Last week was quite a stressful week for me. Some of you that know me well or read my blog between the lines know that my husband had a Staff Infection and was hospitalized for three nights. Well, just last week, my daughter contracted it somehow and I have been a basket case worrying about her getting worse or someone else in the house catching it.
I wasn’t sleeping at night and every other night I had to take something to help my nerves so that I could get a good night’s sleep. I was supposed to meet with Simon Malls last week for Moms Night Out on May 6th and wasn’t able to do that until today. They seem pretty open to whatever way I want to contribute I just need to figure that out. Crazy!
Anyways, I took Zoe to the Doctor on Wednesday and we can never get in to see her regular doctor. The doctor I did see didn’t seem to think anything of the fact that Zoe had a staff infection. We just don’t understand why sometimes it’s like, no big deal and then when you’re in the hospital they quarantine you away from everyone. I had to take her back for a recheck on Friday to make sure the medicine is working. it’s working but I can’t wait until she is completely better because we have a bit of grumpiness with her and mommy while she is complaining.
Zoe seems to be doing better but we had a lot of messes to clean up last week. My house is a disaster and when I had a conference call with KitchenAid the social media rep could tell that I sounded exhausted and I was terribly embarrassed. Since I’ve been so tired when I finally did make it to a MOMS Club event I picked up a cold. Now my head is spinning, and all I can think about is the schedule of posts I have to write up and my confusion as to where they all came from. I wanted a light month this month and all I have is a huge mess of posts to get through this week. Maybe I should just keep pushing them off and post them all on Saturday. That would be mean to the Sponsors huh?
You know who reads my blog, PR reps. Some of my most loyal readers are my PR peeps that give me all of these wonderful opportunities to write about. Thanks, but thanks to everyone who reads my rambling psycho babble too. I need a nap I am so tired and my head is really spinning and I feel like I’m underwater. The kids are going to get up from their naps soon. What just happened to that last hour. How in the world did it take me an hour to write this post. Grrr!.

Thank You Angi,
I really appreciate you coming and reading and leaving me comments. You are like the top commenter on Mom Start.
Zoe got it too! Poor baby! And a mom with a cool and no sick days to spare! [HUG] I hope you all get better. When I saw you at Target I was thinking I hadn’t seen you all in awhile and miss hanging out. I’m sending well wishes of health and we’ll get together again soon!
I sure hope your worries are over…you sound like a Mom in need of a few days off…and some pampering. I hear you…I have lived many of the days you speak of. I have had many nights of lost sleep, even with med help. Doesnt work when you are worried about your family. Heck, moms would need an elephant dose to do that!
As far as the staph…my son had some funky weepy rash thing on his leg the beginning of school last year. My husband took him in because he was supposed to be leaving for a school camp outing a couple days later. He went for camp with the Rx ointment they gave us. At least 3 months later we went back to the doc with one of the other kids and the doc was looking at my kids charts online. i happened to look over his shoulder at my son’s info and read STAPH positive. I was SO mad! They had taken a swab of his leg and NEVER called to tell us he was positive. Doc just says, “Well, it got better, didn’t it?”.
I am immune compromised with chronic illness and DOWN for over 9 years, and we have 2 other kids still at home and LOTS of neighbor kids in and out. I could not BELIEVE how nonchalant he was when we have heard that this can be pretty serious in some people. SO many people around us could have gotten this, because we were not even trying to be ultra careful! Seems to me the nurses are more on target and helpful around here than most of the docs. It is blatant they are told to let a lot of things go by insurance companies…at least in our experience. We have learned to push and use our intuition MUCH more than i used to. Your health is worth more than anything else on earth. Sad you have to FIGHT for it!
Hope everything clears for you soon!
