reanna came over to help with the nighttime routine. Abby and Zoë didn't miss this chance to get all amped up and goof around while out from under our supervision. I had to sternly talk to them at bedtime to get them to stop giggling. We need to leave them unsupervised more often so they can learn correct behaviour while not being monitored. How do you do that?
Abby @ 4 years, 3 months, 19 days
Zoë @ 4 years, 3 months, 19 days
Enzo expected in 5 months, 21 days
