When do kids STOP getting sick?!?!

I keep asking myself this question, over and over again. I tell you, you get one well, the other one goes down. I, I, I!!!!! It's my Becca Boo. I was ready, had my hand on the doorknob to go to work at 5:15am this morning when Rebecca stops me, and says, Momma, I don't feel good. As soon as I say, What's wrong? The ole, turn a shade of WHITE (because Becca is a tan color, being of Asian descent), and begins to do the "UH OH MOMMY". I just dropped everything, purse, lunch, Calc books.....and we dash to the bathroom! Ah, made it. Thank God. Now, mind you, she did that about 50 more times and made it, well, just about all the time. *yes cleaning commenced*

What Becca had about 2 weeks ago, she had again. The calling of dinosaurs (upchucking), not holding down food or fluids, turning shades of white/off white, barely sleeping, coughing like crazy............but there was one more kicker this time around. FEVER 101.5. Nice! *not*

Needless to say, I called into work (first time since getting my great new job) and felt like a heel!!!! I was hoping to NOT take off until our vacation!! Oh well, when you have kids? You need to not plan so far ahead. As soon as I got off the phone with my coworker, there went Becca again! This time screaming bloody murder!!! Her throat is raw by now, and with upchucking?! Truly, it's one of those times where you wish you could take on that pain so they are ok. Been there, done that with that when I was a kid/adult. But not her.

Anyway, got into the doctor and wasn't ready for everything they came back with!! Ear infection (they cleaned out her IMPACTED right ear which was full of dark green and black wax. I almost went nuts when they pulled that out!!!), bronchitis from asthma unspecified related and pharynxitis? *spelling might be off*. The worst they said was her ear infection. She screamed when they pulled that mess out. Once it was out, she looked at it and said, "That came from me?". I said yes. She said, EWW mommy. I said, aren't you glad she took that out?! *of course the typical toddler answer* NO. *oy*

Got the meds, she's now holding down food. She's lost 2 pounds in 2 weeks. Pediatrician wasn't too happy about that, because it's too much too quick, but her upchucking and not eating has alot to do with it. She ate well this evening. Very well. Just cut her portion back a bit because of her stomach being so sensitive right now.

Daddy gets to stay home with her tomorrow. Mommy needs to be saved from the steam cleaner and the throwup patrol! hehehe...*s* I know, not funny, but trust me, after you've been thrown up on, pooped on, peed on, thrown food at, HECK, what's a little more?! You know?! That's part of being a MOM! I'll take it anyday!!!! ANYDAY!!!!

I'm no part time mom, that's for sure!!!!

Other than that, pray for my Becca.......pray that Matthew doesn't get it! Or mom and dad!! Just need everyone healthy.......

OH I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SUMMER! I want to do a "mini vacation" for us! We've NEVER had a vacation with just the four of us! It's time! Especially before the kids get into school!!

Momma Kooky *off upchuck patrol*
