A Baby in the Tummy

My son told me that his girlfriend had a baby in her tummy. I told him Lauren did not and he preceded with "she showed me her tummy"...LOL!! I will have to say at least they got the order right...they became boyfriend/girlfriend when they were two (yes 2), recently Lauren has told her mommy (Page) that her and Micah are gonna get married and Micah has told me the same thing. A couple of weeks ago Page told me that Lauren wanted Micah to spend the night (no we didn't let this happen). And now Lauren has a baby. I asked Page to give my son a running chance before she told Aaron (Lauren's Daddy).
Nursing Buddies!!
Living with an Asthmatic Child...
Micah woke up last night having trouble breathing, which in our case happens a lot and we treat it with his albuterol. If you saw my child trying to breath you would probably rush him to the ER, but for me it is almost normal to see him use those extra muscles to breath. So as I was holding him last night two hours after he had his treatment and I realized he was working even harder than usual. I counted his respirations and they were 55 breaths/min...WHAT??...the norm for a child his age is between 20-30 breaths/min. So I called the doctor's office and a nurse called me back and told me to do another breathing treatment and take him to the ER. She also asked me was he turning blue. I wanted so bad to say lady if he was turing blue we wouldn't be having this conversation!! So off to the ER for a visit (2am). They gave him a steroid to open up his lungs and checked his O2 stat, which was 93. They almost admitted him, but didn't and let him go home with Aaron and I since his O2 went up to 95. The next morning he is a different child from last night. He is running, playing wanting to eat. The meds don't even phase him most of the time. He can tell you almost what everyone will do for him (because he has had most of them before during other attacks) and he will even tell me how much he thinks he is supposed to get. He will say "Mom, the doctor said only 2puffs a day." He usually takes only two different meds a day, but right now we have to take 7 different meds untill he is cleared up. They even thought he might have pneumonia from the x-rays so they started him on antibiotics. I actually grabbed all the meds and went to my friend's house who is a pharmacist and asked her explain why he might need so many drugs and what time I should give them, cause there are so many. I pray that one day he will grow out of this cause his daddy was the same way and he was through with it by the age of four.

Easter at the Prophett Lake
We had Easter at the Prophett lake. Each family brings a side dish and some eggs to hide. We had over 240 eggs to hide this year. We played ball, ate as a family, threw sticks and rocks in the lake, and SEARCHED FOR EGGS!! One of the questions Micah asked me this morning was how many pictures did I have to take of him and I said about 50 and he said "how abou 3," I just laughed!! The first picture is of Aaron and I tickling Micah, so we could get one more picutre out of him. The next picture is of my sister and her family and Micah just had to squeeze himself into that picture (but nooooo i couldn't get him to do a family picture with us!!). As you can see my son found the prize egg, but the funny part was when he found it he thought it was trash and tried to throw it away. And the last picture is of Micah's cousins Jake and Anna Grace. HAPPY EASTER!!

THE STUDENT NURSE'S PRAYER
THE STUDENT NURSE'S PRAYER
Lord: I know we go through this every day but please give me the knowledge as to why I actually wanted to go to nursing school. Lord, give me the strength to make it through those boring three hour lectures without falling asleep. Lord, please give me the patience to make it through twelve hour clinicals with instructors that can't just give you the right answer and on the same note, give the nurses the ability to remember what it was like to be a student and give us just a little more respect. Lord, give me the endurance to read all the assigned readings and be able to remember it when I am taking a test with four right answers. Lord, give my family and friends the ability to realize I really am on the edge of insanity. Finally, Lord, give me the vision to see that one day I will be a real nurse and I will never have to wear this ugly uniform again.

Fishing trip gone crazy...
After church on Sunday we decided to go out to the lake and fish. I brought my books to study and Aaron and Micah brought the fishing poles. We had a great time except for the bite Micah got on his arm (he said it was an ant??)....he broke out in a rash but his breathing was good. We took him home and gave him some Benadryl. On Monday he started to wheeze. So after almost 4 months of no albuteral treatments (record breaking!!), we had to give him those treatments again. Now he is walking around telling everyone they need to pray for him. He really hates those treatments and so do I!! We did get some great pics from the day though and we had a great time being together...
