drooly jools update

Posted on October 9, 2003 by wrekehavoc

that wacky, kooky child of mine.

apparently, after a long drive in the night air, jools was doing a whole lot better. they gave him some oxygen at Fairfax Hospital, but they have not yet tested him for RSV. dude was apparently sitting, looking around at everything going on in the ER. quite content. nothing like the child who was panting like a puppy trying to get in a breath. another ER miracle cure. the doctor has not yet come around to jools yet. when he does, i imagine BS will ask him why an RSV test has not been administered.

and that is what i know. hopefully, this miracle sure will stick around. i don’t know if i can handle yet another sleepless night. although obviously, if i need to, i will.

jools is sick

my jools is really, really sick. BS just took him to the ER while i am watching BC. jools can’t breathe, and the pediatrician wants to rule out RSV. we have had three days of this, and believe me, nothing is as scary as watching someone, especially an infant, fight for every breath.

stay tuned.

i have an interview tomorrow.

of course, i think it is pretty safe to note that that will probably be restated as “i had” an interview. considering the federal government is shutting down; metro is shutting down; and a little hurricane will be paying a visit, i think tis safe to say we will be rescheduling this.

welcome to my world. i get an interview and mother nature conspires against me.

happiness

If you’re not careful some delicate part of your circulatory system is going to explode. Take up yoga or something. You’re probably making people nervous.

i am not supposed to be online. i am not supposed to even be upright. but daytime TV is abominable. yesterday, i was lucky that the History Channel (AKA the World War II channel) had lots of programs about the history of food and food-related products. So i can share with you the history and development of the drive-in window, how McDonalds french fries are made, the story about coke, pepsi, hershey’s, and chef boyardee, just to name a few. (i remember my gram actually pointing out people in her building who apparently owned chef boyardee, so who knows – maybe i met the italian cook once. whoopee.)

anyway, it is making me crazy being like this. it isn’t like i don’t like relaxation. i just loathe it when everything falls on poor BS’s head. he has to do all of his stuff, all of my stuff, and then some. he has school. it looks like this morning, BC has a sore throat. we took her temp and it is only 99.3. she is perky otherwise, so we are giving school a try. but mark my words – i bet she has strep again. when it rains, it pours.

my goal is to keep BS from imploding. having him do everything does not help me relax one iota. it stresses me out beyond belief. if i thought the baby needed more time growing inside me, i guess i would understand this exercise a bit better. but all i see is an exercise in futility that is going to leave me and my husband exhausted before the real exhaustion begins.

one way ticket to palookaville

i just returned back from a lovely morning hooked up to a fetal monitor. my blood pressure has been going kablooey over the weekend, and so this morning, i thought it best to visit my friendly neighborhood OBs. my pressure, which has been picture-perfect throughout my pregnancy, was up to 150 over 90 this morning, so i ended up getting hooked up to a machine. baby is fine (though the stinker decided to make it tough for the nurse to find him, which scared me for a few minutes until we found him and his heartbeat), and after a half an hour in the dark visualizing the ocean (yes, that’s what i do when my blood pressure goes up), my pressure was down to a respectable 120 over 80. they took blood, as they found a little protein going on in me, and sent me home with a big old lecture not to wait all weekend but to call them if ever i have any problems. and they sent me home on bedrest.

now, bedrest sounds like a dream to the unitiated, but i basically have to lie on my side and not get up except to visit the loo and to shower. i don’t know how women do this for months at a clip. the thought of the added pressure this puts on the rest of the family does not escape me, and that bums me out quite a bit. not to mention that daytime TV really stinks. if all goes well, i will go in on friday and get re-evaluated and see whether they need to induce me or let nature continue taking its proverbial course.

so please note – i will likely be a bit scarce. so you guys behave out there; and if you don’t, make sure you tell me good stories so i can live vicariously through you 😉
