Just got back from getting Brynn's shots - break the heart. She just cried for a second, then konked right out.
BUT I'm a little miffed...Howie fell asleep last night at about 7 - which is HIGHLY unusual and didn't wake up until 10:30 today when I woke him up to go to the doctor's for Brynn. Okay - he wet - which is also not normal for him - and so I put him in the bath - which is also not normal for him (hahah - just kidding, sounded like it fit, though) and then I came back in here to get Brynn ready - went back in there and he was laying down in the bath trying to sleep EEEEEK - so I got him out, got him dressed and had to carry him to the car, he doesn't have a fever at this point. But I'm thinking something's wrong - last time he acted like this - he had pnemonia.
SOOOO - get to the doctor's check Brynn in - ask if there's another openeing, nope, can't see Howie. Whatever, so I went back w/ Brynn, Howie climbed up on the exam table and fell asleep. - oh - rewind - he COULD NOT walk from the car to the doctor's office - he had NO energy - I had to carry him. - okay - so nurse comes in - measures Brynn, takes her temp, asks about Howie, I said he wasn't feeling well, this is highly unlike him and I think he may have pnemonia, do they have a pulse ox machine? no they don't (what kind of dr's office doesn't?????) anyway - she sort of shrugged and left (didn't even offer to take his temp) SO then the doctor comes in - same thing - looks at the table, "what's wrong w/ him" I said he was sick, he has absolutely no energy and can't keep his eyes open, I don't know what's wrong with him...she sort of ignored it and then did Brynn's check up - UH - HELLOOOO?? I swear if I was a doctor, I wouldn't care WHAT other snotty nosed kids were in the other waiting room, obviously there's something wrong w /the boy - and how hard is it to listen to his lungs? What? Afraid of liable? Fine, check his butt in & THEN listen to his lungs - I totally can't believe they had no COMPASSION on a dead, lifeless looking kid! So I had to wake him up after Brynn got her shots & carry him to the car because he COULD NOT EVEN STAND UP! On my way out, the nurse sort of looked at me & chuckled the "my, your hands are full" chuckle - uh - WTH?
Anyway - so I came straight home - I wanted to feed brynn, but she's out cold in her car seat - so Howie climbed on to the couch, started to drift out then told me he wanted Eggo's. I'm thinking that he's feeling better - but NO, I make his eggo's he sits down to eat them and pukes in his plate. I cleaned up the mess and then he asked for more eggo's! UH - so I made him more - I figger if he's got the appetite, let him eat, right? So far he's wide awake and ate two eggo's and a handful of chips....what do I make of that? I'm keeping him home from school today, JUST IN CASE!
And nice to know that today is my "make dinner for everyone" day in the co-op thingy - hopefully everything will go smooth from here on out.
(I'm moving, but I'm not going anywhere!)
