Thinking that all was well I sent Julia to school today. No problem right? yeah...anyway, We went to Jaclyns Doctor appt. and had breakfast then went to pick Julia up at school. We took to get her bangs cut and I bought her a headband. She complained in the car that her ear hurt. Silly me I thought it was her headband behind her ears so I told her to take it off. She did and when we got home I left right away to get my hair cut. I got back, just in time to hear that she had been complaining about her ear the entire time and after taking her temp. found out she was 100.7. I decided not to waste time trying to guess what it was and I took her to the doc. right away.
SHE HAS A F#@#&!G EAR INFECTION!!!!!
Mind you she is already on Zythromax! and now she is ALSO on Omnisef. What the f@#K???? The doc wants me to keep my appt. for Monday to check her again, but seriously I'm broke and done. I alone am sending my Doctors kids through college. I quit!

sick house continues...
I'm back from the Doctor and here's the scoop:
#1 child has a back to back virus and seems to be o.k...for now.
#2 child has pneumonia (which more than makes up for the #1 child having nothing) she is on zythromax for 5 days and should improve greatly by the end of the week.
#3 child is constipated and the Doc prescribed 4oz of prune or pear juice once a day to soften poop. Sucks to be me because #3 child doesn't really like juice and I might have to force it in.
ALL of them need to be watched and if any of them has a fever on Friday I need to bring them in when I bring #3 in for her 18 mth check up. AND I have to bring #2 child in at the beginning of next week to have her lungs check again.
Thank God I like my doctor and her staff because I see her a lot.
Having three children during flu season SUCKS!!! Thank GOD for vasectomies...and wine!

sick house
As always at this time of year, my entire family is sick. I am taking each one to the Doctor today in the effort to make sure there is nothing more substantial wrong (infection, bleeding out etc.) Let me explain...
#1 child (Jonathan) has had cold over a week and a half. Fever in the beginning, BAD cough and runny nose. Seemingly on the up swing I sent him back to school (still with a cough a slight runny nose, but definitely improved) Sat. still holding his own(we even went to a party) SO what a surprise to see on Sunday runny nose increases, cough is back stronger and low grade temp. back too... oh, and did I mention the vomit? Yeah, Sunday morning throwing up on the carpet and then again on the flooring. Not the way I want to spend my morning. Of course the man is at work and I am trying to clean up said child and the affected area while keeping smaller children away from playing with disgusting vomit or vomiting themselves(sympathy vomiting). Needless to say everyone was crying and or screaming!
#2 child (Julia) After being sick for about 5 days she has been floating between a 99.5 and 101 for the entire time. 3 days fever and it's time to see the Doc. my rule, but it's always worked for me. She also has a HORRIBLE cough and continuous runny nose.
My gut's saying sinus infection with both, part due to the cold, but part is due to this shitty mild weather and their allergies are acting up again! Not what I need because their Meds cost me a fortune!!!!
As to #3 child (Jaclyn) After the vomit brigade I decided to still go to my parents house for my dad and brothers birthday (giving child#1 strict instructions to not eat anything or touch anyone unless directed by me) After dinner my baby decides she has to poop, you know this because she usually cries when she poops and this time was no exception. (she is sometimes constipated and she's on antibiotics) I change her and notice that there is a little blood on her poop. I looked very carefully to be sure it was only on her poop and not in her poop. Anyway I tell Joe and he said I should take her in to be sure, because blood coming out of the body without there being a cut should be looked at by the Doc.
So now I am taking 3 children into the Doctor and I have to be there in 15 minutes. We'll see what happens!
