First things first. All day Monday, Maddox was fine. He played just fine and ate okay for him. The child barely eats... he's the pickiest eater on the planet but i'll get to that in a moment. Oh I guess I should mention Eric has been in the field all week. Monday night he didn't come home and he wasn't supposed to come home until Thursday but I suppose the cadre took pity on the poor men and let them come home late at night beacuse of the cold. It is SOOO cold at night here. As I type it's 26* but the wind is what makes it unbearable. Anyway, Maddox kept waking up which isn't like him so at 10pm I gave him 1tsp of Motrin thinking it was likely his 2 year molars. Well he woke up a few more times and when he woke up at 1:45 he was BURNING UP! I took his temp and it was 103.8 on his forehead. So I loaded us up and we went to the Fortwood ER (which I despise btw). Anyway, after bookoos of waiting they did a chest xray and said he had Pneumonia and sent us home with Amoxicillin. Really? Amoxicillin? That's the least strongest antibiotic out there. I was peeved. I called his pedi the next day but they were covered up but they got us in for this morning at 10:30. I've been giving his motrin and tylenol around the clock to keep his fever down and he won't eat and will only drink when he feels like it which isn't all that often. Anyway, we get into the pedi and she tells me the xray report say atypical pnumonia or some type of air way disease and she thinks it's neither. She said ERs send kids in all the time w/ "pneumonia" when it's just a virus. So she did a repeat xray and said they'd call me later but to keep him on Amoxicillin. Again, I was peeved. I get a call back later in the afternoon saying YES, it is Atypical Pneumonia and she is changing his antiobiotics. I don't want my child to have peumonia, don't get me wrong, but I am so glad to be right and show her she CAN be wrong. Ugh. That just annoys me to no end.
Today I had to go get my estradiol drawn for my appt on Friday to see how my follies are growing and let me tell you that was a goose chase and Maddox feeling the way he did, did not like it one bit. FIrstly, I went to St. John's... cause that's where my RE is at... they said they are ONLY affiliated with Springfield not St. Louis...WTC... ok? So, I go to the hospital, they draw the blood and then tell me they have to send it off and it's going to take 5-7 days. I felt like crying. I have to have those resilts BY Friday. I called my RE's office and told them the issue. They looked up a Quest lab near me and sent in orders for me to go there... so I went there and was stuck another time and NOW hopefully we'll get my levels back in time. I go to my RE on Friday for a follie scan to see how my eggs are growing., whether I need to trigger soon, whether I need more time, whether I need injectables, etc. All of this waiting is so frustrating. I just want to to KNOW.
Anyway, other than that, i'm exhausted... not much is going on. My blog is undergoing a makeover by the sweetest girl named Jennifer :) I can't wait to put my new layout up!! So, if you want your blog button on my page just let me know :-) ! I think my pillow is soon to be calling my name! Night everyone! <3
