TGIF...no seriously...TGIF!!!!

What a lovely (awful) week we have had here. Started out with Shawn being sick on Mother's Day. Grrrr. Then Austin had some "trouble" at school on Monday which required the first sit down with him that night. Both Shawn and I had to sit down and have a talk with him - of which we had to pull the card, "we are so disappointed in you"...I am soooo turning into my parents. (not that they ever ever had to say that to me..well, maybe once or twice). Anyway, we have had no TV since Monday and haven't really decided when it will come back. The problem is that I don't know that Austin has really cared that there is no tv. We physically removed it from the house and he just finds other things to do. He is so laid back which is great until you try and discipline him. Oh well - things have been fine at school since and today is the last day.
Onto other things....I have paid a ridiculous amount in co-pays this week. Monday Lucas went back to the doc to see about his breathing (again) and they put him on a new set of antibiotics and a steroid (after already having been on one antibiotic that didn't work). Yesterday there was still no change in his breathing so we went back and long story short we ended up at Childrens Mercy hospital yesterday afternoon. They had thought he might have pneumonia, but now it is looking like he has asthma. We are having to do breathing treatments every 3-4 hours which is helping some, but I am hoping by this afternoon that he will be doing a lot better. If the wheezing doesn't stop we may have to go to a pulmonary doctor to see if something else is wrong. They did some chest x-rays and didn't find anything specific yet. As for now, they are calling him a "happy wheezer". He is perfectly happy, just can't breathe very well - which makes if very difficult for me to diagnose how serious it is getting. Anyway, it has been very stressful trying to figure out what is wrong with him - I think I have some gray hairs on top of my head.
So, that is why I have neglected to blog in so long. I have also had lots of math work going on (yipee!) so all my spare minutes have gone to that. Speaking of which I better get doing that instead of this...
I hope all is well out there - I will try and post some pics and updates this weekend - I am hopeful that next week will be better!
Hope you are having the time of your life!
