Sick!

For the third time in the last two weeks, I found myself contending with a sick kiddo. His fever of last week is a memory, but it now has been followed up by a rather "lovely" cough, for which we went to the DR today. He is approaching an ear infection (the meds are on hold for us if necessary), and we are now working with our ped and with a pulmonologist (on the 23rd) to develop some preventative measures for his habitual developing of a cough every time he gets a cold. I sometimes feel like a bit of a ninny when I balk at my friends wanting to take some fun field trips with the kids, but I am on a first-name basis with all six doctors at the ped (Grayson even knows the names of two of them), along with the nurses, and are ready to be able to be at daycare for more than 4-5 week stretches at a time. All in all, though, I count my blessings with our little boy - we could have to contend with dozens of other issues because of how premature he was, and we are lucky to have a child as developmentally sound as he is. I just can't wait till I have the ability to take a day off on my own wishes...:)
