I wish there was a way that I could cut and paste my thoughts, and not have to keep typing and speaking them, but there isn't so here goes. I hope this blog will make us all smile, as we have been doing some more smiling around here!
I took Bosston to the doctor yet again yesterday, only this time, I didn't cry. Sunday through Tuesday were literally blurry, because I just couldn't stop crying. I kept thinking, praying, wishing, and retelling everything, that crying was just second nature. Today, however, the sun is shining, I am loving it, and I can get through all this medical jargon without tears. So CHEERS to me! Yesterday, with our pediatician, Dr. Jenny Bass, we did a chest xray, and more lab work. She wanted to make sure that his pneumonia did clear up, and with more lab work, means we are testing for more things. During our LONG visit, she checked Bosston over, ears, eyes, tummy, and even his toes. He did not want to take his green boots off, mostly because he was grumpy, but we will also say it was because they were his only GREEN for the day and he didn't want to get pinched. Anywho, when Dr. Bass checked his throat, she saw what she diagnosed as ulcerative tonsilitis, meaning he has a few ulcers on his tonsils. How painful does that sound? Poor little guy! :( So, that is treated by a yucky antibiotics, clindamycin. I just wish they could make ALL liquid medicine good tasting. I know they can't make them all taste like popsicles, or what have you, but at least make it so the parent doesn't feel like they have to hog tie their child just to give it to them. I mean, how are to convince your child this "yucky stuff" is going to make him or her better. I know what they are thinking, "yeah right mom, I am no dummy, that stuff is gross, and I am outta here!" So, wer are 24 hours into the medicine, and seeing some improvement. This is good.
As for the other labs, they are testing his kidneys, liver, they are testing for celiac disease, epstein barr ea antibody, and get this, mono. I know being sick is no laughing matter, especially with what we have gone through, but "HOW IN THE WORLD DOES A TWO YEAR OLD GET MONO?" I had to chuckle at first, but some lights did go on. It explains a lot, but that is not for sure. That test takes a few days, and is not always accurate in children under 6, so we will just wait and see.
Oh, I can not tell you how amazingly happy, and blessed we are. Monday, was a nightmare, and ALL day Tuesday was scary just the same. To know that our son, who we love and cherish so much, could've had a deadly disease still right now makes me quiver and ill. Bosston is still very sick, he still is very tired, very anemic, and there is still a grossness in his body, BUT, just after these last few days with the doctors working through the night, and friends and family praying for us, we know he is going to be just fine. It will take some time, and effort and maybe a few more trips to the hospital, but we can do this. I know this now, Nick and I are strong, and Heavenly Father has given us this chance to prove to him that trials do make us stronger, and that he is there ALWAYS to watch over us. Bosston is such a blessing, as all of our children our. My greatest joy in life right now, is from them. They are my world, and my whole purpose to this very day. Motherhood is such an amazing gift and responsibility, something that should not be taken lightly. When our children are sick, we ache, we worry, and we stand up and demand to get them better. That is what I have done. We are getting results, and I love that. I can start to make plans!!!!
My house is a mess. Laundry needs to be put away, and I don't think the bathroom will get its face lift before family gets here. I have not cooked a meal all week, we have had leftovers, KFC (gross) and pizza last night (thank you Mark and Alicia), my workout DVD is starting to collect dust, the floor needs to swept, dishes put away, but one thing that is happening right now, is we are getting better. Spring is coming, the sun is shining, Heavenly Father, and Jesus Christ are watching over us. We are loved, and taken care of (thanks to all of you) and most importantly, we are together as a family, and we are smiling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, wasn't that much better than two blogs ago!! To happier days, and the light at the end of the tunnel!
