Looking back and looking forward

As the year ends and the new year rolls around I look back and breathe.  I made it through a really rough year!  I am amazed that I am able to put things into thoughts, since there is so much going on in my head.  So as I try to put my thoughts down please forgive me of my randomness and jumping all over.

I had to take Rhett into the doctors before Christmas his breathing was increased, he maxed out on his oxygen at 4 liters on his tank and 5 liters on his machine at home, and even with the breathing treatment it didn't help much.  The doctor decided to put him on antibiotics we are hoping that the antibiotics help kill whatever is making him struggle more than normal.

Found out while I had Rhett at the doctors office that Nikole had or has a bladder infection again.  I was frustrated since the test was done in November and I never heard anything.  Normally isn't it: "No news is good news"?  Whatever I plan on following up to the point of harassment if this continues since the doctor wasn't sure how they even missed that to begin with.  She just finished her antibiotics and I pray that will be the end but I highly doubt that since we all know that when you are in school you don't have the freedom to use the bathroom as you like.  Well she does because of a health care plan, but like she actually will use that privilege. Yeah Right!!  At least the pills she took were horse sized and that usually dissuades her from wanting to take them again.  LOL!!

Hi-ho hi-ho back to the doctors we go!

Gavin was lucky to get sick the weekend after Christmas if being sick is lucky.  Vomiting most the day Saturday and coughing like crazy through the weekend.  Lucky child has a virus and we have to pray it goes away so he doesn't get anything else on top of this to share with his siblings.

Dylan was also a lucky little man and got an ear infection over the weekend too!  He is now on antibiotics and I am praying it goes away with this medicine so I don't have to take him back to the doctors for a while.  I mean I like the doctor and all but gosh it would be nice not to see him on a monthly basis.  At least after some ibuprofen and some numbing drops he was able to sleep through the night Saturday and cough like crazy the rest of the weekend.

The last visit to the doctors this year thanks to Gavin and Dylan.  They certainly know how to send off the year and welcome a new year.  Ok boys pull it together so we can get through the month of January without making unscheduled doctor visits.  I think I can, I think I can....

As I look forward to a new year I am planning on changing my outlook and I am planning on accomplishing so much more.  I would love to go into details but it will have to be a surprise, since I haven't set it up yet and I am not in the thick of it yet.  I can't wait to get started!  I am almost excited seeing what I can do to make this next year so much better.  One goal I have is to blog every week since things get a little busy, but I am planning on at least once a week updating the blog so that way I can keep you informed on my progress and I hope that by doing so encourages me to be better.

I hope you all have a very Happy New Year!!!
