Last night I got the privilege of seeing several minutes of every hour from the hours of 12-5am. Why you ask? Well Andren had a hard night, he is not feeling well and was up most of the night coughing, and having trouble breathing. Here is how our night went.
8:40ish- I put him in bed, he was awake and coughing for a bit and then started crying so I got him out and rocked him until he fell asleep, which was around 9:45.
9:45 - put him in bed thinking that he would now sleep. Boy was I wrong.
Quarter to 11- I was thinking it would be a good time to go to bed, and who should wake up screaming and coughing? Yep you guessed it Andren. So this time I gave him some medicine and rocked him back to sleep.
11:30 -he is back asleep. So I put him in his bed and a short time later he woke up screaming and crying again.
Close to midnight- I am getting tired and want to go to bed so I pulled him in bed with me hoping he would sleep and of course he did but he is very wiggly. The coughing subsided and I finally fell asleep. Only to wake up on and off because he was holding his breath or rolling over and hitting me in the head.
12 something- Andren rolls over and head butts me (great now I am tired and my head hurts)
1 something Andren starts a little bit of coughing, get him resituated and fall asleep
2:30 I had had enough of him trying to push me out of bed and not being able to sleep. So I thought I would put him in his own bed since he did not seem to be coughing.
2:30-3:38 Andren was up coughing for over an hour give or take a few seconds or minutes (really).
3:40 Bring him back to my bed. Continues coughing, and coughing, and coughing.
4:30 Still coughing I decide to do a breathing treatment because by this point, he has just thrown up all over my bed from coughing so hard and he is really struggling to breath.
4:45 ish- finished breathing treatment and got him to lay back down. Still coughing and holding his breath, but I can tell he is starting to calm down and is starting to breath a little easier.
5 something- I was afraid to look at the clock but I knew it was after 5. He finally falls asleep. YEAH and I finally sleep
7:20- Still sleeping. The girls come in and wake me up. For some reason they want to eat breakfast, even though they ate dinner last night LOL. So I reluctantly get out of bed and it hits me as to how tired I really am.
7:30-8:10- Get girls ready for school and out the door.
8:10-8:40 - Wake Dale up to get him ready(kierra has a field trip and he is going to help). In this time Kendon and Andren wake up (there goes any hope of going back to sleep). Get them fed and dressed.
8:45-9:10- Dale is on his way to the school, but Kendon really wanted to go to (we were all going to go before Andren decided to get sick). So I find someone who is taking their son as well and driving down to meet the bus. Kendon gets to go after all.
9:10-9:40- Kendon is gone, Andren is coughing a ton again, and I am waiting for the Dr to call back to see if I can get him in today.
And that leads us to right now. While I am waiting for the Dr to call I am going to go work on a quilt I have to get done. Along with some Halloween invitations for the kids' party next week. And the list goes on so I will leave it at that.
No way!! You have a blog. That is awesome.
