Yesterday E came home early from daycare because he was so fussy. If I haven't said it before let me just tell you that E is the happiest baby ever so for him to be that fussy is very rare. He woke up fussy yesterday and he always wakes up happy. Davin picked him up around noon and took him back to the doctor. The doctor was concerned about his lungs so he did an x ray. Davin had to help hold his shoulders down so Davin was basically in the x ray too. He got to wear the x ray jacket at least. The doctor said his lungs looked okay so he put him on a z pack which is stronger medicine than he was on.
Alea was home last Friday with a sore throat and ear ache but was better by Saturday afternoon. I started feeling the sore throat and ear ache by Saturday night. By Monday I was pretty much feeling the soreness all day. Monday night was the worst so I decided to take today off since the baby still wasn't himself and I was sick too. We actually took the baby to the daycare in the morning so I could get a little extra rest and go to the doctor without taking him with me. After the doctor I picked him up and we are at home hanging out until his visit with his mom later this afternoon. Since I am home I will transport him to his visit. I am glad to do it so I can talk to his mom and let her know how he has been feeling and that we are trying our best to care for him.
The doctor's office we have gone to since we moved to Arkansas has gotten to be too big and such a hassle. The office is about 20 minutes from our house and when we go there we can expect to wait for him for two to three hours!! Counting the wait for meds at WalMart and the drive it is easily a four hour affair. E's doctor is about 6 minutes from our house and he seems great so I decided to try to switch today. They are actually the same group so all of my information transferred. I called at 8 and got an appointment for 10. I went to my appointment at 10 and was back in my car by 10:15 with a prescription for meds already called in to Walgreens!! When the doctor walked in he asked if I was E's mom and if he had just seen E yesterday with my husband. I said yes. He said, "Okay, I am going to put you on the same medicine I put him on only a stronger dose. Now, what is wrong with you?" He looked at my ears and throat but didn't do a strep test which I was happy about because I have been known to slap away hands who try to give me a strep test (involuntarily, of course). I am so happy I switched.
I think the baby and I are going to go try to take a nap now.
