What a weekend!

This is the first weekend of four that I am to be without spousal support. :) Friday started out good, got finished with work and picked up the kids to have a nice evening. Nothing fancy we ate dinner and watched the netflix movies that came in the mail.

Saturday I went in to work with the three big kids while mom, dad, and Alexander went puppy shopping. They found a golden retriever and named him George. He is a very good natured dog, I will post a picture later. He wouldn't sit still so that I could get a good one. It's either a blur or a tail...

Sunday we went back to mom's house to get in some pool time. Alexander loved sitting in the "little pool" and playing with his little people and blocks. Everything ws going well until after dinner. Alexander was playing in the living room when he just started to scream. Screaming that would hurt a dog's ears it was so high pitched. He cried so much he started to throw up, and then hyperventilate. He couldn't catch a breath once the crying was over. It was like he was panting. I tried not to panic, but it wasn't letting up. I took him to prima care, which was closed, and then to the ER. I am checking in a baby that I say is not able to breathe and crying uncontrollably. The lady at the counter sees a baby happy, smiling, and chewing on his thumb. We get back to the triage section and the nurse takes his temperature and it is 103!! The doctor listens to his lungs, which are fine, and then checks his ears. One ear is cleared up and the other is close to the rupturing point. We went home with a RX for a second round of antibiotics and directions for giving ibuprofen instead of tyenol. He had a dose of tylenol before we went on this outing sand it didn't touch the fever, so we have to try this instead. The doc said that it is a better anti inflammatory drug and should relieve some of the pressure on his ear. By the time we got out of there it was close to midnight and I was super tired. He couldn't go to daycare since he had fever, so we chilled out at the house all day today! It was nice to be able to spend some time with just him. We took a nap and watched part of a movie. I think he liked the uninterrupted mommy time. I know I needed it.
