I gave in. I cried "UNCLE!" After another late night of croupy like coughing I called our local walk in clinc and we walked in.. Brandon's lungs are clear (yeah!) but he has a nasty sinus infection caused from the original virus. She could hear the rattling from his nose and throat while she was listening to his chest. She checked his ears and throat (his tonsils are enlarged too) only to discover what a real mess he is. It's strange, Brandon is very goopy but has not had a sinus headache or headache for 11 days. But she said he is a 'goopy mess'. So two hours later and a trip to Safeway to fill the three prescriptions and a quick lunch at Burger King. We are home. Now we start 10 days on the antibiotics, cough syrup and an anti- inflamatory medication, with prayer we should be seeing some results soon. The medications are supposed to help him sleep too *wink*. Which in turn will help daddy & I sleep . We have not had a lot of sleep in the last 11 days. It does not help that the cotton is being harvested in our area, or that the crop duster is active too. And the wind has been blowing from the North for 3 days. We are being assulted from all sides. Sigh.. Oh well, this too shall pass..
P.S. The clinic gave me a note so that Brandon could return to school tomorrow. I said "I'll give it to his teacher". LOL. For some reason Brandon threw the note way! *wink*
Poor little man. I am about to call it quits too,if one more person falls sick! I woke up congested in the sinus'. I am fearful that it is going to be a long winter.

Sometimes it's good to give in. I'm not there yet. :) Glad Brandon is on the mend, and you, too. Some sleep will do you good. Have a GOOD night!
ReplyDeleteHi Brandon.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you are sick and I hope you start to feel better very soon.
I love you.

Glad you have some medicine for him now. That is very hard when no one in the house is getting any sleep. And I love the note part, so funny. :)
