baby sitting, errands today

I'm babysitting baby Kyla right now. Melissa had to bring Kaylee to the emergancy room. They are not sure what is wrong with her. She has been crying non-stop for almost three days. Now she cries off and on through out everyday. But today was different. Even with the nurse here she just wouldn't stop. It wasn't the "I want to be held 24/7", today it was something is wrong and no one is helping it. Then she started screaming and after so long of non-stop screaming. It was time to do something.. So the nurse and Melissa went to Hasbro and see what the problem is. So far they are not sure what it is.. They are going to do blood work and take x-rays and see, and if nothing comes up with that, then they will keep her over night for observation. Because the poor little thing won't even eat. And when she doesn't eat, it lowers her blood sugar and strikes the Glycogen disease levels in her liver and it can get bad enough that the seizures will start back up and it could kill her. So they have to take all the precautions they can to keep her from that.
Anyway, so I have Kyla and I got to feed her for the first time. Normally that is a mommy job.. LOL Now I see why. I should of taken pictures of that too. It was laughs. She eats half and spits the other half, just for fun! She had it all over her mouth, chin, nose, bib, everywhere. It was soo funny. she had to be washed from the neck up to clean her up when she was finished. Then I took her in and got her ready for bed and laid her on my bed. We get to have slumber parties when Mommy isn't at home LOL.. Kyla gets to sleep with Grammy tonight! And as you can see, Kyla gets ready to fall asleep by pulling up her blankey to her face, I looked at her, she smiles and then pulls it up the rest of the way and fades off to sleep. BUT, if you don't give her the blankey and allow her to do this, she will scream until you do. So what can you do but allow it. After she gets totally out, I sneak up and move it away from her nose and mouth, so I feel comfortable enough to leave her that way... Unlike Mommy, I'm a nervous Nelly when it comes to that.....
Anyway, I did manage to Make Myself get out today and do some errands and pay some bills. So I made about four stops today around town and got everything done that I needed to do. Now I feel better until next month. Not bad huh... It actually feels good to be able to pay bills.. There had been such a long time that we had the church paying our bills for us. WE are so thankful to the church for that. But it still feels great to be able to do it yourself. The even better part will be when Mike gets his parent's inheritance and we can pay off all of our past debts and be completely debt free. Not just our present bills. That will be like having the world lifted off our shoulders. It's sad to have his parent's pass away to be able to do this. We miss them terribly. I would definantly trade debt for them anyday...
But the good news will be once that our debt is cleared and everything is back to where they were before poor Mike got so ill and hospitalized, we will be able to buy our neat little home. And for the price that Mike's sister is selling it to him for. We can be able to put an addition on it and put another master bedroom upstairs with a bath. We are also hopeing to extend the width of the kitchen out a bit and add on a full dining room to boot. But if we only get the bed and bath upstairs, I won't complain.. I'm just grateful that we will be able to do it. We have moved so much in the past six years, that I'm ready to settle down and have a place we can call OURS....
Well, the weather is still really really cold. The virus has finally left the house. But now I'm strickened with heavy chest congestion and cough constantly. Sometimes I cough so much that I feel like i'm coughing up my whole chest cavity. It's insane! But between the Niqual at night and the musinex during the day time. I'm sure it could be alot worse.... BUt I sure can't wait till Spring is here and I can get out side and enjoy the scenary of the beach, that is just down the street and hopefully conquer the fibro. problems and sleep correctly so I can get myself back to church and enjoy the sisters again. That's the hardest downfall with fibro and winters with me. I miss soooo much......
Oh well, I hope with your winters that life is a bit easier for you all. I'll tell ya, I don't wish this on anyone......
