She was sparring in class and got kicked while blocking and it was swollen. She iced it down, we ate dinner and where hanging out at the house and she kept complaining about the pain, so at about 10 pm we took off in the stormy weather to find an Urgent Care or Emergency Clinic to get her checked out. We ended up off the Beltway at the Memorial Herman Emergency Clinic......(BIG MISTAKE). We were there 3 hours later (and all they had done was take her vitals and sent us back out to the waiting room). Finally at 1am...I gave up (the girls were both asleep waiting), and we were no where in sight of being seen! I took them home and decided to take her elsewhere in the morning!!
At this point we were still in good spirits..taking waiting room selfies!
We slept through Band camp, and then got ready to go. I talked to Danny and he suggested we call Kelsey to see if we could get an appointment that day. That worked. They gave us a 2pm appointment in Spring. We finished getting ready and then headed to Office Depot to get some on sale school supplies! Once that was done we headed over to our appointment a little early. We saw the dr., got some x-rays done, and turned out nothing was broken. The tendons were swollen, and she suggested we ice it for 2 days then apply head until the swelling was completely gone.
While we were there Danny called and said he was headed to see his dr as well. You know that overwhelming panic that sets in. Like oh crap...when it rains it pours. I immediately felt panicky! I was thinking: why didn't they talk to you over the phone?, why are they calling you in on a Saturday?, is it serious? oh my goodness...my imagination was running wild!!
I finally heard back from Danny a couple hours later and it turns out he has kidney stones! Pray for my hun.....having kidney stones sucks!!
While he was still gone, we decided to go to Target to buy Hannah's birthday present. We had a busy schedule for Saturday morning that involved the Henderson's 20th Anniversary celebration all morning, Hannah's birthday party in the evening, and Danny and I going to check out a band for Makaila's 15 in the night!
We bought Hannah's gift and a few other items that were on sale! LOL When we got home, Danny decided to take us to a new place he had read about for dinner...Stomp's in Seabrook! Great choice...the food was great..prices were great and we had a fun time. We all ate, then drove around the Kemah area taking pictures of all the Seagull statues, and pulled up to their pier to check out the birdies!
It was a nice calm evening spent together...so we were pretty happy. Little did we know that it was the calm before the storm!
Aside from Makaila's thumb still hurting her...Issy started to have a tummy ache later that night.
Her tummy ache turned into tossing and turning and crying, and eventually turned into profuse vomiting! I'm not talking just a quick vomit and she felt better...I'm talking crazy uncontrollable painful vomiting, that just wouldn't stop. her stomach was in so much pain we could visibly see it constricting over and over and she would double over in pain!! After the third round of this...I showered both her and I to remove what got on us on our runs to the thrown.....and loaded her in the car with a bag and a bucket and headed straight to the medical center to Texas Children's Hospital. As a parent...I think we always fear the worst and I was thinking ruptured appendix or something crazy.....
Issy and I made it in 30 minutes and breezed through the ER...they took her back almost immediately...checked her vitals, asked some questions and started the testing. The doctor was in her room (no kidding) within ten minutes of our arrival!! The gave her some medicine to help with the nausea and vomiting and then we waited. She gave a urine sample, and we waited some more. She stared to fall asleep..saying she felt so much better after all the throwing up and was tired.
A couple other doctors came by to see her and ask questions, and decided poor Issy was suffering from a bad stomach bug that was going around. (To prove the point...another kid her age came in as we were getting discharged with all the exact same symptoms!!). Finally feeling better and relieved that it was nothing serious we headed home at 5am. I got home and slept for 2 hours, and then woke up to take Makaila to the special training at Henderson's with our old instructor Mr. H. I had no energy to stay, so I went back home and rested on the couch for an hour, and then got back up at 9:30 to pick her up.
Makaila and Danny left to my in-laws at about 11 am, and Issy and I stayed home resting and waiting for the bug to kick in again. We watched tv on the couch and played a board game, and colored for awhile....she was feeling way better, but given what the hospital said about the bug we decided to keep her home, no 20th anniversary celebration for her, or Hannah's birthday party.....she cried for awhile!
The day came and went and we stayed home for all of it. Makaila went to Hannah's party and Danny went to check out the band he was interested in for Makaila's 15...and me and Issy relaxed. I will say though that I was so exhausted and sleepy that I couldn't get to sleep! You ever have that feeling?
Sunday morning everyone woke up feeling good. Issy hadn't had any incidents all day Saturday, so we figured it was just a bad fluke! We all got ready and headed to church! The Ramirez's met us there and Karena, Ava and Carlos joined us too! The service was great. Pastor Mark talked about living for the pleasure of God and stop focusing on what others think of you or what others have!!
Honestly though I was able to hold Ava during service and I was distracted by all her cuteness. She was gooooing and smiling and I just couldn't resist playing with her. Despite the shhh's that I kept getting from Danny...I enjoyed that little precious baby during service!
After church we went back to our house and ordered pizza and had lunch. The kids all took off to Bahama Bucks and Ernie joined us so the big kids (adults) took off to Costco. We all bought a ton of crap and came home a couple hours later content! Everyone headed home and we sat on the couch and relaxed. We spent the rest of the evening in blissful peace! We had some dinner at a place in Deerpark called Southern Comfort...it was delicious (and they had a ton of animals mounted on the walls)!! We had some good laughs and Danny even helped me tackle the girls so that we could tease them and yell YOLO, and Turnt up at them...LOL(we are the point where we are embarrassing to Makaila...LOL)
It was a rough weekend...but I was with my girls and my honey. We shared some good time with Family and by the end of the weekend everyone was feeling good and happy!
Have a great week....and get some rest!! That's my goal!!
