It has been nearly a week since I last posted but last week proved to be a stressful one.
My son decided to be a terror most of last week challenging his teacher and bith of us. Wednesday it took him nearly 3 hours to read a 45 page, level 3.1 book and pass one of our quizzes simply because he refused to actualy read the book. Instead he decided to skim it and say he read it thinking he would get away with it. Yeah, not a chance. The remainder of the week he just refused to behave and continued this throughout the weekend which got him grounded. Hoping this week will be better considering he hated watching his sisters play in the snow while he had to stay in his room.
Thiursday night my Jeep's engine decided to die on our way back from bible study. The kids and I were able to get a ride from the exit to the gas station where our neighbor picked us up but the stress through my body into a massive flare. Thankfully a friend was gracious enough to come pick up the kids for school on Friday and we were able to borrow another friend's spare car saving us on rental fees until the Jeep is fixed. My body crashed hard on Friday so I ended up sleeping nearly all day.
This weekend Josh worked on Saturday and had a rec soccer coaches meeting on Sunday along with other things he did which left mme to soloing the kids most of the weekend. I'm not mad or anything at Josh for having to solo the kids. It just left me with little rest.
All of the above is what probably led me to being severely dehydrated for IVIG despite me drinking fluids as much as possible. I was hoping to get the vein in one stick but should have known better considering how off I have felt this morning. My BP was also raised which the dehydration likely caused so having 2 bags of fluid as bookends to my IVIG is probably a much needed thing. It took 4 sticks and 2 nurses to finally get my IV started which sucked but it wasn't the nurses fault. We managed to find a vein just below my wrist that popped u finally after disaapearing on a previous attempt. At times it feels like my veins like to play hide and seek just to make everyone's day more interesting.
Until tomorrow or at least Wednesday since I probably need to get through the next round of parent/teacher conferences before posting.
