Sunday: We all said goodbye to Tim for the week, he left to Wyoming for work. ... Then, we took Austin over to his Dad's to stay the week, and Grandma Polad invited all of us over for dinner! Yum! We had chicken Kabobs and they were great! Shailyn hadn't been feeling well all weekend, but she hadn't complained much so we thought her allergies were bothering her. After we got home, I was trying to get laundry done, and Shailyn started complaining her back hurt, I told her to go get into the shower and see if the warm water would help. Nope! the water was no help! She laid down for a while but around 9:30 she started bawling because she was in so much pain, I rushed Kaysie out of the shower so we could make it to Instacare before they closed (and save me the deductlible I would've had at the ER!) So off we went...
Poor Shailyn felt terrible! You can see it in her eyes, she was in a lot of pain! Come to find out she was having muscle spasms in her back... Unfortunately, there is not a lot you can do for it. My instructions were, give her an ibuprofen every 4 hours, and come back in 4 days if it hasn't gone away (Why did I pay a copay to hear this? I think I could've figured that out on my own!)
Monday: Monday we had Dance rehearsal, of course the girls were fabulous!
then we headed over to visit my Mom and Dad.
Tuesday: We decided to have a girls night! We went out to Applebee's, the girls got Shirley Temple's and we enjoyed dinner together. Then we headed off to get their hair cut (just a trim, Kaysie wanted hers cut to her chin, but I told her she could wait until school starts ~ I can FINALLY pull her hair up and actually do things to it, I know I am being selfish but come on! They are only little once!) Just in time for bed Shailyn started having coughing attacks. I gave her some Triaminic at 10:00, but by midnight the coughs were back so I gave her some Robitussin, then I went to bed. At 2:00 AM she woke me up coughing again... We went to the kitchen and dug through the cupboards for anything that would help... I came up with some Chloroseptic lozenges and a few drops of Nyquil. Finally she was able to sleep! Poor thing I felt so bad!
Wednesday: I let Shailyn sleep in to make sure she was okay, I figured I would not be going into work after our long night; however she woke up at 9:00 AM and was angry I let her sleep in. She said she felt better and she wanted to go to Tammi's today. So I got ready, checked her temperature, stopped and bought some cough medicine, dropped them off and headed to work.
Wow what a long week! Wait ~ it is only Wednesday!!! I hope this week ends better than it started!
