Unplanned Medical Appointments

Yesterday Ian started to have a lot of white discharge out of his right eye. I called the pediatrician's office, and they said I should bring Ian in this morning. His eye was clear from the time he woke up until his first nap, so I called and cancelled the appointment. After his first nap it started oozing again, and it got worse and worse as the day went on and spread to the other eye. I called the doctor's office back, and I was given a 3:20 appointment.

After making that call, my dad called to tell me that my brother had been in a car accident. My dad was on his way to the hospital. My mom, who is in Chicago visiting my sister, called me with an update while I was at the Pediatrician's office, but I didn't answer because they don't like you to use your cell phone there. I called back after I left the office and was relieved to find out that the scan didn't reveal any internal problems. What a relief!

The Pediatrician said Ian has an infection. He said normally it starts as an ear infection or strep throat before moving to the eyes. I picked up his Amoxicillin on the way home. Nadia had it before, and she thought it tasted GREAT. Ian doesn't like to consume anything other than milk. It was all being ejected so I ended up mixing it in a bottle. Of course some still came up later when he chucked, but there's nothing I can do about that.  Ian also has a really runny nose and a little cough. Paul and I have runny noses, sore throats, fevers, etc. Nadia is feeling back to normal. Please pray that all four of us will be healthy soon!

Tomorrow I am teaching my class in a synchronous fashion from 8-10am and 5-7pm plus I'll have office hours from 10-11am and 7-8pm. It's the only day that will be like that during this session. Beth is coming over to babysit from 8-10, and Paul will be home by 5pm as I can't teach via my laptop and watch the kids at the same time. I've never taught with Wimba before. I hope it goes smoothly!
