Its been this kind of week over here.
Don’t come for me if you don’t like meds for kids, please. Its survival. When you have one baby go down with pneumonia, and suddenly the other two babies exhibit the same symptoms, you get on trying to comfort anyone and everyone you can 💪
Also, since one of our babies is medically fragile, it was a nice motivator to actually get a couple little tools that have been on my list for a little while 🙂
The first one I’ve wanted since I stayed having kids but never bit the bullet. Buuuuut now I did. I grabbed an otoscope off of Amazon.
I know we’d still have to go in to get things confirmed if someone had an ear infection, but now we won’t go in for nothing.
Aaaaand what I’m most excited about – I got an oximeter!
We got a really good scare once when we brought a baby to the ER and their blood oxygen was so low, that child was clearly on the way out 💔 So when aforementioned baby showed the same levels of lethargy as they had all that time ago, it was a good push for me to get my own pulse oxygen monitor. And it works! Trust me, we’ve ALL played with it, lol!
Anyway. It appears more of the illness has passed through, and hopefully our life will feel a little less daunting soon. God knows exactly where we’re at and He hasn’t forgotten us. We will all come through the messy stuff.
