ugh, colds

So I did have plans to go away for the weekend and show the dogs...but the kids cold descended onto me and my asthma flared up again..seems it wasn't to be and I don't think camping in freezing cold temps while trying to contain three kids would have been wise.

Thursday night when I was supposed to leave I felt so awful and crawled into bed with my book as soon as hubby got home.  My gorgeous DH made me up a warm chicken Caesar salad and brought it up to my room to surprise me...nawwww  It was so goooooood!

Friday night after putting Miss 3 to bed and she finally went to sleep..after a bit of a battle! lol  I lay down to read again.  Teig (6) crawled into bed next to me for cuddles and went to sleep (DH was working late) love that.

My breathing was getting worse and worse despite taking all my provided meds.  I got to the stage where I was gasping to get air into my lungs so rang DH and told him I was going to the hospital. Went next door to get a neighbour to watch kids.  Yes I drove.  No I shouldn't have, but I would have to be half dead to call an ambulance...

 

Got into the ER and they admitted me straight away and put me on the mask...omg, within 20 mins I could start to relax again!!  Definitely the right thing to do. They gave me the steriod pills again too and i have to be on them for 5 days again to settle it all down.  I do see my Respiratory specialist again in Tuesday.

So I was there until about 11.30pm and they did want to keep me for obs overnight.  Andrew had to work today and I felt ok so I went home.

I cant believe how annoying the asthma is this time!!  I know it only popped up so bad again because of my colds, so hopefully it settles fast.

Other then that, lots of small baby bumps happening now!
