Mother's Day Weekend...

And so my life goes.... Thursday after Tyler's shots he started running 103.5 temperature. I picked him up from Darla's and he was just pitiful. After some Motrin and lovin on he perked up and seemed to be fine. Slept good that night. Friday, David decided to keep him just in case and then I came home at lunch and kept him the rest of the day. He did pretty good, but started this awful cough. Friday we decided to get take-out and stay in for the night. Saturday we woke up and Ty seemed pretty good, but still his cough was getting worse. We went for a walk (probably not the best thing looking back on it) but it was gorgeous and I really wanted to get some exercise. After Ty got up from his nap they gave me my mother's day presents. So very sweet. The card was from "Ty" and was super cute, the flowers were beautiful, and as you can tell from one of the pictures Ty was very excited to see that he bought me Dum Dum pops. (He loves those!)

Afterwards we got ready and went to Candace and Bryan's house for a cook-out for Brandon's graduation. It was so fun and really relaxing. The only bad part was that Ty was literally coughing his head off the entire time. I felt so bad for him but knew it was most likely allergies since he had no other symptoms. So, we left at a decent time and got him in bed.

Sunday, up for church. I taught class and did KFC, so I was pretty exhausted by the end of it. Ty was cranky and still coughing so we opted to head home. I pretty much had a breakdown on the way home because of his coughing and him always being sick, so I called the Dr and they said to bring him in at 1:55. Got there around 1:20 cause he was asleep in the car and didn't want to wake him. Every single person that got there way after us was called back. I was totally annoyed and frustrated. Finally we were the LAST to be called back. They did an oxygen level test, tested his blood and finally decided to give him a dose of steroids and send us home with 3 more doses. Never really said what was going on, but thought that the steroids would calm the cough.

I really understood what Mother's Day was all about. Me holding my baby ALL DAY LONG because he wouldn't go to anyone else. I sent David out to the farm because they were having a cook-out and there was no need for all of us to miss it. So he went out and enjoyed some fishing and fellowship while we staying home and enjoyed watching Cat in the Hat and Alvin switching about every 10 minutes. Annoying, but it made him happy. So whatever.

I wouldn't say it will go down as being the best Mother's Day ever, but that's life and at least I got to be home with my little boy even if he was sick.

Didn't get any pictures of us either but that was probably best because I'm sure I had snot all over my shirt! :)

Monday morning David left for Myrtle Beach where he was meeting with a youth ministry group he gets together with. So, I stayed home with Ty to give him one more day of recovery. It was nice because we slept in and then played most of the day. While he took his nap I got some good cleaning in. It was a productive day, so that was nice. David is on his way home right now, so we'll be glad to have him back! :)

Hate we weren't able to be with our mom's on Mother's Day but hope they know how much we love and appreciate them! They are 2 wonderful people who have had a HUGE impact on who we are today and we both thank them from the bottom of our hearts! I only hope I can be 1/2 a great mom as they were/are!!
