Re: [re: PEDPID] Feeling Down

Hi ,

Hang in there, it is really hard when those bugs don't want to leave. I hate the

stress of always wondering if this abx is going to work. is on her

second abx as well, also for sinusitis than a week after the first abx she

developed Bronchitis as well. she is so high on steroids she's hard to take

right now. This is not to make light of 's illness, just to let you know

your not alone. We are thinking and praying for you and your family.

Sigh.

's still feeling so crummy with this persistent sinus infection. She's

now had 14 days of Cefzil and 4-1/2 days of Augmentin. She can certainly rally

when there's something fun to do (the park, playing with her cousin), but in

between she just lays on the couch looking pale. She's not deathly ill, just

dragging.

To make matters so much worse, DH is in one of his Jekyll and Hyde phases. He

gets this way during times of stress. Right now we have financial woes, plus

his boss got transferred and he doesn't like the new one -- he'll eventually

switch to a new branch (banking) under the old, beloved boss, but that will

bring more turmoil due to the changes of going to a new branch and having to

start fresh with a new set of employees. There's always turmoil in those

cases,

always people who don't want to cooperate with the change and have to be

replaced, etc. He does not handle change well at all. Or stress, for that

matter.

I'm tempted to suggest medication or something, but during these phases he's

like a different person, impossible to discuss things with. OH! To top it off,

he has a cold, the same one the girls and I have been fighting for a couple

weeks, but you'd think he had Ebola, you know?

I'd call my mom to gripe, but our long distance bill was $35 last month and

that's just too much!!

Kate is still dripping and coughing after two weeks of her cold... fussy

enough here and there to consider ears, but I'm not sure enough to take her

in.

Sigh again.

Well, thanks for listening. I sure could use an ear right now. I could handle

it all but when DH is being such an unbelievable pill, it's just so much

harder. Sometimes I feel like one of those wives who've agreed to be harmless

in

exchange for their keep.

I wish I could slip some Prozac in his dinner, you know? just kidding.

(sort of!)

get a break? Sorry to hear about your dh...i know when mine is sick, its

can " rest " . MEN! sometimes, its like having a third child!!! I hope

everyone gets better from their sinus and mucus stuff...we just got over

that!

I hope is better soon. Just think, we may be joining you in the

" steroid high " dep't soon, I can just imagine how fun may be, considering

she's inflicting prime sinus behavior on us already! I'm trying so hard to

remain patient.

Hopefully they will have something helpful to say when I talk to the ped

about her sinus CT, and hopefully that's tomorrow!
