IVs with 2 children...

fondreflections · Nov 22, 2008

Well, I couldn't get better...I did Cipro 500 mg three times a day for 2 weeks, and it didn't do a thing. I actually had a fever the final 3 days...

So I'm on Tobramyacin, once a day, and Cefepine, twice a day, for the next 3 weeks. There goes my 27th birthday and Thanksgiving...

I don't know...I feel so lost...so confused...I highly doubt this would have happened without the kids in my life. Winter is my good season, and I just had
IVs 10 months ago. I usually go 1.5 years. My FEV1 was 64% right before they came to us, and my health was amazing. After 3 weeks, my health slipped, slipped, and more so...

The first 3 weeks were a nightmare, and my health couldn't seem to bounce back...

We are trying to keep the boys through this and work through the health issues; however, I can't help but to wonder IF I made the 'right choice. It only took 6.5 weeks to end up on IVs...I think I bit off more than I could chew...2 children, close in age, under 5, at once...

Like I said, we are going to try and work through this; however, I'm feeling really lousy right now. I'm not sure how much further my FEV1 dropped since 2 weeks ago, but it has...I also managed to lose 3 more pounds since my appointment 2 weeks ago.

Yes, I may be a fool, but I wanted to share with you all EVERYTHING that is happening with my foster care experience because I know some of you have thought about entering the areana.

I really feel that what I am experiencing now is MUCH HARDER than experiencing a pregnancy because I just keep getting hit from all angles, whether it's from the 3.5-year-old, the county, or whoever else...I'm not saying that being pregnant isn't hard, but this is so much more than I ever could have imagined...

Being a parent is hard work whether you go through a pregnancy, adopt or are fostering. I always says that the care of the child is the hardest because unlike a pregnancy that goes away.....the child care is ALWAYS there.

Some days easier then others, but always there. Whether it be an emotionally sick or physically sick child.....it all takes a toll. Just having a child well/ill or adjust/unadjusted is a huge responsibility.

It is something you really have to think about. You also have to imagine that IF the kids get sick (which will happen when they are exposed to other kids) & what if doing iv's at home is not enough for you.

Do you have plans or is it a problem with the county if you cant be home?

I hate to discourage you, but you really need to think about all this.

I hope the iv's work well & you bounce back. It will take awhile because you cant focus solely on yourself now!

Thank you for posting your thoughts on this tender subject. With the craziness of my health this past year, Brad and I have said time and again how glad we are to not have the added stress of kids in our life. Granted, our decision isn't the popular choice, but for our lifestyle it's what we needed to do.

I hope that things start improving for you soon.

I think being pregnant slowly gets you used to less sleep etc and then when they are babies they sleep so much that isnt too hard (well for us but we had a fairly easy baby) its once they start to be awake more and more things get challenging and you went from zero to 100mph in 2.2 seconds <img src="i/expressions/hugging.gif" border="0">. My guess is if you are wondering these thing you probably already know the answer, its in you somewhere, and I dont know what way it is but its there.

I do not see myself taking care of two kids under 5 and doing IV's in the future we will always (hopefully) have a back up daycare plan for at least some of those days. I did IV's when my daughter younger but she just went to daycare as if I was home. Is there anyone who can help you out? If the county has strict rules and there is noone else who can tend to them and you have to do IV's then it seems this could pose a large problem unless perhaps they really like snuggling in bed and watching movies ---which it sounds like they are too full of energy to do?

Good luck, whatever you decide.
