Very Weird Day

Well... today has been very... weird to say the least. Yesterday the doctor gave me an antibiotic, a stronger one since I was just there a few months ago with an ear ache/infection. I've taken this before, but apparently something went wrong today. I'm assuming it's the medication, but really I just don't know. I took the initial dose last night and was fine, but then when I took it this morning about an hour and a half later I was doubled over in pain. Sharp pain in my stomach. I was speechless and out of breath the pain was so bad. I seriously was VERY close to calling 911 at a certain point. Since I could barely talk, Josiah actually talked to Daddy (after I dialed the number) and I just whispered, "tell Daddy to come home"... He said, "Dad? ... Dad? You need to come home. Mommy needs you, she's hurtin' " ... he's so sweet. I felt bad but when I tried to take the phone and talk to Michael myself another wave of pain came over and I could barely breathe, so I just hung up. Thank GOD Lydia was just in time for her nap so she went to sleep and I put a movie on for Josiah. I did my best to stay a little bit away from him, I didn't want him to be worried or scared. They both had a doctor's appointment in the afternoon and I had no idea how I was going to get them there. Thank God for Grandma, who left work to come and help. I did my best to stay still, but every time I moved and off and on in waves even when I was still, the pain in my stomach would hit, and it was I'd say, a 8 or 9 out of 10 on the pain scale... and that's coming from someone who's delivered a baby with no pain medication- lol, trust me it was bad! So needless to say I'm no longer taking that antibiotic, in case that's what it was, and the doctor is supposed to be calling me back tomorrow. Hopefully we'll get things sorted out... a big THANK YOU to Grandma for all her help today, she's amazing. She also came over later and helped us get so much more packed up... basically we couldn't survive this move without my Mom's help, especially with us all sick right now, I'm getting nothing accomplished. She keeps everything in order for us! Thanks Mom!

Josiah and Lydia both have yukky junky coughs but the doctor said he thinks it's just a viral cold so to let it run it's course for a few days and come back if anything gets worse. I'm glad to have them checked out though for peace of mind, you never know when it's an ear infection or something else that might need treatment. They were especially worried about Lydia's cough (which they heard over the phone) since she's so young still. But, so far, ...everything is okay.

Well, I'm off to get ready for bed. Please say a prayer the Walk family starts feeling better soon!

...Now I have to go wake up my husband, who is face down asleep on the desk next to the keyboard. *sigh* ha ha ha... goodnight!
