the crud strikes again!!!

Well...Jonah is making sure that we get good use out of our health insurance premiums. We went into the clinic today because he is still very congested and wheezy sounding. His regular doc was not in today so we saw the doc that took care of him when he was in the hospital last month. He agreed with me that he sounded crummy and got an xray. This one looked ok, so that was a blessing, but he still was concerned with the way he sounded and gave us a prescription for some steroids to help with any swelling in his airways from whatever lovely bug is creating these noises. So hopefully that will help us to get through the weekend!

I got some bad news about my schedule at work yesterday. Before I left for maternity leave I basically worked 3 12 hour shifts per week...so Dean and I sat down and decided that we could afford to have me cut back to 5 12 hour shifts per pay period without making too many major sacrifices in our budget. So, I went to the hospital last week & told them. Yesterday, when I looked at my schedule it was filled with 8 hour shifts, so I was actually working 4 or 5 days a week. Evidendly I was told about the fact that my schedule was changing (something that I just don't remember). So now out of a 12 week cycle, I now have 4 weeks of 8 hour shifts. This may not seem like too big of a deal to most people, but it really threw me for a loop as it was TOTALLY not what I was expecting. And now it not only affects me, but Dean, Jonah, and my mom (who is watching Jonah for us when I go back to work). As it turns out, it will work out ok, especially with the cut in hours means less days away from Jonah, but it was a "stretching" day for me yesterday.
