15 minutes…and still waiting…

So today was my son’s pre-RUSH visit for his allergy imunotherapy. He is supposed to start that on Monday…we will see if that still happens. We got to the doctor and it was supposed to be a 15 minute visit. They were going to check his Lung capacity. He did not do good on the first one so they did it two more times. By now an hour had gone by. Then they needed to check his peak flow…another hour…then to visit with the Dr…almost another hour. So come to find out he is still wheezing pretty bad, and his cough, weather, and allergies are not helping. He does have bronchitis. He mentioned that I might go to the Dr. as well since I am coughing so much as well. So we are on 6 different medicines to help him over come this so we can go through with therapy on Monday. 2 of the medicines alter his mood and gives him bad mood swings. If he is still coughing bad we will cancel and wait another 3 weeks. I know he needs all the medicine but how can all that be good for you? I am really just trusting God to get me through the next week or two with him and his moods! Oh and No exersice what so ever and no being outside. So that could be enough to drive any mom nutso!!! He is very disappointed he will not be able to play in the game this weekend. He has two scheduled. But we are going to have him sit through it if it is not cold out.

My middle sons hand is doing so much better today. The blisters look like they could pop any time. So I will be keeping a close eye on it and trying to keep his hand as clean as 4 year olds hand can be!

While in Target waiting for his perscriptions the kids were getting really impatient. So we managed to eat all the cookie samples, and cheese samples, and some bread, and meat! I know I am not the only mom that does that to keep her kids quiet. It was lunch time after all! Once we ate them all we headed for the toy aisle to look around. And my kids confessed to me that they had no toys and they wanted and needed everything they saw. They have so many toys it is crazy. No one got any new toys today and of course I was the meanest mom ever!!! We did buy new knobs for the two little boys dresser. My middle son said very loudly,” Oh mommy these are the best knobs ever. I always wanted them!” He is sooo funny, the simplest things please him and make him happy.

Funny Chandler and Ben story:

Chandler: Ben I am going to act like you are the customer and I will carry your back pack and babies up the stairs to your hotel room. And then you ask me what happened to my hand.

Benjamin: In a husky voice, Hi sir can you carry my bags, and what happened to your hand.

Chandler: Well sir, I am a fire fighter and I burned my hand. See the blisters.

Benjamin: Oh wow, I bet your mommy was sad!

It was so funny. They were acting it all out as well. Those two boys crack me up!

Now I am off to the gym to work out and de-stress myself. The doctor appointments really wear me out. I don’t know why…they just do.
