Yesterday was not fun. Two kids woke up sick...with different things going on. Owen has a cold...no big deal, kids get them all the time. Ryan had a fever...a nice high fever, especially for a kid who never ever has a fever. He also was complaining that his belly hurt around his belly button, a lot. I gave him meds and they did nothing. Nothing at all. Fever went higher. I called the doctor and she basically told me to take him to urgent care for a strep test. So I did. It was negative. Did I mention I had all 3 kids with me? Yeah, and no iPad, coloring, or anything at all to entertain them -- oh and they had not had a snack -- oh and it was 4pm. So then they do blood work. The doctor tells me I need to get to the ER, they are concerned about his appendix.
A great friend meets me at the ER to take the other two kiddos and Ryan and I wait around for a bit. Finally, we are seen and they do their thing there, he goes for an ultrasound, check his urine, review blood work, etc and finally we are released with a diagnosis of some sort of virus. Thanks urgent care for scaring the crap out of me.
Oh and did I mention that my Mother-in-law had a stroke this week? She is better now, thank goodness! Did I also mention that my 91 year-old grandmother also had a stroke this week? She is still in the hospital recovering. Oh and her house was robbed. Seriously, this week is nearly enough to push a person over the edge.
I honestly do not remember the last time this happened.
pitiful.
While I was helping with keeping Ryan entertained while they drew his blood, Owen snapped 178 pictures of my butt. Thanks kid.
