One of Those Days

Yesterday was one of those days, you know the kind where you cant wait for it to be over? Brandon had a cyst on his wrist that needed to be operated on. So yesterday we took him to get surgery, it was minor, and he did really well, other then coming out of sedation and seeing me and saying, "There is Heavenly Father." as he points across the room, "And there are angles everywhere!" smiling at me like he is 5 again he continues to say, "And there you are, well there is four of you, but you are beautiful. I love your hair, you look so pretty." I realized that this conversation needed to be documented, so I recorded him and asked series of questions. It was really funny to see him like that. I wish I could say the whole day was all smiles.

Irey has been really sick. The flu bug as got her, and of course on Monday it was at it worst. The night before surgery I couldn't sleep because Irey couldn't sleep. She kept having really bad nightmares and her temperature just kept climbing, so of course I didn't go to bed until 2am due to not knowing what to do? Thank goodness for webMD because I would have sat up all night debating if I should or shouldn't take her to the doctor. Monday morning she threw up all over the carpet, Monday afternoon all over her crib, and Monday night all over her dad (who had not floated down from his dream world quite yet) and the chair. Once we got her cleaned up we put her in bed and I was relieved for her to be out for the night. Sick babies are a lot of work. Well I should have know that your never off the clock because at midnight she woke up crying and crying. I gave her medicine and still she continued to cry. I got smart after a hour of trying everything and woke up Brandon to give her a blessing. It was short, simple, and sweet and best of all it did the job. Soon after, Irelyn had calmed down and was content in my arms. After a hour of me holding her she was finally asleep enough for me to put her in the crib with out freaking out.

I wanted to make every pain go away. I wanted to cry when there was nothing I could do to make her feel better. It's so frustrating not being able to kiss away every hurt. To wipe away the tears and replace it with her much loved goofy smile. I felt helpless yesterday, the two most important people in my lives, out of order. Being the mom and the wife I wanted to fix the broken things and it just sucks I cant. But now yesterday is over, today Brandon's wrist is recovering and he is himself again, although it was so fun to see him like that, and Irey is still sick but it has moved on to the laying around and do nothing but cuddle and sleep phase. We need day like this once and a while to keep us on our toes.
