After Tank's second ear infection a couple of weeks ago, we have not gotten away from the illnesses. Evie got a fever of 101 Sunday night so didn't go to school on Monday. It was still 99.5 on Monday morning. She was wheezing and had some nasty nasal congestion, too, so we went to the doctor. Of course by the time we got there at 11, she was bouncing off the walls and had no fever at all. They did say she was wheezing and to give the inhaler every 4-6 hours rather than as needed. She spiked another fever of 102 after her nap, so had to stay out from school again on Tuesday.
Tuesday morning we went back to the doctor to recheck Tank's ears from the previous ear infections; all was clear. I had to take Evie to that appointment as well since she couldn't go to school.
Today both kids ended up with goopy eyes, so off to the doctor again we went this afternoon... for the third time in three days! Diagnosis: pinkeye. I dropped off the prescriptions to the pharmacy as soon as we left and was told they were running 2 1/2 hours!!! So I could pick it up at 5:30. 5:40 we arrive and they said the drops for Tank were ready but they were still working on Evie's and would page when it was done. Then we got called up to the desk to be told that they don't have that in stock. I surely did semi-flip out on them and tell them I wished I would have known that THREE hours ago, and that they better find somewhere that had it! So we trudged to the next pharmacy, with Tank screaming his head off for about half the way until he fell asleep, because it was getting close to his bedtime by this point. We got to the next pharmacy and they had put a rush on the medicine but we still had to wait about 15 minutes in the parking lot.
Happy Thanksgiving to us! I would like to NOT spend the next two days in the doctors' office!
