Shiner

Catching up...
 
Well, the month of December has been fun & full of sickness!
Well, sickness for one little boy! I was starting to wonder if he was going to ever get well. 
And many of you mommy friends can relate...it's hard on us, too! ; )
Anyhoo, first was the stomach virus...Eeek! It was awful! It was the same week that I was watching Anne while Haley was working in Atlanta. The bug hit Wednesday night and lasted until Thursday afternoon. I finally called the doctor's office and they came me in a prescription--which by the way was immediate results! PTL!!!
Next, strep throat--and then a week later strep again!
 
And here's how he got the shiner...
day 1: go to the doc--get meds--
day 2: wake up just as sick--go back to doc for recheck--meds not working, get new meds
day 2 anoon: breakdown at Ford house begins! Davis refused...refused...refused to take this new antibiotic--I threatened to call the doc & told him that if he didn't take the meds he would have to get a shot--Davis runs after me, trips & hits the bed post! ugh!!
day 2 late anoon: back to doc--shot time!
 
a week later:
Strep again!
No option by the doc--Shot it is! Followed by 10 days of antibiotics and a referral to ENT!
Davis will be having his tonsils and adenoids removed 1-25!
 
 
We were thankful for a break from school & time at home to rebuild this little boy's immune system!

Poor thing! I can relate to feeling like they're never going to get better. Removal of tonsils and adenoids with Mac made a HUGE difference.
