Not off to a good start...

Well the 2 year olds are not off to a good start. I'm beginning to think that 2 is going to be our "sick" year. Every kid has one I think. Anyways, we went to visit the doctor again today...Good thing we have free insurance! HAHA Braeden woke up around midnight last night about to cough off a lung. Literally. I got up to get him some medicine and Brennen seemed fine. I was in the kitchen and he walked in and I noticed his eye..All matted up and he couldn't open in. I thought oh great he has pink eye. I decided that there was nothing I could do and it didn't seem to bother him, so I just wiped it with a warm rag for a while and we all went back to sleep. We woke up this morning and his eye was worse. I got worried and went to the doctor. I'm not messing with eyes, that scares me. So we wait for 2 hours and see the doctor. He tells me that it is an eye/ear thing. That pink eye is not as bad as everyone at school always tells you and it isn't that contagious. He looked at both the boys ears. Braeden's look pretty good and Brennen's right look like it had a little infection. He then looks into his left and can't because there is so much wax. He has to clean out his ear. Ya, Brennen was screaming and I think Braeden was screaming sympathy screams with him. It looked painful. Anyways, he gave us Augmentin for Brennen. We both decided since Braeden wasn't as bad and his ears were clear that we would hold off. We have given Braeden Augmentin before and he had an allergic reaction. We did discuss the 2 other options that we can give him if it gets worse. But at this time, we are only treating Brennen since he is obviously sicker. It's weird...Braeden & Beau has always been the ones to get sick first. Now it's Brennen & I that are sick. Yuck Yuck. Oh well. I'm not too bad, just a runny nose. Let's just hope & pray that Braeden gets better w/out antibiotics with his allergy.


PS...Tomorrow is the day. We will know around noon what plane Beau gets. Check back tomorrow evening and I will be sure and post!
