Adenosine

Robert and I got the notification that our certification results will be sent out on friday and we'll have them on Monday or Tuesday at the latest. We took the boards exams and hands on walk through. If I did well then I'll pass, if I didn't pass I'm going to be so bloody well pissed off I'll be sharing some words with NWU. However, I don't think that's the case, but I'll fret over it until I get the official word.

Mark and I haven't had much sleep lately. Reilly isn't sleeping through the night and in the last 24 hours has developed a cold. He's favoring a low fever with congestion, we put him on a breathing treatment to open and clear up his lungs to avoid fluid buildup and lots of menthol vapor. As of late Reilly has been sleeping in his playpen in our bedroom so his middle of the night crying wouldn't wake up the girls. However, now he won't sleep in his crib. Since he's been sick the vapor treatments have been smelling our room up like menthol which is stomach turning. We put the vapor back in his room and last night let him sleep in his crib. He cried for almost an hour before falling asleep, but since that we've not had one problem getting him to sleep in his crib. I told Katherine (our nanny) to make him take his naps in his crib and use the baby monitor. She said he didn't cry at all, I think we've just solved a problem.

I have to go to the hospital early tomorrow to get a cbc, chest xray and ultrasound. Since the hospital chemical exposure I've been fighting nausea and I can live with that, but my wbc is low and that worries me a little. Hopefully I'll get it all sorted out tomorrow, and if anything get some answers. It's now affecting my work, during an ER round exam on an elderly patient Mark asked for a procedure and turned and I left the room and was in the other exam room vomitting. He came in and asked if I was alright and then said I looked pale and should go home. I stayed until 2pm and it was only 10 in the morning. I got home and Katherine said she'd stay until Rachel or Mark came home.

I went upstairs and took a shower, the last thing I remember is the clock saying 3:10pm. I woke up to Mark's hand on my hand and asking if I was feeling alright. I didn't really say anything because I was half awake. I asked where the kids were and he said don't worry about it and that he made dinner and gave Ella and Reilly their baths. I asked him how work was and he said he was tired. I put my hand on his neck and he seemed as though he needed to relax. I grabbed his hand and pulled him down next to me, he layed down and I turned facing him with my hand in his and my other hand on his head. Within literally a few minutes we were both asleep, the downside to this? Waking up at 3am wide awake. I went and checked on the kids and Mark took a shower, Reilly was asleep in his crib he managed to kick his blankets off of himself so I covered him up. Ella was asleep on the sofa downstairs with the tv on. I picked her up and took her up to her room. Rachel was sound asleep so I turned all the lights off downstairs and went up to the room and Mark called me, I went into the bathroom and we were talking. We found ways of entertaining ourselves at 3am, the irony is that I'm not tired and I have Friday and Saturday off of work.
