My poor baby has had a fever since Thursday. It was 100.1 then so we took him to the ER. And last night we took his temp again, and it was back up to 100.2. So this morning I called the Dr and into his office we went. Other than the fever Jacob has been just fine. Still laughing, eating, having wet diapers. Nothing other than a bit of a stuff nose and the fever. So after seeing the Dr he wants to rule out anything else. So off to the hospital we go to have a CBC and urine draw. Poor little guy got stuck three times! And man did he scream. He was heard in the lobby. I am so thankful that my mom was there to help the nurses hold him. I stayed in the room and tried my best to hold back the tears. It was hard. I hate hearing the "mommy, they are HURTING me!" screams. But on the plus side, the tests all came back normal, so its just a viral infection. We just need to hope that the fever is gone by next week, if not then we have to go back in.
So about an hour after the Drs offices calls and tells me the good news they call back. They have some formula for me. I am thinking, cool, a few cans of formula, that will help. Nope! Six CASES of Similac ready to feed 2oz bottles! Sweet deal.
Jesse is also getting sick, its in his throat and chest. Now I have to work hard at not getting it.
Slept on the floor last night in Jacob's room. He didn't want to go to sleep and I was letting Jesse sleep in the bed since I am not really working now.
I sorta quit my job. I am now just on call and I am not as stressed anymore. Granted this does not solve our money problems nor does it help, but I am a much happier mommy. So we are having a garge sale this weekend in hopes to sell some things and make some good money. And Jesse will be getting a raise hopefully in the next month. He also still manages to pick up side jobs. Every little bit helps.
We have an application in for Habitat for Humanity housing. I hope that this works out for us. It would be a huge help.
So thats what we have been up to.
