After the past two weeks, I need to remember to be thankful and positive.  Chaitra's Grandfather passed away and she had to go to Michigan.  My Mom and Dad were in Branson.  My Mom normally watches Addison during the day but since both her and Chaitra were gone I had Addison for 11 hours a day for 4 days.  Normally, this would not be an issue but Elijah had croup, Isaiah had bronchitis and Addison was teething and NOT happy for 3 out of the 4 days!  Wow that was a trial and a half!  Easy to forget about the little things when you no longer have a baby.  You know like changing her in the front seat of the car because she has diarrhea and you have to go to the store.  The fact that this was the third dirty diaper in 45 minutes and she is NOT happy!  This was topped by Chaitra rolling and totaling her SUV on her way home with her brothers and finding out a very close family member is getting divorced. Then there was the trip to the ER, the trip to Urgent Care, thinking my parents' dog was going to have her puppies while they were gone *gag*yuck*, the basketball draft, football practice, playoffs, running over a football helmet (I will post this funny story later I promise!), my child getting his head run over by a bike (another funny one) and the ever looming job hunt.  So right now, today, while everything is calm I am being thankful very very thankful, in fact, for my life and the people in it!  I will save the rest of the news for later but for now here is
my Friday High Five...

5 things I am looking forward to

5.  Basketball - I am looking forward to an indoor sport!!   Now that football is over....*sniff*sniff*....Elijah needs something to look forward to instead of his current "football is over?!" sadness. 

4.  Football tournament - Elijah is on an All-Star team and will be in a tournament.  Hoping this too will help the football season ending sadness.  It is good to know that he loves what he does and I believe that is why he is so good.  Can't wait to see him hit again.  He is truly a joy to watch!

3.  Thanksgiving - Love the holidays, love the food, love time with family and am a passionate Black Friday shopper.  Can't wait!  I wish I had more money to spend on Black Friday but I will enjoy myself anyway.  I also love that this is my birthday weekend.  Now that I am older birthday's pretty much suck because they seem just like another day but I am still looking forward to it regardless.

2.  Christmas - Hard to get in the Christmas spirit when it is in the 70s outside but I love love love Christmas time!  Love the reason and the season! Need to start some shopping!!

5 THINGS SEEN OR LEARNED WHILE AT THE EMERGENCY ROOM

5.  My first thought when admiring the room of sickies waiting for medical advice at the ER was wow we have a bunch of redneck/white trash/ghetto sickies in this town.  Then I realized I was being way too judgmental since I was one of these people without being redneck/white trash/ghetto.  It took a second but I understood that at midnight there is no need to wear your Sunday best.  In fact, my own son was looking fine in his "I am going to the ER at 11 o'clock" look.  He was wearing red, black and cream plaid pajama pants with a fluorescent orange Incredible Hulk shirt topped only by the camo flip flops.  Yep we were all ONE in our fashion senses ~ who cares!  Amazing the ensemble you can come up with when you kid can't breathe, his lips are blue and his heart is racing!  More to life than fashion!!

4.  You get in much quicker if (1) your son cannot breathe and (2) the pediatric ER is still open.  Never been to the new pediatric ER but I will definitely return there if needed!  It was so fast!  I totally anticipated being there until the next morning but I wasn't!  Gotta love it!  Well not that you have to go there but that the option exists!  It is also funny to me how quickly kids appear to return to normal once you enter the ER and they know there is a shot looming in their near future!

3.  A little sense of fear comes when the nurse says Dr. C will be right in.  Dr. C is the pediatrician you fired because his nurse almost killed your second son at the age of 9 mos ( for real people, they had to start chest compressions but that is another post.....hmm....have I posted about that before?)  I will not lie I felt awkward especially after he recognized us!  Oh well he fixed my boy up so I can't complain!

2.  If you are in the Tulsa area and have been to the St. Francis ER, then you will know who I am about to talk about.  The lady who does the admitting portion of our ER visit was the sweetest lady named Dena.  Really she was so so sweet but she has claws for finger nails.   I am talking something almost Guiness worthy folks.  You know the ones that curl all the way around and curl in weird directions.  She couldn't even grab things with her finger tips but instead had to use her knuckles.  It is so weird to see and they are longer and longer everytime I see her.  They are thick and ugh just gross.  If you could have seen Elijah's face when he saw the claws!!  It was priceless!  I always say, "I don't know how you type with those!"  She can type with the curled up claws and pretty quickly considering she hunts and pecks with 6 inch curly q's on her fingers.  It is just so odd!  Quite a sight to see!

Due to recent flu epidemics and the ever looming fear of the H1N1 virus, there were signs everywhere to please wear a surgical mask if you had any cold or flu symptoms.  I understand this but their operation seemed pretty senseless.  It should be well known by now that one is supposed to cover their coughing and sneezing with the inner elbow instead of one's hand.  Although well known, many do not do so in the moment.  This leads me to my point.  In order to get the surgical mask, the patient would have to reach into the box of surgical masks to get one. 

HELLO! 

So now you have a room full of sick people reaching their grubby little hands into the box of ALL the surgical masks thereby contaminating them all!  Doesn't that just spread the symptoms, feed the virus and DEFEAT THE PURPOSE!!!!  Why isn't the hospital staff handing them out?  People are probably getting sicker by wearing the contaminated masks directly over their mouth and nose while breathing in the funk for hours while waiting to be seen!  If you didn't have it before, then you sure have it now!  Idiots, I tell you!
