Spinning!

The last few days have been a bit of a whirlwind - my head is spinning! I went back to work on Monday. Even though I was pretty organized on Sunday night, I still felt like I was running around like a crazy person on Monday morning! The girls and I left the house at 6:45 ~ Jaxon stayed at home with my mom.

My first day back at work was a great one! I was excited to see my students, and they were so wonderful the whole day!

(How can you not love that smile?!)

By Monday afternoon I didn't feel great, and by Monday night I realized the UTI that I had been dealing with for over a week (I had just finished the antibiotic for it on Sunday morning) had not gone away. I headed back to Acute Care, found out the infection was worse than it was before I started the antibiotic, was prescribed another antibiotic for 14 days and headed home.


I woke up at about 5:00 on Tuesday morning and I was super dizzy and quite nauseous. I had to sit on the end of the bed for a while before I could get up. I thought I would be okay to go to work, so I got ready and fed Jax. The dizziness got worse, and Justin called the after-hours nurse thinking I was having a reaction to the medication that I had started the night before. She was concerned the infection had moved to my blood, so after dropping the girls off at daycare, we went to the ER.

The good news is that the infection wasn't in my blood or kidneys, but the infection was still bad. I was given an IV, and after a couple of hours we went home. Then my OB doctor's nurse contacted me, and said that they felt I needed to get a shot too, so I ended up getting a shot on Tuesday afternoon.

I am feeling much better now. I have to go back to the doctor in two weeks, unless I think it's getting worse again.

So ... I made it through one day of work before having to call in sick! Ugh. The three days that I have been back at work have been good ones! I have a great group of students!



And now for a little randomness, since nothing seems to be organized these days! :) Ha!

How is it even possible that Jaxon is old enough/strong enough to sit in the bumbo!



I'm pretty sure this girl is going to be a teacher ...







This little cutie keeps us on our toes!


I think she's going to be a great basketball player - she loves to shoot the ball!

 

In case I don't get any other posts done before the weekend, Happy Holidays to all of you!

You poor thing! I hope you're feeling better now! Jax is looking so much like his sisters. I can't believe it. So sweet. He's growing so fast!
