My little trooper....

This week has been a really rough one. It started last week when i thought i might be coming down with something..just a common cold..but it started getting worse instead of better and thats not normal for me. By monday i was bawling uncontrollably because i was in so much pain. My face hurt, my head was pounding, my teeth were aching. I had a doctors appointment the next morning so i just figured i would wait. So, turns out i have a severe sinus infection. I was prescribed anti-biotics and today i feel SO much better!! I had a root-canal done 2 years ago, and because anti-biotics weaken tooth enamel that part of my mouth is bugging me, but with a little tylenol i can manage. I wasnt the only ill one in the house. Rylen started coming down with something. He also started to get worse, and when he is really sick, he starts to get lethargic, barely speaks, doesnt sleep well, only wants to be held. I do love this time, because i can cuddle him all day and he doesnt move an inch, but at the same time no mother likes to see their child ill. He started running a fever yesterday morning and that is not normal at all for him, and i couldnt bring it down. I asked my mom to come down to help me out (at this point i still wasnt feeling well) and so they drove from winnipeg for the evening. We had supper, and she had also commented on his fever, and we took his temperature and it was high. I waited a little and about an hour later his breathing was becoming labored. We brought him to emergency and were lucky enough to get in right away. His fever still hadnt come down, and we were blessed with AMAZING staff (nurses & doctor) and they checked him out thoroughly. He was whimpering by this time. Turns out he had a bad case of croop (for the 2nd time in his little life) and they had to put a ventilator mask on him to open up his air way. He was trembeling in fear and we couldnt calm him down, but he got through it. They gave him a liquid steroid also for his air way, and some tylenol to bring his fever down. We brought him home and he was ok. But..he didnt have a very good night. I was so exhausted by this point, trying to fight off my own sickness as well..Ivon got up with him at night and was up for most of the night. I feel so blessed to have such a great husband. He takes such pride in his family, and he ALWAYS puts us first.
Rylen was much better today, and were hoping by the end of the week we will all feel better:)
