What a Mother's Day ... (warning Long, sorry;) Update

[geistans]

Okies I am going to start that I should have just stayed in bed all freaking day long ..... just there was a Sammie in my bed to start this day off .....

The morning ran smoothly.... well not real smooth but Addie whining is normal everyday, I think some days she thinks "How can I bug my mom today?" and plans her day around it. And Tashie wouldn't wake up for anything, which is not normal at all. Tashie is usually the first one up and wanting to watch Sponge Bob. Okies so got the kids up and gave them cold cereal for breakfast because we were rushing to get everyone ready for church.

Sammie didn't want to go into her car seat and the phone rang so I ran back inside to answer it, It was work and they needed me to come to work. Oh great I thought why in the world did I freaking answer the phone. I told them I was able to go to church and you know what the manager said "Just come right after it will be ok. See you in an hour." Well the church I attend is not an hour long it is 3 hours long. So I go back inside change into my work clothes, and all the kids start to cry (I think they are starting to hate the red shirt because they know what it mean mom has to go to work.)

So I sit threw one hour of church, trying to calm two crying kids and my husband is telling me not to go to work ... I thought to myself "sure hunny and then we don't have money to pay bills, and what plant did you wake up on?" I must have been giving him a look, because my dad started to laugh at him; I calm all the kids down and get them into their Sunday school class, and drive to work.

I was driving to work in my father's truck, when all the sudden the pretty red and blue lights start to flash behind. I pull over, I looked at the glove box and prayed that it wouldn't be a mess when I opened it up. The cop came up to the window and I roll it down (by hand) and I looked at the cop with tears starting to form in my eyes, and he just looked at me "Like shoot, please don't cry I can't handle when they cry". And he stated "well I just want to remind you to use your turn signal when turning, and have a happy mother's day." By that time I was crying so hard because I know he should have given me a ticket, but I was also greatful that he didn't give me one. Mixed emotions. I get to work and 15 mins later the girl that called in for the day, shows up to work. I was so mad and upset but that meant I got to go home.

I get home to a quiet and calm and very peaceful house and think okies this is going to be an ok day, not a good start .... I should have be able to freeze the clock and have some peaceful time to myself. Nope I don't have that power, 30 mins later the door flys open and my sweet wonderful girls who are wearing new dresses are covered in dirt! They planted seeds in cups to give to me for a present, oh what a great idea someone had. Get kids in Sunday Best Clothes dirt, seeds and water! So I get them undress soak their dresses, and made lunch .... Eggs Bacon and Toast. They didn't eat it, like normal.

Time passes it is going better, I am watching TV and Sammie comes over and sits on the couch by me. She just sits there, being really a good little girl. And then I look at her, Sammie has started to have a seizure, and it is nothing like the starring seizure that she has. This was totally different in every way, it scared the shit right out of. She started to twitch her arms and head; and then the worse thing in the world her eyes rolled back. Lasted about 45 second it felt like forever. And then she looked around all dazed for a few seconds. It happened again and I told my hubby look at Sammie, he was sitting on the floor with our son Zeb. And we saw Sammie have another 45 seconds of twitching of arms and head and the eyes rolled back. Then Sammie looked around confused and rub her eyes, and sat there real quiet. My hubby is calling the doctor to see what we need to do, and they gave us a number to call at the children's hospital. So while he is on the phone calling, I noticed that her cheeks are red, so I take her temp it is 100.1, and Sammie goes to sleep and takes a nap. I am freaking out inside trying to think what in the heck do we do.  The doctor told us we should not worry unless Sammie is having 3-4 of these seizures in a day. I look at my hubby when he said this like what in the world.

I called back the doctor office to get an appointment for Sammie to be seen tomorrow to see her normal doctor and the darn nurses put me on hold, for over 10 mins. I mean come on, My daughter has WPW and starring seizures.... she needs to be seen by her normal doctor. And so they come back on the line and told me "there are no appointments and if I think she is in a seizure then I should call 911 and she probably not in a seizure you don't have a medical degree, so don't throw around those statements." What I was so pissed, I just looked at the phone, my hubby calls them back and you know what he talks to a different nurse gets Sammie an appointment for tomorrow.

WHAT A FREAKING DAY I HAD, I should had stay in BED! The next time I feel this way I am not getting out of bed! Sorry this was long.

Count your blessings where you can find them, because everyday is full of it own anxieties.  Good that you put God first and went to church. Kiss your husband for loving you. And who said you need a medical degree to know what you know. Sometimes listen to that little voice that say "don't answer the phone". Matthew 6:33 "Keep on, then, seeking first the kingdom and his righteousness, and all these [other] things will be added to YOU. 34 So, never be anxious about the next day, for the next day will have its own anxieties. Sufficient for each day is its own badness.

Here is an update on Sammie, Last night we had rushed her to Primary's Children around 2:30 am. And I came home to take Addie and Tashie to school. And go to work, while warren stayed with Sammie and Zebbie. During the EEG test Sammie went into SVT, so warren call me at work to go be with Sammie. The doctors gave her a shot of Adenosine to try to bring her out of it, and it finally worked. They didn't have to shock her heart, Thank God. Sammie is in a normal heart beat, and she is doing good. The test for the EEG showed Abnormal test results. And we will be talking to Dr. Lloyd. About the result. The ped. Dr. Alvey came up to see sammie and told me that she is doing better and will be able to come home tonight as long as she doesn't have a seizure or going into SVT. Because the hospital is stressful for Sammie he doesn't want her to stay her too long. So Warren is home and taking care of the other kids and I am at the hositpal. I am thinking if we get to leave at all it will either be late
around pm or in the early morning at 800 am. Please keep sammie in your prayers!
