Ear Infection

Back to real life. A few days before flying back from the states Connor started running a fever and his green boogers came back.

He had his fever on and off for over 5 days so I knew it was time to call the doctor. I called the clinic but they are doing military exercises this week and said they didn't have any appointments available today so I had to take him to the ER. I really didn't want to because going to the ER takes so long for everything but I really felt like he needed to be seen. I'm still sick and Logan's leaving tomorrow for a week so I knew I just needed to take care of it.

When I went to check him in the guy behind the desk told me they can't really do anything for cold symptoms. Always makes me annoyed when people don't take my son's sickness seriously. Sometimes when Connor was running around happy and climbing over chairs I can see why though. 

At the ER they took his vitals measured and weighed him took his temperature then sent me off to radiology to take x-rays of his lungs to make sure didn't have pneumonia. Then the nurse listened to his lungs and his heart. Then we got to wait around for over a half hour to see the doctor.

Once he came in he listened to Connors lungs more time and lastly he checked his ears. After two seconds of looking in his right year he confirmed that Connor did have an ear infection. Is it just me or don't you think they could have checked his ears first and saved us about two hours?!

We waited around again for about another half hour to get his prescriptions. By then it was past Connor's Naptime and he was super tired! He fell asleep almost instantly when we got in the car. Right before we left the hospital Connor Peed out of his diaper and the only change of clothes I had were shorts. Usually that's just fine but today when it was about in the mid 50s and raining it was quite cold! So I had to bundle Connor up in his Blankey and I thought it was super cute how he fell asleep like this. 

Here's to hoping he starts feeling better soon!
