The new year is here and at least 2 people in our house have had to go the doctor's office already. We are off to a great start. LOL!!! I guess we are trying to hit our out of pocket early this year. :) Who knew.
Well anyways...
School started back up on Monday and as I was getting ready to take Gavin to school Rhett walks into my room grabbing the back of his head on the side where the shunt is placed and told me that his head hurt. (At this point I was panicking.) I asked him calmly what he did and he said nothing. OK, What the crap!!! So I said, "Rhett can you go to school or do I need to take you to the doctors?" (Usually when I say that they instantly perk up and are ready to avoid the doctors office.) He on the other hand was kneeling next to my bed with his head laying on my bed and still grabbing his head. He was silent for a little bit and I let him be that way for 60 seconds since I was trying to get out the door with Gavin and if I needed to call the bus driver I had to do it soon. So I asked him again and he said that he needed to go to the doctor. CRAP!!!!! This would happen after a two weeks off of school and the first day back he can't even go. Seriously if you are going to get sick do it before you have to go school silly boy. :/ LOL!! So I called the bus driver as I walked Gavin to school and let her know that Rhett wasn't going to be going to school. As soon as I got home I find out that while I was gone he had thrown up. (GREAT! Sigh.) So I send everyone else out to school and then call the doctors office. There first appointment with his doctor wasn't until 10:30, so I set it up at that time then asked Rhett if he wanted to wait or go into the walk-in clinic that is between 8 and 9. I will usually take him if the doctor that is working that knows him and gratefully it was a doctor that knows him. (Thank you for the tender mercy.) By the time we were headed to the doctors office it was almost 8:30 since he said he didn't want to wait until later. We get there 3 minutes to 9, and the walk-in clinic was almost closed. I told them that we have an appointment but he said that he needed to come earlier. They got us back quite quickly since they all know us. :) (Yes we are famous at the doctors office.) So they check him in and (another tender mercy) he doctor sees him before the rest of the patients that were already starting to show up since he was there. He was having problems breathing so the doctor gave him a breathing treatment and told him to take his medicine. He then turns to me and says... "If he is having a hard time breathing that could cause headaches and vomiting." Nice to know. Wish I would have known that before.
By Wednesday I was coughing thanks to my lovely boys who are not sure how to cover their mouths and wash their hand properly. I need to put them in a bubble so they don't get sick and in turn won't share their colds and viruses with me. Since they just love to cuddle when they are sick. I called my doctors since I couldn't stop coughing and I was having a hard time with my breathing since I could feel whatever it was in my lungs. They were just not very nice to me on the phone. They said that my doctor didn't have any appointments open until sometime next week, and that there were no doctors available then she suggested I go to InstaCare and not even wait until the next day let alone next week. So I went to InstaCare just to be told I have the same virus that the boys have and they put me on breathing treatments and cough medicine. Well it is now Friday and I am still coughing like crazy. At least I have a slight voice and I was able to go to work for a few hours until it was too much and I felt like I couldn't breathe. I came home and slept for about an hour before the kids started coming home from school. If you ever want to work out your abs without putting making an effort get a virus that makes you cough like no tomorrow. It is the smartest way to work out your abs without having to really do anything. LOL!! Ok so I honestly would not recommend it EVER!
It is nice having a set schedule and having the kids back in school even if the homework battle has started back up. Ok it isn't even very hard waking up at 5 since I am able to at least stretch in the morning before the kids all need to get up and going. As long as everyone gets healthy before next week I will be very grateful. I think I have it worse than anyone right now and it is horrible. I think I need to see what I can do to invent that bubble. :) When I get it down I will let everyone know and they can buy them from me and that way it will help keep everyone healthy. HAHAHA!!!
I hope you all have been having a great new year so far. :)
