I'm not as cranky as I was yesterday.
I actually got up and out the door with Isaac and ELI by 6:40 to make our 7:00am appointment for the MRI. YEAH!!! But, we didn't get our MRI done....ohhh...
When I filled out the questions, I had to answer that he had coils in his heart, that he had a valve, and other metal in his heart. That lady FREAKED out. (and why wouldn't she...) So, I explained to her that his valve was cadaver skin...so, that's ok, his coils were made of titanium and Stanford gave me the ok for an MRI, and the other metal was just the wires holding his breastbone together. So...he's ok. You should have seen her face...it's SO funny watching these people (not to mention all the nosy people in the waiting room!). Bottom line...they said that their MRI machine was 3x more powerful than the standard...and they want specifics on everything foreign in his little body. So, no problem....we'll just call Stanford (again) and get a nice letter that I'll keep in my files.

But...while we were there...ELI was sick. YES...Eli and I had already decided that he could skip school today and go with us to the appointment. (he was already coughing alot....so, I knew that he would wake up feeling a little yucky). So, while we were waiting to find out if Isaac was going back, Eli had to run to the bathroom 3 times to throw up. Then, he would have to go outside for "fresh air". So....now that Isaac's appointment was canceled, I was able to call the peds and get Isaac in for 11:00am. WHOOO!!! (He's the ped that I love, but that's scared of Isaac). He'll give me antibiotics for Eli and we'll be good! Eli told me that he needs surgery now...Isaac is fine...that he's the sick one now.

So...that left Joe to get Chris off to school this morning. I think he they both made it and they took the trash out to the road! (without me nagging them about it!)

Isaac's coughing a little today...and he's doing alot of back arching. (it must hurt his chest). So, I'm giving him Tylenoyl and I've already called his ped to ask if they're going to give me a prescription for antibiotics. He's on 1 litre of oxygen and getting breathing treatments every 6 hours...THANK GOODNESS I had all of this stuff at the house...or we would be in the hospital.

So..maybe we had a busy morning...but, I see NAPS in our afternoon future...even if they'll have to be drug induced naps!!! (Tylenoyl for everybody!!!)
