Exhaustion!

So the last 24 hours have really run me down. Last night around 8:00pm I get a call from Jonathan informing that he was taking himself to the ER. If you know Jonathan you know that something really has to be wrong in order for him to do this. He had been saying for a few days that his arm and back hurt and now he was complaining of not being able to catch his breath or take a deep breath. When Jonathan had his wreck back in 2005 and collapsed both of his lung, we were informed then that he could sneeze wrong and it could collapse them again. He said he was in so much back that he was afraid that might have happened. After a 5hour ER visit he was diagnosed with inflammation of the lining of the lung and it also showed some fluid build up. Thank goodness it wasn't collapsed because I really didn't feel like driving to Ohio with Landon at 10:00pm. They sent him home or shall I say his home away from home with a Z-pack, inflammatory meds, and Vicodin! Who in there right mind gives a trucker Vicodin! He is feeling so better today, but still in some pain. Hopefully he will get some rest this weekend on the road somewhere. On to Landon......He had his monthly pulmo appt today and unless we need them again for anything, it was our last!!!! They said that Landon looked AWESOME!!!! and to keep up the good work. His weight today was 19lbs 9oz and was up from 19lbs 4oz from last Friday. Dr. Austin did change his albuterol and pulmicort nebulizers to inhalers now, which makes life so much easier. Now instead of having Landon sit with a mask that he hates for 15mins, we do 2 puffs and done. After our apt that lasted 3 hrs in which 2 1/2 hrs of those were us waiting. By the time Odessa and Dr. Austin came in to see Landon he was beyond ill. Afterwards, Landon and I met up with Nikki and gave her a break from the hospital by taking her to lunch. She has been there since July between her and Payton's hospital stays and is looking at at least another 2 months before thoughts of going home. Please continue to pray for Nikki and Princess Payton. Landon is ready to play with Miss P! Also continue to pray for Laura and Conner, Mollie and Tyler, and Tiffany and her little peanut! Well tomorrow is a big day for us. Tatum has her 1st dance recital! I can't wait to see how cute she is. I just wish her Jon Jon was here to see her!

My 1st Mothers Day

So yesterday was my First Mother's Day and I had to keep myself from crying just about the whole day. I just kept thinking about how long the road was for me to become a mom and then all the obstacles Landon went through to stay here with me. Landon has given me so much strength with everything he has went through. Being a mom is probably the best gift anyone could have ever given me. Each time Landon smiles, or laughs at me melts my heart. I know he loves me and depends on me for everything and that makes being his mother that much more special. I know as he gets older that his dependability will grow less and less and that we will have our ups and downs because that's what mothers and their children do. But in the end no matter what I will still be his Mother! I love you Landon Bryce and I am so Thankful to be your mother! On another note....Landon had his 9month pictures with Mac Brown Thursday and unlike our 6 month these did not go as well. Landon had just woke up and was not in the mood to smile at anyone. At one point he even took up growling to try and get them to stop. We however did reach a milestone while we were there and that was we found our toes. Up to this point Jonathan and I had to put Landon's feet to his mouth but he found them himself and only wanted to play with his feet the rest of the time. Hopefully they got some good ones! We then on Friday went to Dr. Clifford for our 9month check-up. Landon is now up to 19lbs 5oz and 28in long. Overall we are very healthy! The Dr could not hear any wheezing for once and was very pleased with that. We however still have fluid buildup in our ears so we are yet on another round of antibiotics to try and clear that up. Hopefully it will work along with some different things we are trying at home will work. The Dr. did mention that if we continue to have this problem then we would have to discuss tubes. I know tubes are not that serious, but the poor boy has already been through enough and could really use a break from it all. On a negative note.....Landon has figured out that they nurse is not his friend and that she is the one giving him the shots! The poor boy took one look at her and started screaming. Jonathan and I could not put him down the entire visit at the Dr. So not what I wanted to happen. Oh well....We have our monthly visit to Vandy Pulmonology on Friday and can't wait to tell them how well Landon is doing.
