You know you're crazy when.....

April 11, 2001

Okay-- I now know that I am CRAZY. I took a picture of ph when he

fell asleep with the nebulizer in his mouth sitting in our Lazy Boy.

Did I think it was cute or something? I don't know what came over me.

He has been needing breathing treatments and has been VERY cranky the

last few days. He just screams about everything b/c he feels so bad.

ANyway-- I gave him the neb and got him set up in the chair-- went to

take care of the other two guys and came back to him & he was sleeping

and doing the breathing treatment at the same time-- the mouth piece

was still in his mouth and he was snoozing ~sigh~

He was SO exhausted b/c he tried to take a nap earlier but kept waking

up due to his harky barky cough and wheezing--

I think needs to go to the doc to get antibiotics-- everything is

still green and he sounds awful, too. Do I wait until Easter Monday to

see how he is doing or do I go in early so that he will _hopefully- be

well FOR EASTER? WHY is every holiday like this. ph will probably

end up needing antibiotics, too-- he always does when things get this

bad. I feel bad if I bring them in before Easter hoping to get them on

antibiotics early and I feel bad if I wait until after Easter and they

are REALLY bad... and of course I don't want to spend ANOTHER holiday in

the ER.... who would have ever thought that we'd have to THINK about

these things???

Tomorrow being Holy Thursday and all, boy do I ghave a lot to ponder.

Will I be able to stay awake and pray with Christ in the garden or will

I fall asleep. Sometimes I feel like I lack the faith to deal with two

sick kids and one healthy one (he is a challenge, too) ANYWAY.... Holy

Thursday and Good Friday have a lot of meaning foir me-- for they are

what give meaning to my sufferings.. and thankfully we have Easter

Sunday after the suffering, huh?

I'm babbling on and on-- Hope that you guys all are well and your kids

are well for Easter!
