Rough day

When being sick and a mother doesn’t always work out..

Or even better..

When your child is sick when you are sick..

Plus, having a special needs trached and g tube child that requires more attention and care than your typical child.

Yeah, it’s hard. But i push through and get what needs to be done, besides the huge load of laundry that’s in the dryer that needs to be folded and put away, and the dishes in the dishwasher that need put away and the dirty dishes in the sink that needs to be put in the dishwasher, and the floors that need to be vacuumed, and the lists goes on. But my child is alive, and I’m alive, barely, but I’m alive.

It’s just another day to get through. And ill get through it, but i still have 3 hours until the nurse gets here and then its nap time for this sick momma.

Just by typing what i have so far, I’ve had to stop and go suction my child 4 times. It’s exhausting. All i want to do is take another long hot shower, or better yet, a long hot bath, and go to bed early tonight. But my duties as a mom haven’t stopped just because I don’t feel good.

Now Kassie is trying to get me to go eat some rice and onion soup once tyler gets home in an hour or so. But i feel like death, butttt onion soup sounds so amazing and it would to my sore throat too.

Luckily I’m not “sick sick”. Just stupid weather changes in good ole Arkansas and my body went into shock. Still doesn’t make the situation better.

Plus, on top of all of this, Ryker was supposed to have his second cranial surgery next week, but because the viral panel came back as rhino (common cold), they’ll probably postpone and reschedule it for later on. Well, if that’s the case, then we’ll be holding off until spring because i cant guarantee this child wont get a freaking common cold all throughout the cold and flu season. He gets so many. But thankfully he doesn’t have to be hospitalized anymore (so far for the last 1.5 years) for them. We honestly didn’t even think it was a cold because the symptoms aren’t anywhere like they usually are. But of course, Ryker likes to through curve balls and change things up.

That’s about it for this lovely Saturday that I’ve got going on so far.

By the way, we’re up to 6 suctionings so far this whole time. (Insert eye rolling emoji)
