Morning...
Skipping the good part 'cause I'm NOT awake yet.
Well Rainee's apnea monitor went off about 6 times last night. The scariest one being 42 seconds. I interrupted that one and massaged her gently until she started breathing. I don't like this new life.
She's also continuing to desat even though she's on a liter of oxygen. Not as low, but still desats, and she wakes up when she desats. Poor thing I would too, its scarey to not be breathing.
I got all my errands done yesterday, and we found time to let the kiddos play at a park, and go for a drive. Got home tired, took a nap while dh watched kids, and then our date night. Our date night was low key, and quite relaxing. We ended up going and visiting at my parents for awhile. And for once in a million years there were no kids there. So we had a nice uninterupted visit.
DH is doing a extra shift today (I think) we unfortunately desperately need the money. Our hospital bills are accumulating. We could theoretically pay them, but then I would have no help, and right now I have to have some relief or things could get ugly.
Oh, did I mention we have a new family member? We have had for almost 2 weeks. His name is stinky, and he's a 8 week old border-collie look alike puppy. He's actually lab, terrier, blue heeler, and something else.
(MUTT in other words) He's quite gentle with our kids, and yep I'm nuts.
Things were semi-sane when we brought him home, but oh well. Princess is a year older, and taking good care of him, so that is making it work.
Currently I have FOUR kids with Big wheels driving around my house. (YIKES) We bought one for Kaylin for her birthday with money Grandma S just sent. And last night we found a $3 one at Goodwill for Mari. Their to be used outside, but well 'cause their new we let them have them inside for a bit.
Kaylin is currently MAD 'cause Mari got a new bike and its not his birthday. Princess is mad 'cause her bike is old, and she wants to know why we couldn't get her a new one. And mommy just threatened to take ALL the bikes away and put them in the closet.
We tried to satisfy them.
But we are like that huh? God gives us something new, and we say, "You know God, I like this, but I'd rather have that." UGH Gotta learn some contentment.
Well, I'm waiting for phone calls today, so won't be online much.
Have a great day.

**Sigh** I've been offline and just went back to catch up with your blogs. Tonia, I'm so sorry. You have my prayers. I just shared everything with my dh (he's an RN) and a strong believer.. we'll all be praying. May God carry you and little Rainee and may He give the physicians the wisdom they need to find out what's going on.
i thought of you at 4 this morning when i was up with Gordon for the millionth time.
God will keep you and sustain you.
*hugs*
How scary that must be. My daughter seems to stop breathing at night sometimes too. Its hard and worse in the summer so I have her sleep in my room so I can wake her when she does it. It makes my nights so long but I need to make sure shes ok. She is going to be 8 and I hope she grows out of it.
