Not For the Faint of Heart

I'm sorry for the gross pictures. Brad insists we share. The past week has been the worst week ever for us and maybe from reading this someone can feel a little bit better about theirs. Here's a little recap: First, Lani was sick all week-

Monday: 2am, Ian is up for the day.
7pm, Neighbor's birthday party-Aaron poops and throws up at the same time

Tuesday: 1:30pm, While eating lunch, Brad nearly chokes on a chunk of roast beef. It becomes lodged in his esophagus.
3pm, We arrive at the doctor's office-30 min later they send us to the ER.
6:45pm, An emergency endoscopy is performed.

Wednesday: 9:20am, Lani's doctor's appointment- we are doing the right things, no idea why she's still throwing up after 6 days-try soy formula.
12pm, pick Aaron up from school-back into the car parked behind me (not in a parking space). No real damage done, but was it an accident or a little rage at the lady illegally parked right behind the car already in reverse so she can run in closer to the school building?

Thursday: 11am, I tried to solve the mold problem in our van by cutting out the carpet, which resulted in a sliced finger.
3pm, Urgent Care finally has time to close the slice with four stitches, two of which are through the fingernail.

Friday and Saturday pass without incident, giving us hope for next week.

Sunday: 5am, Ian wakes up for the day with a fever.
11am, Brad takes his temp twice and I take it once within a 30-min period. 102.6, 102.0, 102.7.
4pm, Fever is gone and Ian is back to bugging everyone as best he can. Looks like everything is back to normal...

Oh Tara, I am so incredibly sorry! What an awful week. Those kinds of days were never fully covered in the "do you want to be a parent?" class. :)

Hang in there!

Oh no! You need a big soak in the tub. At least all this happened after the first of the year so you don't have to start your deductibles all over again. I think you've had your bad week, you should be good for the year.

Geez, that was a really crappy for you guys, but I'm glad you are all okay now! And like Jami said, I think you've had your bad week and you should be good for the year ;)

As Papa and Nana have always said, "Getting old ain't for sissies." I'm sorry that you are aging so fast :>) Really, I hope that things are back to "normal" again.
