Whirlwind

I got lost somewhere in the last few weeks!!  I found myself today, exhausted and lying in bed - forced to rest to let my body catch up with the time that spun by.

I mentioned a while ago that Lily had an appointment time set up for March 18.  We had to reschedule. :(  I will get to that in a bit....

Tuesday, I got my brakes check out, they are ok for now.  I also got the oil changed while I was at Rolling Rubber.  I was trying to get my van ready for my trip to SLC.  At 3 that day, Rebekah had her 12 year old check up.  After talking to her doctor about Lily's ANA test results, the doctor ordered some blood work for Rebekah - just to be safe.  Also, she had some other blood work to be done as well - stuff to check out her cholesterol, etc (she is kinda fluffy).  We ended the appointment with her getting a tetanus and meningitis shot.  Since the lab work required her to be fasting, I got her in bed early enough so I could take her to the lab in the morning.....

Wednesday morning, I wake up to Lily complaining that one of her eyes were goopy and it was hard to open..... Sigh.... Not only did I have to take Rebekah first thing that morning to get her blood drawn, I was going to have to take Lily to Instacare.  But I also had an appointment at Jones Paint and Glass to FINALLY get a windshield for my van - the appointment was at 9:30.  That was not going to happen because Instacare doesn't open until 9.  I called and rescheduled my appointment for 12:30.

The doctor at Instacare told me that Lily has pink eye and the adnovirus.  Plus, since Lily has been coughing for the past 1 1/2 weeks, she gave her some antibiotics for a possible sinus infection as well....  Lily is supposed to stay home the rest of the week. 

I did get the windshield in, so that is good.

Now today, I feel like crap.  I have spent most of today just laying in bed. I am trying to fight off anything I may be getting.  Lily and I have to get well because her new appointment for the Rheumatologist is NEXT Thursday and if we don't feel well, we have to reschedule again..... I understand it is to protect the other patients there, especially any other auto-immune patients, but it is just frustrating.  I keep telling myself that there is a reason behind it all - a higher reason.  I know the Lord knows that we have been waiting so long and so I know there is a reason, and that helps my frustration.
