It has been a tough weekend and start to the week here at the Rohfam.
Emily had been complaining all last week with ear pain that turned out to be a non ear infection that turned into a cough that turned into an ear infection that turned into vomiting that turned into a trip to the Hospital that turned into a couple nights of forcing medication from the top and bottom and breathing treatments and drinking with a syringe that turned into a baby feeling better today.
Here is Emily the Elf after her 3 hour nap today.

In other news Julie has bronchitis but her ear infection is cleared up. She is on antibiotics should be o the mend soon. Elizabeth has some sort of lung thing going on, probably from Mom or Emily. Alex is indestructible and I am still not sleeping.
I visited the Ear Nose and Throat doctor today and have a list of problems to work on. At one point as she was forcing a camera down my nose to look at the back of my mouth I felt like a little kid that just wanted my Mommy. It was a strange sensation and I figured I finally reached my “bottom” as the doctor explained that my tonsils seal off my airway, I have a deviated septum, enlarged nasal turbinates, allergies, signs of acid reflux, and need to lose weight.
I felt a little overwhelmed at that moment and with tears in my eyes I told her I have been trying.
I feel so violated in all of this. From the sleep study to mask fittings to doctor visits to dental visits to more doctor visits to Nasonex prescriptions to Lunestra prescriptions to ENT referrals to allergy testing to Gastroenterologist referrals to Asterpro prescriptions to Prilosec prescriptions to EpiPens, to tonsil surgery to who knows what is to come.
So at this point my life is definitely out of my control and aside from the moment of despair this morning with my new doctor, I have been rolling with the punches.
As long as they don’t come any faster or harder, I should be able to make it through all the remaining rounds.
I won’t win by knockout, but I will win by decision.
