What a week!

We have had a fun filled week of Doctor's in our house. First I had to take Parker to walk in Monday morning feeling pretty awful myself. She was not sick but had a personal problem we needed to see about. She is good as new after 3 hours there, we spent most of it in the waiting room. I took her on to school and headed to work myself. I had the bright idea to stop and get soup and a Coke to take with me to work. I think I managed to eat 4-5 spoons of soup and nurse the coke for hours. Usually I can down a coke just like water. I was freezing too, which is very unlike me. I told my Mother I don't ever remember being that sick. After a fretful night of up and down, I called my Asthma/Allergy Doctor for a work in appointment. They got me in at 9 am. I was called back within 5 minutes and they did every test you can imagine. After a couple of peak flow tests, a breathing treatment, CBC to check my white count, a chest x-ray confirmed, I have pneumonia.

Today, Grant got sent home from daycare with a fever. We are pretty sure he has an ear infection because I most likely have bacterial pneumonia and not viral. We are headed back to walk-in tomorrow at the pediatrician's office. Please send good thoughts, the wait will not be as bad as Monday.

Tonight we had a catastrophe -- we couldn't find Bunny. You might be wondering who is Bunny? Bunny is Parker's lovey, she has had since she was 3 months old. We have infant pictures of her holding Bunny, always slept with her. I spent 45 minutes looking every where for her, I turned this house upside down looking. Our bedroom looks like someone ran-sacked it. Brandon had class tonight so I sent him a frantic text message for assistance and immediate call. As you can imagine, Parker was hysterical but she trying so hard to be a big girl. We have many impostor bunnies but only one real one. Parker took one of the others but with her sad blue eyes said "that is not my Bunny" I told her I know and I would do everything I could to find the real bunny. I looked everywhere, I started thinking maybe she got thrown away. It was not until I literally threw everything in the floor that I found her. I was never so happy to find a stuffed animal in my life! By then Parker had cried herself to sleep, I woke her up so she would know Bunny had been found. She said "Thank you Mommy" her eyes still wet with tears. I have tear filled eyes just typing about this. It was an awful, terrible thing to her. It tells us she is not ready to give up Bunny. Thankfully, Grant is not attached to anything. Bunny is thread bear and we pray every time she goes for a swim in the washing machine, she comes out okay. I put her in a lingerie bag inside a pillow case on the delicate cycle and air dry her. Oh and why this happening poor little Grant was screaming in his bed because he just wanted his Mommy to hold him because he is sick too. When Brandon called, I had already located Bunny.

And before you all ask why we don't have a back up Bunny. My mom bought Bunny in Florida at the Carter's outlet, we have searched eBay many times and come up empty. The company who manufactured her is no longer in business. This is the reason for our collection of impostor bunnies, many similar but none the same.

Please forgive any spelling and/or grammatical errors. I am on many meds and now recovering from this catastrophic event that happened in the middle of this post. Now I am off to try and repair some of the madness in our bedroom. I will update on Grant tomorrow.
