So, I think Jake has another ear infection. I think it's at least been three since the start of the new year. I have been hesitant to take him in, because Madi and I have a little cough too! I was thinking...if I could just hold out, it would get better. I hate going to the doctor's office. I always feel foolish for some reason. I don't remember going to the doctor's when I was a kid. Jake has practically lived there. When the doctor comes in he lays down and pulls up his shirt. He even does the big breaths in when the doctor listens to his chest. Today, he has been coughing, it seems like, at least every minute. We went to Walmart to pick up a few things and I thought I would get him a treat at McDonald's. As we were in line he started coughing again and he threw up all over himself and the floor. I know he is not to blame, but I was so embarrased. I tried cleaning up the floor. As I was doing that he threw up again. I finally cleaned it up the best I could and left WalMart in tears. The crazy thing was, right before we went into WalMart, I called the Dr's and I got an appt for 3:30 today. Scott (is now) coming home so he can watch the girls. The last time we were there, in the middle of February, they said that if his current ear infection did not clear up or he got another one soon after we might have to talk about tubes in his ears.... needless to say, my stomach is in knots. I am glad Scott is coming home so that I can really talk to the Dr. without having to corral 3 kids. I hate to worry, but it is what I do well at I guess. Thanks to those who read for letting me vent...sorry you had to read it!
We'll see what happens..........
Update... We went to the Dr's and Jake did not have an ear infection..but the dr. said it's not to say he won't get one! Lovely... I think someone in MY FAMILY...maybe STACEY...needs to marry a doctor so that he can teach me how to tell if it is an ear infection! The doc asked if anyone in our family had allergies. I said yes, so she now thinks maybe it is allergies. She gave me a sample of Zyrtec to see if that helps. After I left the office, of course it was not after, not when I was in the office, I thought how could it be allergies if Madi and I have it too. Oh well we'll see. Now I will keep my fingers crossed it gets better soon!
After the dr's we went to the park....what a nice day outside today. It's sad to think it will get cold again by the end of the week!
