Send my HEART racing!

This is a post about my heart, but not a Valentines Day post. I guess I'll explain about Conway's BHS (breath holding spells) He did it 2 times this week where he gets hurt, holds his breath, then passes out and starts breathing. Well this send my heart racing. It scares the snot out of me. So Thursday night he did this right before bed and of course he's fine except I'm all panicky (if that's a word). Then I was exhausted all day Friday because I worried about him all night Thursday. Friday I watched extra kids for about 5 hours, then I had to work, then we went to Home Depot (for seeds for the renewed garden) and the ward Valentines dance. Dayson and I were pooped. Conway was a CRACK UP. It was for adults, but we didn't have a sitter and were only there so James could get some cobbler. Anyway, Conway was on the dance floor in his jamies really cutting a rug. I think most eyes were on him. Every few minutes he would fun over to one of the planters and stand in the rocks. I think it was keeping his feet warm. It was outdoors. So we go home and get the kids to bed and i don't think I lasted much longer than them. Then, heart racer #2 happens. I had only been asleep for 15 minutes and something (in my dream) wakes me up. I heard a man yelling at someone. i thought it had been hours that I was asleep and I look over and James is not in bed. So I run out to the family room and he is not there either. So I start screaming "where are you, are you OK?" Well, it was just a dream, but it scared me. He was in Dayson's room because Dayson was having a hard time breathing and him crying was making it worse. He sounded horrible. I was able to calm him down (sometimes it just takes mom), then I calmed down and went back to bed. Then at 12:30 in the morning, the phone rings. this always starts my heart racing because it usually means something bad has happened (or it's the wrong number and that ticks me off!) Well it was my dad and Brittany was having a hard time breathing as well. He was looking for a breathing machine, but everything was alright. So much for a good night sleep. then Dayson was up coughing nice and early in the morning. I had a client at 8:30, then had to peel and cut about 150 carrots! I'm 2/3's of the way done. James is at school studying, but we are going out to a movie for V day. hope yours goes well. I just want to sleep and let my heart recover.

Sheesh, what a weekend. I'm so sorry for all the breathing problems- that's sounds terrible. Especially Conway! That takes some serious determination to hold your breath long enough to pass out. Good luck, and I hope you can sleep tonight.

Oh, no! I'm so sorry for your terrible time. I, on the other hand, completely slept through Brittany's trouble! I woke up the next morning and asked if someone had needed the breathing machine because I thought it had been a dream. I think my lack of sleep caught up with me that night of all nights. Glad everyone's ok now!
