I know to expect a little chaos with 3 kids, but I don't think I realized we'd be visiting the doctor multiple times a week with said 3 kids. Goodness, soon we'll have our own dedicated wing at the doctor's office.
Thursday Jackson started complaining that his foot hurt. I looked at it, didn't see anything and pretty much told him to walk it off. Friday morning he woke up limping. By Friday midday preschool called and said he was refusing to walk on his foot. So, into the pediatrician's office. It had been a whole 3 days since we saw him last! After the exam (and ruling out strep- which can cause joint pain), we had x-rays done at almost 4p on a Friday. I assumed there wasn't anything there, but we want to rule it out. Then, in the middle of the night, Jackson spiked a fever. This morning, 10 minutes after I posted this originally, our pediatrician called. For some reason, the x-ray wasn't read by radiology, but from his basic review he didn't see anything unusual. The fever and the foot pain may be unrelated or it might be something more complicated. If Jackson continues to run a fever, we'll take him back in to the doctor. Until then, it is just wait and see. Poor little Jackson!
While we were in the pediatrician's office, the doctor listened to Matthew, who is still wheezing and still has fluid in his lungs. Matthew doesn't seem to be getting worse, but doesn't seem to be getting better. The doctor indicated it may take a week for this to go away. In the meantime, Matthew is very fatigued and sleeps a lot. Poor baby Matthew!
We are hopeful health will return to our little Hoy boys soon!
