Seven years ago yesterday, my life forever changed. I married the man of my dreams. I remember everything about my wedding day. It was all I could have ever asked for, a beautiful ceremony, followed by the best reception ever (I am a little biased). I mean the reception itself was EIGHT!HOURS! long! All of that was an amazing start to an amazing marriage. I love my memories of that day!
On that day I gained so much more than the wedding and reception I hoped for. I married Michael. What an amazing husband he is to me! I am such a lucky girl! The past seven years have brought us lots of highs and just as many hardships. And I am so happy to have experience dthem all with Michael. There is no one else I would rather spend this life with.
My darling Michael, I love being your wife! My world is so good when I'm with you. I love you and I can't wait to spend many, many more anniversaries with you.
Well this past week has been a crazy one! Beckett had been running a fever for about 5 days and I had been able to control it with Motrin. On Thursday last week, he started breathing really hard through his mouth. I took him in and was told he had an ear infection and indeed he was breathing really hard. On Friday, I took him in to have his O2 levels checked again and they were low but not terrible. He was given 2 more shots for his ears and we were sent home to control the fever. I did okay with that until that evening. So I called and was told to alternate Tylenol and Motrin every 3 hours. That seemed to work until his fever spiked to 104.5 on Saturday. So I called the Advice Line and was told to go to the ER. We did and were told Beck needed to be admitted more for his oxygen level than anything else. So we got to ride in an ambulance to the Children's Hospital and spent the next two days trying to control the O2 levels. All tests came back normal which means it was a virus but no one knows why EVERY!TIME! he gets any sniffle, ear infection, anything, his respiratory system is compromised. We could not keep his levels up enough to go home without oxygen so we got to bring it home. Fun! Fun! We are hoping this will be a temporary visit for the oxygen and maybe get rid of it as soon as Sunday. Anyways, the virus has turned out to be Roseola. It is a simple virus with high fever and a rash at the end. The breathing troubles are totally unrelated to it and something we need to get to the bottom of before flu season. We don't want to spend all fall and winter living in a tiny hospital room tethered to the wall monitors.
