I am back!!!

Hello Everyone.

Well I am back from Vegas and I am so tired! The convention was great! There was a lot of great information and I learned so much about running my business, taxes, advertising, and how to gain more customers. I also had a blast! I could not believe all the things you can do in Las Vegas! It was crazy. Every night we went out as a group and did something new and the result was not getting to bed until about 3am every morning then getting up at 6am to attend classes! So no wonder I am so tired, but I had a great time. The kids were great for grandma and everything went smooth. My husband went with me and he did get alittle bored when I was in class, but when I was released we were able to do something really fun. I even had the opportunity to meet a pirate who is actually in the pirate show at treasure island and he hung out with our group for awhile. I can't wait till next years convention! The trip home was not so great. We flew to Salt Lake City without incident, but when we arrived we had a three and a half hour drive to get home. We started our trek thinking we were ahead of the storm and we were so ready to get home and see our babies. It started snowing about an hour into our journey and became really bad to where we couldn't see ten feet ahead of the truck. We were an hour from home and had to stop and stay the night where we were. Luckily we were stranded in my husbands home town and we were able to stay at his Mom's house. When we woke up there was so much snow that we had to wait nearly all day for the roads to be cleared before we could leave. It was torture! We arrived home and we were so happy to see the kids and they were so excited to see us. I will never forget those little giggles and the feel of soft little squeezes of love that we received when we walked through the door. When we were gone my kids came down with small little colds which was not big deal, we did not think so anyway. My three year old has asthma, so we were a little concerned, but she seemed fine until Saturday. She started coughing more and more and finally I took her in. They had thought she had bronchitis and sent us home with instructions for breathing treatments and all that. She did not improve. We toughed things out on Sunday and I took her in again yesterday. They tested her for RSV which she tested positive for. They did chest x-rays and found a small amount of fluid in her lungs which may indicate developing pneumonia. I have to take her in everyday to make sure it doesn't progress. I feel so bad for her. She hasn't been sleeping very well because she is coughing so much so she looks so pale and tired during the day with dark circles under her eyes. I pray she gets better and doesn't get pneumonia. My poor baby! My six year old son has an ear infection, but he is doing better than he was. The baby seems to be fine but I need to keep a close eye on her and I have to take her in everyday too so they can check her. RSV can be bad for children under two and cause lasting effects like asthma which is the exact reason my three year old Dakoda has asthma now. I was hoping Dakoda's tonsillectomy would help her stay healthy, but it doesn't protect her from RSV. I hope everyone is doing well and thanks for all of your comments on all my posts. I thought this blog was going to be a pain, but it helps to relieve my stress and gives me an out so to speak to talk about my life and puts things in perspective. Goodnight! Hopefully everyone gets a good full nights sleep!!

  1. Hello Stacy:

    I am so glad that you had fun while you were in Vegas. I am sorry to hear that your children are not doing well though, and I do hope that they feel better soon. I know it's not easy for you to see your children sick and there's nothing that you can do to make them feel better, but knowing that you are home with them and not out of town makes it a lot easier on you and them.

    Try to get some sleep and I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
