This past week was a rough one, I'm glad things turned out the way the did because I can't even fathom it going the other way. Plain and simple-Henny could have died. I hate thinking that way but it's all I can think about. I have tears in my eyes just typing the words.
REWIND
Wednesday, I got a text from Linda (our wonderful daycare lady who we would be lost without) telling me I had to pick Henny up because he had a fever. I have never seen him look more pitiful!
I picked all the boys up and brought them home. Henny wouldn't eat much and would cry he wasn't being held. It was a long night, up every hour and multiple doses of tylenol and ibu. Thursday wasn't much better and by the evening, I packed him up and took him to Urgent care. (thank you to our awesome neighbor for hanging with the big boys)
Ear infection, of course! That was my suspicion because he was pulling at his ear. Home we went and daddy picked up our rx on his way home. Another sleepless night for mama and Henny. At around 5am I heard him grunting and tooting in his swing but he wasn't crying and I wasn't getting up.
He was a lot happier when we got up at 7, than the night before. We did normal morning things....change diaper, find a poopy wipe in his diaper...WAIT WHAT?!? No wonder he was sick!!! He had somehow managed to eat a wipe. It was still whole and partially encased in poop.(i took a picture but i won't subject you to it) I know for a fact that I didn't accidentally leave it in there the night before during a changing because I didn't use at wipe! He had barely peed in his diaper and I had told him that he needed to go potty more or mama would take him to the dr again.
Much Better!
How does a 5 month old eat a wipe?!?!?!? I have no idea and it makes me feel like a horrible mom! How scary that must have been for him when it was actually going down. It breaks my heart to think he was all by himself choking on a wipe and finally got it down. And then the belly ache he must have had! I truly believe that he had at least two guardian angels watching over him. There is no way that he should have been able to eat that without choking and then to be able to pass it! The antibiotics may have helped him poop it out but going down, someone up above was definitely with him!
We still have been having sleepless nights, but that's due to teething and a stuffy nose. Poor kid, just can't catch a break!!! I traumatized both of us last night, I used nasal saline spray in his nose so he could breathe....he squirmed, the nozzle went in a little too far, yep, talk about feeling like the worst mom! After using the trusty booger sucker, he was all clear. Ate a bottle and went back to sleep......for a few hours.
The time off gave me some time to spend with the other two as well. Maddox is working on writing his name and drawing smileys :)
its a picture of daddy
We went to Gram's and built some legos outside.
And Henny bounced in the sunshine
New shoes?
Mama, make your tongue into a circle like me!
Hopefully they are all on the mend and no one else gets their cold! Mama and Daddy do not need it!
Oh, and here is a cute picture of Millie :)
