Ugh...

Today... I am so mentally tired.  With the kids getting over the flu.  Thank you Jesus that is over with!  Payton and Jackson still have bad coughs but no more fevers!  Today is the 3rd day with no fever.  Well yesterday....  Addy wakes up from her nap and starts to have diaherra she threw up 6 times.  FUN!  She is actually a really good sick kid.  So during one of her trips to the bathroom she passed what looked like blood clots and when I wiped her there was nothing but bright red blood!  Scare me!!!  So I did some research online and ended up calling the DR, who of course told me to go to the ER.  I had to wait until Nathan got home from work, he had to work late last night.  I was really worried and scared.  You see Addy has had this diaherra thing about every 3-5 weeks it seems, for the last 6 months????  Nathan and I had decided if it happens again that we should take her to the DR.  Well it happened again and much worse.  So I take Addy to the ER and we get there at 9 pm.  It is crowded!  And I mean not enough seats crowded... awful.  Why does the ER have to be so awful???  So we waited and waited... people are getting antsy and rude.  I'm getting antsy and feel like being rude.  But I wasn't.  So after waiting for about 3 hours and contemplating leaving.... I was surronded by PEACE a feeling that can only come from God.  Alot of people were praying for us. So I left!  I really felt like she could wait until the morning ( I made sure that the bleeding had stopped before we left and it had ) I also didn't think we would be seen for like another 12 hours and by then her DRs would be open so why not go home and sleep and see the DR in the morning... so we did just that!  We saw the DR this morning and she seemed concerned and wants me to get 3 different stool samples (meaning a sample from three different poops) and then they will do lab work.  She thinks its more than constipation since there is vomitting with it.  So for now I have to be on top of and make sure I know when she "goes" and get it in time! FUN!
