Proud to report that I survived my first Girl Scouts camping trip as a grownup. It’s almost 8pm and I am in bed ready for sleep now 😅
And now #3 got stung by a Yellowjacket and then 2 minutes later Archimedes threw up on the carpet. I’m giving up on today. Mr. CB is picking up McDonald’s for the kiddos and a sandwich from my favorite restaurant for me on the way home.
Fuck me, I just almost got scammed. I’m so mad. They were almost convincing but luckily Mr. CB was able to separately call the sheriff’s office and confirm that it was a scam. I couldn’t call myself because they said they had to keep me on the line. Sneaky. I’m so pissed off at them for wasting my time - I was actually in the car (which I had to wrangle all the kids into!!) on my way to the police department to do a “signature analysis” when Mr. CB actually saw my texts and was able to call. Fuck these awful people.
It’s really not fun. Luckily so far his airway doesn’t close up really; he coughs a lot and can’t stop, which is just so tough.
We have a steroid inhaler that we started using in the spring when his allergies were bad (that prompted our first ER visit), but his allergist said we could wean off it as things calmed down. He was fine all summer until a couple nights ago. We had another dose of an oral steroid that he got today that should take him through the next couple days.
Luckily (?) this was our second time doing this so not as scary as the first time. Hopefully we can stay on top of his symptoms so we can avoid doing this again!
Good! Back at school. We’re on albuterol every 4 hours so I had to stop by school to give him another does but he seemed fine. Just gotta stay on top of the meds so he doesn’t slide back again.
Poor #2. Currently in the ER getting a nebulizer treatment and some steroids for his allergies/asthma. He just couldn’t stop coughing even with all of the medicine we gave him at home so here we are. Luckily the pediatric ER is great so hopefully we’ll be all done in the next hour.
Good! #2 was home sick on Wednesday with like a micro stomach bug. Threw up once in the night but was fine by morning. But I kept him home just to be safe. Now Munchkin seems like she’s getting a cold. #3 has a week and a half until he starts at his new preschool.
