It's been crazy at our house and I feel like I haven't had much time to scrap. Wait, I did get my week, 3, 4 and 5 for the P365 finished. Did I upload them here? No. Yep, I'm a slacker.
For the past three Monday's we have been to the doctor's office. The first Monday my oldest had a double ear infection. No fun. Funny thing is he was in no pain, none. The reason I took him was because he had a cough and it kept getting worse. Turns out that a cough can be caused by the ear infection. I'll be darn, who knew? I mean, three kids and plenty of ear infections.....and never heard of that.
The second Monday a not so fun one either. First, the Friday before my youngest was getting out of the shower and as I was drying him off I saw something red by his ear, just a little bigger than a pencil eraser and it had little red bumps on it. Plus he said it itched. I swear it looked just like posion ivy, but it's winter and can't obviously be that. I put some cortizone on it and sent him to school. After school his grandparents picked him up from school and he spent the weekend with them. I told them about the spot and to put cortizone on it. By the time he came home, the red spot had grown quite a bit. I sent him to school and went on to work. I had planned on calling the pediatrician's office at 9:00 when they opened. Didn't have to wait that long to find out what it was. The school nurse called me (school had just started) and informed me that Johnathan had ringworm. What? Where in the heck does someone get that? I asked her that as well to which she replied "oh several kids and a teacher have it here at school". Just great! Got him in for an appointment and got some meds for it. Poor kid. Did I say yuck yet? If not, yuck!
Now to this Monday. It all started late Sunday afternoon. The boys were out playing in the snow and I'm taking lots of pictures of them when all of a sudden there is a scream so loud that it pierced your ears! My youngest was screaming bloody murder and crying. I asked Jimmy what happened and of course he didn't know. I asked Johnathan what happened and he told me that Jimmy punched him in the eye. It took me about an hour to get him calmed down. He fell asleep so I went about doing things. Later on he woke up screaming, holding his eye and he wouldn't open it. At first I thought he didn't hurt it that bad and may be faking it.......no he wasn't. He was awake through most of the night. So of course yesterday morning I call the doctor first thing and got an appointment. Turns out, Johnathan has a scratched cornea. Yeah, big brother is in BIG trouble. He has to have drops in his eyes three times a day. If we don't see improvement by Thursday, we have to call the doctor so that he can get us in to a specialist.
The joys of being a parent.
