Adventures at Brenners

So we are on our third night of our stay at Brenners. Aryah got sick on Wednesday morning and we ended up at the Children's ER at Brenners to be told that we would be staying for at least 48 hours. Her eye was swollen, she had a fever, junky nose, and a really bad case of gassy stomach. That was three days ago. Yesterday they told us that while her cultures were looking fine, they wanted to keep her here for at least five days on antibiotics. I'm not going to lie, I was almost in tears. Zoe had spent her while life in Brenners and I have been have a tough time with this.

I lost my head the other night as Aryah would not stop crying no matter what I did and after three hours I was unpleasant enough to tell my husband what I thought of the whole situation at that moment. Now granted I was running on hardly any sleep for days, and interview in the morning, and the stress of being at Brenners (while I would take my child no where else for treatment, it still haunts me being here). Let's just say I'm glad Aaron loves me and won't be divorcing me over my loss of sanity the other night.

But on a very good note, the interview went really well and the manager had already known that Aryah was in the hospital. So as I went loopy towards the end of the interview, at least she knew why and it wasn't because I'm just weird....well at least that wasn't the only reason. I was offered the position that day and am super stoked about it. It was kinda funny to have Aryah's docs ask me how the job interview went. And they were all so happy for me. It is kinda reminiscent of how I ended up in the feild I am in. I was at Brenners then too when I got the results of my test for CNA I. So I guess it is kinda fitting that when I get the job I've been wanting for a while now that I should be in the place that made me start down this journey anyhow.

Aaron stayed with munchkin last night and she acted perfectly for him......Daddy's girl already. It's very cute and yet somehow unnerving at the same time. I get here tonight for my turn and what happens not ten minutes after he leaves, Aryah starts screaming for and hour. Silly girl. Bad gas problems. I remember all the people telling me how wonderful having a child is, not a one of them mentioned the fact that all newborns do is cry and scream. It is almost enough to pull out all my hair. It doesn't help that she is having the most horrible time trying to breath with her nose congested. But I've gotten her to sleep for the moment so I guess I should try to get some sleep.
