Yup, there's a word to describe the big little things going on with each member of our family. Technically we're all sick, but some more than others. Asa has pnemonia, Kiara has wheezing due to a newly learned asthma condition that hopefully won't return on a regular basis, Mikah is sick as well, but has been going through some crazy behavior issues that has the rest of the family worried, but he's getting better with a whole new system of discipline routines, Scott's stressed and worried about Mikah and the other sickos, and I've got the cold while trying to care for the whole fam, so I'm naturally stressed as well.
There's some light though.....our community has been soooooooooooo helpful during this time. While I had to take Asa to ER, some friends of our generously watched the other two. A day and a half later when we had to take Kiara to ER, other friends watched Asa and Mikah. Asa is doing better, he's back to his ornery self...still puny and grouchy, but he's not sleeping ALL DAY, which is fantastic. Kiara is okay, she had to go back to ER because of another flare up. She's been quite the trooper during this. I'm really hoping that after her cold has passed she won't have too many attacks. Luckily we've been told what to look for, frequencies of meds in emergencies cases, and all that. She's going to have a little backpack for her inhaler and spacer, but she can also put het favorie toys in there too. Call her Kiara The Explorer.
Mikah is also doing better, his cold is lightening up and he's listening better. He's been quite the battle lately, but it'll take some time to get back on track. Still doing great.
So there's that, and to me it all sounds loads easier to handle in written form. Luckily God has granted us an enormous amount of patience and great community to lean on. We'd be in pieces if it weren't so.
