oh, come on...

sooooo, tanner has pneumonia - again. ggaaahhh!

poor guy! i took him in yesterday for his pre-op appointment (on tues. he's getting tubes in his ears) and after the dr. listened to his lungs for an unusually long time, she said that his left lung sounds awful. (thank goodness she didn't send us for x-rays - chest x-rays for babies look like some kind of futuristic plastic torture device that make me want to snatch my child and run out the door!!) so he's on antibiotics for the next 5 days and hopefully his lung will clear up enough for his surgery on tues. my kids are driving me crazy with the sicknesses - emma also has strep again and we go next month to see about getting her tonsils out (she's only had strep 5 times this winter...just like her mama used to!!) has anyone else ripped through their $1200 health expense account in 4 months??!?!

anyway, i finished my cna class today and i take my state/national exam on the 20th. should be loads of fun. chemistry starts next week and math after that. should be a pretty mellow summer (or so i'm hoping!!!)Y
