Ok I thought that it was only fair to share the rest of the story with you guys so here goes!

On Monday I took Nathan to the Er because he had diarrhea and vomiting all day and could keep nothing else down including the high fever and the blisters and all that. When we got there I waited for 6 hours and watched this military doctor see patients in the waiting room when there was no need to do so.. he actually diagnosed the patients before seeing them. I was not comfortable with this at all not to mention how many HIPPA violations he just broke. But I guess in a ARMY hospital you can do that I do not know but I did not like it, he did take Nathan back to a room and told me that he had strep throat a double ear infection (without looking into his ears) Nathan told him my ears hurt a little. Asthma and the flu. He gave him some penicillin and an inhaler and sent him on his way. I thought to myself this is why people say this crippler instead of its real name. So yes I kept his doctors appointment for the following day...

On Tuesday his temp had gone down, and when we got there she actually did a throat culture and it came back that he did not have strep, his ears were not red, so no signs of infection, she did agree that he had asthma, which we already knew but she decided to do a chest X-Ray to see what was going on and she showed me the pneumonia he had in hi lower lobes and yes he did have alot of junk down there, which is why is cough is so productive.... I could not believe it! She then gave him a different medicine and a follow up appointment. I left there feeling more confident that it was taken care of.

On Wednesday I had my OB appointment where they told me that they would be checking the placement of the placenta, so I brought Nathan along to see the ultrasound since he had never seen one. When I got there, she did not know about my ER visit, not sure why I called her office to tell them, if they do not follow through with the message. But anyway she then tells me that she was not going to check placement yet, but because of my complications she was going to check the fetal heart rate and then do another culture to see if there is an infection and to see if I have started going into preterm labor.... Remember I have Nathan with me... So he listens to the heart rate and it is too low. Like 100 beats per minute.. It should not be below 120. So Nathan gets scooted out of the room and they do all the other tests. They then hook me up to another machine and Nathan gets to see his ultrasound while they were looking for my cervix's. Long story short, my cervix is shrinking but is still closed and the heart rate was actually 150 beats per minute and the baby was fine. It just means that I might go into preterm labor, so I am back to every two week appointments for lab work. Not a good day for me to bring Nathan to the appointment with me.

Its now Friday and Nathan is feeling much better. He is back to driving me crazy because he doesn't want to stay at home any longer, he is bored... LOL He feels much better....I am nice and rested up and I promise I am finished with the complaining to you.

Thanks for listening to me....

Oh my goodness I forgot the funniest part about my weekend! On Saturday Ray had arranged it so a group of his co workers to get together to go out on his boat, no problem right. Wrong! We all went out on the boat (I was hoping that the cooler air would bring down his temp,which it did) but then his boat over heated and we sat in the bay for over an hour before someone helped us get back to shore! The boys spent the rest of the day trying to fix the boat, they thought that had fixed the boat and then took it out Sunday afternoon without me this time. The same thing happened but they each had to take turns pulling the boat in... I believe that Nathan laughed the whole entire time it took them to get back to shore!

Ray thought that he had fixed the problem again and yep you guessed it when he took the boat out again yesterday the same thing happened, he now has fixed every possible thing that could be causing the problem except the manifolds and of course they do not make the part that he needs anymore, he will have to get a conversion kit to fix the problem! Which is not cheap by any means.
