Well, I guess we know that fall is here: both boys have colds and that horrendous, chest deep cough. Jason woke up at 4:30 am with the cough. Xander is still sleeping but periodically coughs and yells. Sigh. And they were supposed to have their annual 'well baby' check ups today. Much as I would prefer to just cancel, the office has a policy about last minute cancellations: if we do so we will be dropped from their patient list so.... I shall take my two sick little boys in and let them cough all over everyone! Yeah, I am feeling a bit irritable, I guess. Lack of sleep and frustration with small minds are not a good combination.
The good news is that the damage to Xander's arm was temporary. (We had been playing and he started to lean/fall backwards and I grabbed him. Unfortunately I caught one wrist and all of his weight dragged on it. Poor baby. We called the doc who had us check to see if he could move it. Since he could, we iced it and fed him ibuprofen. We also had him sleep with us.) He woke up as happy as a lark and, when asked, said his arm was 'just fine!' Thank god. I spent several sleepless hours going over all the various hospitals we could take him to if we needed to do so (It being a Sunday).
So now it is a cold, grey, rainy Monday. Jason is playing legos, Xander is asleep -- though he will wake soon. And I am wishing for a weekend with sunshine and general health. Ah, for the return of summer!
