It has been has been a crazy and interesting week in the Christensen household. Carl got very sick really fast on Friday and was up the entire night coughing and having asthma attacks (scary.) So we took him to the immediate care first thing Saturday morning and the doc diagnosed him with walking pneumonia, prescribed a med and sent him on his way. The prescription was 100.00 to fill (INSANE especially just for 7pills.) The doc ordered that if he did not feel any better by Tuesday on the med's to come back in. So Tuesday came and we went back in and saw a different doctor. This doctor did a more thorough exam, ordered a chest ex-ray, gave Carl a breathing treatment (nebulizer) and diagnosed him not with pneumonia but the flu (go figure that's what Carl was trying to tell the doc the first time around) and Bronchitis on top of it.
Four more prescriptions later (total was under the first) Carl was starting to feel better and then he had to go back to his crazy non-sleeping work schedule and is now feeling yucky all over again.
We're thinking that a job might not be worth more than his health so hopefully he can switch hours at Ideal if not we'll be looking elsewhere and this momma has to seriously pray about whether or not she should be the one to get a part time job. Hubby doesn't want to send me off to work but I'm not sure I can justify staying home anymore. And if the push comes to shoving I would rather get a part time job somewhere else than to 1..have a sick hubby all the time, and 2. do babysitting for others...not sure why but i really struggle with the idea of daycare for other children, just not my thing and I've tried to make it my thing...but it just isn't.
In the midst of it all i found myself worried a lot. About things that are now and things that are yet to come and have to take myself back to Mathew 6. Not that that chapter magically waves away all my anxieties there is just something extremely comforting when Jesus tells people not to worry about their lives.
