Oh the joy of the Dr's office:)

" Tis the season", and dont mean to be JOlly. I mean to make atleast 2 trips a week to the doctors. Yes my SRP bill might go down, but I spend every dime of that extra money at the doctors.
Last monday I took Brex in for an ear infection. Oh how nice, that he is able to now tell me his ear hurts so that I dont have to play the guessing game. Sure enough he had a double infection, so he was given amoxicillin that he has had before. However, this time after taking his entire weeks worth of daily doses, he did what Londyn did a year ago and broke out in a horrible rash and hives, so off to the doctors we go again. This is telling us that our kids are no longer able to take this because there bodies can all the sudden become allergic to this. Good news from that visit was that his infection had cleared up. But he has continued to be stuffy and not be quite himself, and on sat and sunday he was feavered the whole time. It being monday morning today we were off back to the doc's and sure enough he now has another double ear infection, so we are on a new antibiotic. we were told that if he gets anymore that he needs to get tubes in his ears. HOpefully not, but I guess lots of kids get them so we would deal with it if he had too.

Funny how it becomes easier and easier to torture your children:)) just kidding, but when the doc was leaving the room, he asked if any of us (Britt on fall break, londyn, brex or I) would like a flu shot????? hmmmm, sure all of us please. I was just thinking it could cut down on our winter visits. Ohh you would have thought that I just announced the end of the world. Of all of my kids, it was Britt who started crying with fear of the needle. It didnt help that we had to wait another 15 min in the room with the antisipation continued building of how bad it was going to be.

Brex went first, with a few tears but the bandaid fixed all. Londyn just scowled and said Ohh that hurt. Next was Britt, I seriously had to pry her out of the chair and all but sit on her while the nurse stabbed her:) I think even being 10 the bandaid helped a little:) next I got mine also. Afterwards we all felt the need to hit a target and get us a suprise for doing so good.
