Ivy Tied Up |

Im so exhausted.. Mentally that is.. I’m so far beyond all the craziness. I just want to step out and walk away from myself for a little while and have a breather. I’m just tired of all the non stop constant drama that seems to follow me lately.. Yeah its part of being a mom and a wife and all that jazz and I know i’m far from the only one.. But all that said.. Things havent been going bad so please dont think that.. Things are just well. BUSY!

Wyatt Update:
Wyatt went back to the dr on Wed (the 22nd) and has finally gained a lil weight. He now weighs 9lbs and 6 oz.. 2 weeks ago he was at 1.1% for weight now he is at 1.6%.. While thats extremely low on the charts.. HE IS GROWING so they are happy.. I still believe he is just destined to be a tall lanky kid for now.. He eats like mad.. The upper GI showed he is NORMAL.. So nothing is wrong with him.. He is just skinny.. Sugar was the same way!! She didnt catch up to what is “normal” for her age until she hit 4.. Wyatt thinks its really hard being a baby.. he is rotten to say the least.. But I cant stop kissing on him and loving on him.. I can’t believe he will be 3 months old on friday!!! It makes me sad.. He is my last baby. I want to keep him a baby for a little while.. But.. It doesnt make me want another one!! LOL..
A picture:

and

Notice he either sleeps sideways or like a frog with his knees poking out.. he doesnt pull them up underneath him..In the first picture you can’t tell but he is sideways in his lil chair.. his head is where his bum should be. And he knows he is cute.. Only my sweet lil baby who never cries.. Has given me some massive headaches these last few days.. he has started teething already and has been very fussy for the last few days..

Diva update: I had her back in the drs office sick again.. Nurse sent her home from school AGAIN.. I told the dr he had to fix this! She had a fever again.. They did a cat scan this time of her sinuses.. It showed she has a very deep sinus infection which is why when hse is on antibiotics a few days she feels better and doesnt run fever after about 3 days of no antibiotics she is sick again.. She will be on antibiotics for a month in hopes this clears it up.. She is feeling better.. Still run down and tired but feeling better..

Sugar update:Sugar has discovered Tantrums.. At 4 years old my kiddo has JUST NOW discovered tantrums.. I kid you not. She was never a tantrum thrower. She never gave me a bit of a problem. She was always good and helpful and a momma’s girl.. Sweetest kid i’d ever met. She hit 4 and all hell broke loose! Im trying the walk away method at this point. I do believe this has something to do with Wyatt’s birth.. Because after all. Wyatt was born on the 1st of Sept.. Sugar turned 4 on the 5th of sept.. I really want my sweet lil girl back.. I miss her!

Bug Update: I dont remember if I posted about the dr changing his meds or not.. Its been a rather busy 3 months. They did however change his meds and he is doing alot better! Somedays he is still non stop but thast to be expected he is after all a kid! One of the meds he was on they had to raise up his dosage.. His destructiveness and cycles were getting a big extreme again. He would get so angry and out of control and nothing was helping. They raised it up just .5mg and He did wonderfully but the next day at school he didnt make it the entire day.. It made him so sleepy they called me to go get him! He couldnt stay awake.. After a few days it was okay.. He is currently doing great! As long as he takes his meds he is okay.. IF he misses a dose then he is all over the place.. up down left right.. And so angry and mean. I hate seeing my lil boy like that! I dont know how to help him other than the meds and then he gets mad becuase you cant fix whatever it is. He doesnt understand why he gets like that and his way of letting it out is tearing something up.. Its a rollercoaster I understand fully but wish I didnt and wish he didnt have to go through that.

Dh update: I have alot to write about him. Alot going on.. but I dont have the energy right now nad he is going to get up for work here in about 15 minutes so I’ll have to do that in another post another day.. His spider bite is looking much better. He is back at work.. So muchmore going on than just that though.. I’ll update on him later..

Kansas Sunflower posted about this on her blog Bipolar and Me.. I found it interesting even though I had seen it before and decided to give it another go with an updated photo that was taken in the last 2 weeks.. This is the exact same matches it gave me last time I tried it out which I THINK was last year sometime when it was posted about on Amazingly Woman.. Give it a check out!

I thought no one liked me anymore.. I havent logged comments in 2weeks!! However its not that i’m not liked.. Oh people have tried.. There are several error pages worth of tries that I havent had time to check until tonight.. My blog isnt logging comments for some reason right now.. Im working on it now.. Lets hope this works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you all havent forgotten about me!

Who knew a little bitty spider could bring so much chaos?????????????

Dh was bitten by a brown recluse spider over a week ago.. It was on Sunday the 5th.. We noticed it first on his arm.. Then his leg.. We thought at first it was a mosquito bite.. but nope! It got worse and his leg kept hurting him more and more.. Wed he couldnt take the pain anymore and went to the dr.. Dr wouldnt touch it.. Said it was infected and gave him Duricef and sent him on his way. Wed night he was in so much pain he was shaking and sick.. So Thursday required a trip to a DIFFERENT dr.. One who would really do something.. This dr said the last dr didnt prescribe strong enough antibiotics.. Put him on pain meds, Septra and another antibiotic.. On Friday morning dh started running fever and a lil part of the sore busted and started draining.. (EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW) So we dealt with that.. Then Sunday morning he has a rash.. Okay benedryl took care of it.. Sunday night he breaks out in a totally different rash.. No amount of benedryl was making it go away.. He started swelling.. HIs eyes almost swelled shut, his hands were swelling, his fingers were t urning colors and he couldnt breathe…At 3 am we made a trip to the Emergency Room..

They said it was an allergic reaction to one of the medications he was on.. They popped him full of steriods and benedryl and sent him home.. We got home at 7am monday morning.. Monday evening he broke back out and went crazy.. Scared the crap otu of me.. Off and on the entire past week he had been out of it.. Not making sense.. Saying off hte wall things and acting weird.. Falling down and stuff.. Then monday evening he went what i’d call psycho.. Got him calmed down.. more benedryl in him.. he slept.. yesterday he broke out again.. Today another trip to the dr.. I dont have any news on it yet because I had to take Diva to the dr..

The past week has been interesting to say the least.. his arm is healing nicely.. his leg.. the hospital says does not require surgery and it will just take a long time to heal. Its a slow process.. Its still causing pain.. but it is getting better.. Its insane to think one lil spider caused this much crap! And not to mention over 600$ in drs bills and medications now.. That doesnt include the hospital bills we will get in say 2 weeks!!!

He has been out of work a week now.. All this for one stupid lil spider.. And Dh picked on me at one time about my fear of spiders.. Now he sees i had ever reason to hate spiders and still do..

This process is no where near over.. The lucky part is that he doesnt need surgery.. I ask though whats next???????????????

To come write. But I’ve always had alot to say and typing a lot with baby in tow is very difficult.. So i’ve never gotten a complete thought down here..
Lets see.. The last month has been insane!

1st.. We’ve lost power 3 times due to storms.. 1 we were with out power for awhile.. over night.. from about 2pm one day till 5am the next.. That was rather difficult with the baby.. the other 2 times ti wasnt long before it was back on..

2nd.. We lost water 2 times.. Once due to power being out.. and once because the pump on the well broke.. (we actually lost it each time the power went out but 2 of the times the power was out just for a little while..

3rd.. Diva has been sick.. She continues to get sick then well again then sick again. The drs thought hse had mono but we found out Tuesday evening she doesnt have mono just continues to get strep throat over and over again. If the pattern continues its off to an ENT dr..

Then on wed (nov 1st) my sons school LOST him.. yes they LOST him..
They switched the bus routes with out telling Us… The school was suppose to notify the parents.. we were not notified!). so they didnt put him on the bus.. I was waiting at the bus stop for an hour. I called the bus barn got no answer .. called Bug’s School and they flat out told me they didnt know where he was!!!!!! Turns out dh’s aunt had him.. She drives a bus and had gotten him when she saw him standing otu with another lady…. they were suppose to call me and tell me but didnt! when i called them they told me they didnt know where he was… school let out at 1pm.. i got him at 2:45!! I was flipping out!!!! Then the school tried to convince bug that I just forgot it was early release and must have forgotten him….which is BULLSHIT! I was at hte bus stop waiting

The office told me that they had informed his teacher of the change. it was HER responsibility to take care of it..
I sent her a note about this because I couldnt go up there due to wyatt having a drs appt..
She sent me a note back stating this:

I take full responsibility for Bug getting ont he wrong bus yesterday. I have made all the necessary changes at school to make sure he gets on the right bus.

I apologize tremendously for any inconvenience to you yesterday.

If there are anymore changes, please let me know.
A Smith

I’m all for her taking responsibility for this.. BUT does she really believe it was just an inconvenience? I have written the principal since she is SOOOOOOOOO extremely busy I can’t get her on the phone.. This was NOT an inconvenience.. they lost my child.. That is so far n owhere near an inconvenience.. ANY parent I think would agree with me.. This is NOT an inconvenience.. That was scary! And highly emmotional.. I didnt know where he was.. THEY Didnt know where he was! I’m still upset and livid about this and its been a few days! Heads need to roll!

Further news..
Wyatt isnt gaining weight like they want him to be.. he was 6lbs 11oz at birth and now at 2 months old only weighs 8lbs 4 oz which is what bug and diva weighed when they were born.. They are sending Wy for an Upper GI on monday.. as soon as we get the results of that they will decide what our next step is.. He might have a touch of reflux..
They gave him shots on thursday and he has ran fever with them and been EXTREMELY FUSSY!!! MEAN MEAN PEOPLE!!!
