So I just reset the ER counter. The boys and I have been stuck in the house for the last 3 days because first Jack was sick and Callen woke up sick this morning and had a terrible cough. As soon as my husband got home from work this afternoon, I went out for a bit just to get away. I went to Toys R Us to check out some sales and while there, Callen’s fever spiked and my husband couldn’t get it to go down. So off to the ER they went…it looks like he has an ear infection. Blanton and Callen are still there waiting to get results from the chest x-rays. The good news is that his fever came down and it looks they’ll be home soon. It’s almost always me taking the boys to the ER because until just recently, Blanton was always working so many hours. On my way home from Toys R Us, I stopped by the hospital to get Jack. Callen was a wreck and just wanted me to hold him. Blanton clearly had the situation under control but it was hard to see him so upset and hurting. As soon as he gets home, I’m going to cuddle with him until he falls asleep on me. I think I need it as much as he does.
On a positive note, I think that was the longest stretch we have had without an ER visit. We went the WHOLE summer without even one stitch in someone's head. 210 days ER-free...not too bad!
