Storm is sooo sick and I am soooo tired! (vent)

[Guest guest]

Hey guys! I am so bad at keeping up on this list, but with 6 kids now

(and two of those under the age of 3) well, I'm a little busy.

Anyhow, just wanted to share about Storm. He has been incredibly sick

for a week or so now. Doctor's at the ER Thursday said he has

Bronchitis and it is causing his asthma to act up and causing asthma

attacks! He had 4 in 3 days time. He hasn't had any more since

Friday. (He started on oral steroids Thursday) But, he is still

coughing his head off, even with breathing treatments every 4 hours

while awake! and my two foster babies are also coughing and

congested, but even the babies are doing better than Storm! I am at

my wits end, he will have to miss school again tomorrow (he missed

Friday).

I am just at one of those points where I am so sick of all this. All

the meds my kid has to take, and all the pain he has to put up with!

It just really sucks!!!! I know you all understand how I feel and I

am so glad I can just come on here and say how sick I am of it. I am

so tired of having to try to explain to my child that it will be okay

and answering questions about why God make him this way and why he

has to go through all of this and be sick all the time and take so

many meds, and how it is not fair! He's right, it's not fair and it

sucks! He is so sad right now and he is hating his life! How can I

help him when I hate it too!?

Sorry guys, I guess I am pretty emotional right now. I am so tired.

Not just sleepy, but tired. Tired of all this junk! I know I'll be

okay again in a day or two. I just need the occasional melt down. And

this one is it! Thanks for listing!
