No More Doctor Visits - Please!

Do you ever feel like you live at the Doctor? I was just there last Friday for a follow up from a visit the week before and today, I made two more trips, I seem to be living at one Doctor or another this Month. I am sure many Mom's can relate.

Poor Caleb started the day with some splotchy places on his tummy and his back. I was hoping it was my imagination.

Caleb had a morning apt. already scheduled with his ENT, so when we saw the good Doctor, I showed him Caleb's spots. He didn't seem to think I should worry, but said his PCP would be a better resource. We then headed to Wal-Mart for some shopping and to get Caleb some Benedryl. I was hoping the spots would just go away.

Well, by the time we picked up Clay from school, the spots had not disappeared, they had spread, and Caleb was scratching. I felt bad for him. So, I called the Doctor, and back we went for our second visit of the day.

I guess one good thing that came out of our unplanned apt., it that when I got there, I learned that I had actually scheduled a check up for Clay at the exact time that I arrived at the apt. for Caleb. I had written down the wrong day for Clay's apt., so I would have missed it if we hadn't gone in for Caleb. Isn't that crazy. I am so glad I had Clay with me when I took Caleb in to the Doctor's office! It is such a bummer when you get your dates mixed up. Sometimes I wonder where my brain went.

Well, my little Angel boy Caleb has Hives!! Yikes. He is itching up a storm. I am praying it is just heat related and not a negative reaction to his antibiotic. He had to come off the antibiotic, so hopefully, he will stay well. Please say a little prayer for him, I really don't want to go back to the Doctor.

Regardless of how many trips I make to the Doctor, I am thankful for people that I can take my boys too when they need help. I very much appreciate the medical profession and I would be lost without them. Many thanks to all you great Doctors out there. I am also very thankful, that my boys have not had anything that the Doctor's can't handle. I feel very blessed and grateful.

Here is hoping that the next time I am at the Doctor, I don't have to see any of you there :)

Sorry for the not so uplifting post. Sometimes, you just have to write what is on your mind.

Take care!
