Baths




baths and more baths! One of the things I am trying to do for Shelby to help her butt heal. Sometimes I just "hose" her down, but mostly I just try and let her soak. She likes it so far. I read that sometimes the sores can get so bad that even water hurts them. But Shelby does not seem to mind at all.
I had to bring all of the kdis to drop Brady off for preschool this morning. I haven't had to do it in awhile, but it went well, not wonderful, but better than I thought. He had so much fun today with a valentine's party, movie and popcorn!
I must admit, I'm feeling a little low today. Not horrible, but Shelby's sore is really overwhelming in regards to how much pain I know she's in. I am chosen not to cry myself now when I change her. I just do what I have to do when I change her and pick her up as soon as I can to comfort her. I feel like there has to be something better for her than what I'm doing, but the doctors don't seem to think so. She has another chiro appointment today and between that and the olive oil/garlic drops, I am hoping this will help solve her ear infection since I stopped the antibiotics. But, the chiro is also a little spendy, so I'm hoping our insurance will "step up" to the plate soon? I don't know. Insurance is frustrating! I paid close to 80 bucks yesterday for her appointment? Why do we have insurance? For it to not be helpful? Frustrating. I'm trying anything for her though, and I don't care what it costs!
Tom is gone all day today, working and then going to the college to do paperwork, financial aid and take his pre-entrance exams! So here I am! Suppose I should get used to it!

Megan..I am so sorry that money/insurance has to be part of your worries right now! It was part of ours as well when Finn was a baby...we did the chiro for about a year 3x/week at $35 a time...spendy for sure! But I heard just wednesday that Dr. Westerburg does adjustments for $25 a time and does not use insurance. So even without insruance it sounds like it might be cheaper...just a thought.
I have been checking all day...glad to see a post! Have been praying for you!

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my ...

Round two!

I got to come home for a little bit and play with Brady and Halle, give them a bath (me a shower) and then laid them down for a nap. I took some ibuprofen, I think I have an overdose of a "caffeine, lack of sleep, still wearing my contacts" headache! So now I am going to try and nap a little and then it's back to the hospital with Shelby for round two of SLUMBER PARTY AT THE HOSPITAL WITH A SICK BABY! Not worthy of all caps joy, but I'm trying to be optimistic about it all! So we had a rough night last night, she didn't sleep for a full hour from 9-1am, then she had a bit of an issue with her nebulizer treatment (meaning she didn't like it) and then her IV came out. Yadda yadda. Finally at 3 am she was ready to settle down and then she slept till 7am. On my chest. Luckily I was tired enough to get most of that sleep as well, until about 6:30ish. I just feel so bad for her! I felt bad for me a little too about 1:00 am. I wanted to just cry my eyes out from bein...

Who did we welcome home TODAY????

Shelby Capri Bergman 6 lbs. 5 oz. , 19.5 inches long May 30th, 2008 10:52 pm I just want you all to know that everything went picture perfect. She's beautiful, she's healthy and she's very content. I don't have a ton of pictures yet, my mom took pictures during delivery and I took some today when we got home, but since we don't have internet at home now, it will be slow coming! I had my membranes stripped at 9:45 am on Friday. Afterwards, Tom and I went to Walmart, Applebees's, my sister's classroom to help move some stuff (I supervised... I was a little sore), and then home. I took a nap and Tom started getting ready for supper. His 4 hour long, grilled ribs...and that is how the story begins! So we keep joking that I am going to go during his first trial run with the ribs. This starts at around 3:30 pm. Then, we run out of propane and start all over a...
