WHEW!!

Yesterday was a very eventful day (that is the polite version of what happened yesterday).

1:30am Megan, Ellie and Tyson are all coughing (the nasty croupy cough)
3:17 am Tonya wakes up puking all over
5:30 am Tonya still puking
6:30 am Alarm goes off
7:00 am Coughing and choking as mentioned above
7:30 am drag myself out of bed
8:30 am leave for Primary Children's (and whatever you do- DON'T follow the directions from their website)
10:15 am Checked into Lab (FINALLY! We parked on the wrong side of the hospital, waited in line FOREVER and got to the lab 15 minutes late to wait 45 minutes to get back) The Twins were checked for Cystic Fibrosis. It is a pretty easy test, but time consuming. And we discovered that Tyson is our crier and Ellie is pretty easily distracted. But as we waited, my heart broke a million times. I don't know how Cecilia ever did it. I wanted to take all of the kids in the waiting room and hug them forever. I could have cried for all of them, yet they were the brave ones-almost consoling their parents. I watched their parents faces and don't know how they could do it. I am even more amazed by Cecilia and her strength!!!
12:30 pm Leave Primary Childrens (before we even got the results because of cranky babies, no room for a double stroller or anything)
3:00 pm Calling poison control because Megan found an old container of pills and probably ingested some (do we know for sure-NO, but better safe than sorry). Poison control says to go to the hospital immediately and to not run lights but get there as fast as we can and make sure that I take another person so we can get dropped off at the ER room and not have to wait for someone to check us in. They were going to call and let them know that we were on our way.
3:30ish pm Waiting in Triage for a good 15 minutes before they even get to us (and yes I did tell them why we were there)
4:30 pm FINALLY get taken back to the ER and get in a room. Then there isn't even a test to see if she took the enough of the pills to do damage to her. And it is too late to pump her stomach because what little she did have would have already been ingested. So we get to sit and wait for 4-6 hours before we can take her back home. Has anyone ever tried to contain an active 2 year old to a bed, with a blood pressure cuff, heart monitors and oxygen monitors for 4-6 hours? I wouldn't recommend it. The poor nurse was in there for the first hour just trying to keep things on her. 3 adults and we couldn't make this 2 year old sit there and be calm. Needless to say that her blood pressure NEVER dropped.
8:50 pm released to go home, eat dinner and then couldn't sleep.
11:45 pm checking on Megan and the Twins (for the 10th time) and found Megan asleep minus shorts and diaper.
I am not even sure I got any sleep at all last night... moving on autopilot today. I will decompress later I guess.
