I wanted to stay on track of my frequent posting. I am tried and it is time for bed, so this will be short. I spent most of today dealing with a whiny, clingy, sick boy. He’s had a cold for about 2 weeks and started running a fever this weekend. I took him into the doctor today to learn that he had one raging ear infection, and the other ear wasn’t infected, but it didn’t look normal. He is now on amoxicillin for 10 days. We go back in March for a follow up/18 month appointment. His 18 month appointment was originally scheduled for Thursday morning. We decided to postpone it for two reasons. 1. The vaccinations wouldn’t be as effective since his immune system is already battling one thing. 2. We have to go back in 4 weeks for a follow up to make sure the fluid is out of his ears. Tonight he was doing a little bit better, but not enough to be confident he is definitely on the mend yet. I am working for sure tomorrow. We are going to see how the little boy is doing in the morning before we make any decisions about him staying home/going to daycare. If he stays home, Robert will work from home. So that is my recap of the day essentially.
We are slowly working on getting the house back in order. I had done so well from October to December with keeping everything picked up and cleaned up. Then the holidays came and we never retook control. I am determined to take control once again. I was so happy with having a clean house. I want that feeling back. I am hoping that a little bit of time cleaning on Thursday will accomplish the goal of re-establishing control. We will see what the day brings then.
