Keeghan was doing better we thought, with the omnicef, then Saturday night his temp spiked to 102 and he started in with a terrible cough again. After getting NO sleep on Saturday night I called the doctor on Sunday and they told us to try to keep him comfortable until I could get him in today.
SO this morning I got up and called to get him in right away so I could still get Kennedy to Vandy by 11 for her urology appointment. His ped wasn't in so we saw another doctor and even after a full week of omnicef his ear infection is STILL there and still really bad! UGH!! SO they gave him a shot of rocephin and we have to go back tomorrow and Wednesday for more shots. On Wednesday they will check again to make sure it's clearing up. In the meantime he's pretty miserable :(. The doctor also decided to do a CBC and just make sure his blood looked ok, so here's something I never wanted to know about my son: his WBC are 8.4 and he has 308,000 platelets. At least it came back good! LOL He is a little anemic, but it's nothing to worry about. Please pray he kicks this silly infection and feels better soon!!
SO I got home, left Keeghan with Frank, grabbed Kennedy and rushed to Vandy. Fortunately, my friend Angela had an appointment for her son Ben with the same doctor so she let them know I was running late. I got there and they didn't have a referral! UGH! So we got that worked out and got Kenn back to do an ultrasound of her kidneys which Dr. Brock said look MUCH better than last time we were there and now we don't have to go back unless she gets a UTI. YAY!
Then Angela and I were going to meet our friend Jamie for lunch so we went over to look for parking which was just not happening so I called and told her to meet me somewhere else. I was on my way when I stopped at a 4 way stop, pulled out to turn left and WHAM another car hit me! UGHHHHHH I had no idea whose fault it was or anything. Fortunately a witness came over and told me the other lady ran the stop sign. The other lady was of course not driving her own car, it was her mom's, and she didn't know where the insurance was so we exchanged numbers and she said she would call me. I was too shook up to even think about getting her license number or anything. Fortunately while I was at lunch the mother of the girl called to check on us and promised to call again after work. Thank God for honest people! My van isn't all that bad... my front passenger bumper is a mess, but Kennedy and I are both fine so that's what matters. Poor Angela ended up getting all turned around and Ben was sleeping so she took off even before lunch. It was a very stressful day! LOL
I called and canceled Kennedy's eye appointment since THAT referral wasn't in either (GRRRR) so we'll have to reschedule that for later.
SO pray that Keeghan feels better soon and he doesn't hate me for making him get 2 more shots in the next two days; pray that I can get Kennedy's appointment with the eye doctor set up again before 2009; pray for good blood work results for Kennedy at the hemonc clinic tomorrow; pray that her dentist appointment goes well on Wednesday; pray that my van gets fixed without any hassle, but mostly send up a praise and thank God for protecting us. The accident could have been so much worse!!!
I am thankful for the stressful days... it makes me greatful for the boring ones.
