Now for the health reports,lol. Nicholas had is last follow up today and his temperature was back in normal range! To catch some of you up, we had scheduled Nicholas for his 9 month check up on the 8th. That morning he spiked a temp of 103 and the visit turned into a bunch of tests and a chest x-ray. Mind you while this is all going on I am laying at home in bed smack in the middle of my liver detox. Doug was having to do this all on his own and I'm freaking out because as a mother, second hand information is never good enough. Nicholas's chest x-ray came back with a very small detection of pneumonia. So they gave him antibiotics there in the office and was to go back in the next day for follow up. Well unfortunately the temp had only gone down a little so he was prescribed antibiotics for home. So between the meds, lots of rest, and steamy showers with daddy it was all we could do to keep our little man comfortable. Again, let me remind you, Doug was doing most of this, I was pretty much out of commission which was driving me insane. So I decided to stop my treatment early. I know many of you are tsk tsking me, but I couldn't stay in bed any more. I would have been on the treatment till Monday and not have been even feeling like myself till Tuesday. So heres Monday and we are happy to report Nicholas is eating again, playing again, getting into everything again, and his temp is back to normal. He still has the raspy breathing and a lot of snot but thats just part of it.
Brayden is enjoying preschool. He is learning new letters everyday and always doing something with colors and numbers. He leaves home willing to go at 6 am and comes home happy, so that says something. There is this system at the daycare they call the Kiddie Cam and I can be at home see what hes doing in is room or on the playground or even in the lunch room. Well this thing came in handy the other day because I was sitting there watching the camera and this kid, "we'll call him Bob" came up behind Brayden and started slamming Brayden into the table and climbing up on his back and pushing him down. Brayden is very passive, he got him off him but that was it and unfortunately the teacher missed it all. Well mama bear didn't! Doug was picking B up that day so I told him to relay to the teacher what I saw and to have "Bob" removed from that table and to be watched a little more closely. "Bob" no longer sits next to Brayden but the poor kid that does hopefully has a mama bear watching the camera as well. Ahh I love technology! Brayden LOVED Halloween this year! He was a dinosaur seeing as that is his new thing. His 3rd birthday party was themed dinos as well. He was so excited to go door to door and then when people came to our house he'd storm across the room with his Dino tail waggling behind yelling, "I'll get it, Trick or Treat!"
So in closing I am determined to be healthy once more and I know harping on it won't heal me but praying on it will. Doug continues to be the most amazing man I know and I thank the Lord and his family for raising and creating such a strong human being. The Klutzke's are good! My family is together every night, smiling, laughing, and in a sense, as healthy as can be. We are a blessed family and I thank God for the good and the bad because the good is great and fun and the bad makes us stronger and appreciate the good that much more. So I pray for those out there that aren't in the good right now and hope they can see through that bad and find the JOY life has to offer.P.S. Enjoy some pics from the GOOD in our lives!
