It's been a long week - Ethen was cleared for general population and started at the daycare on base here Thursday morning - he seemed to really like it up til about 2:30 when they called for me to go get him cause he was 101... ARGGGGGGGGG he's been spiking up to 103 and I have been giving him motrin/tylenol to keep the fever down all weekend... Looks like HOPEFULLY just a nasty head cold... I took him for follow up blood work Friday afternoon.. While I was there I also had the older boys done as I have been holding scripts for some routine blood work since their physicals in Sept... Mom and I took them over and I took them into the lab one at a time starting with Dilen who I knew would be my hardest customer... Sure enough once he found out what was going on he started to verbally protest and gave a little struggle while I held him on my lap but we got the blood drawn fairly quickly.... Took him out to the van and brought in Deven - I was worried he would put up a fight too cause when he was about 2 he gave major fight over some blood work but he didn't make a peep - was very calm and cooperative.. I was SOOOOO proud of him... Then it was Ethen turn - he fussed a bit but seeing how he was sitting up this time on my lap he put up less fight then he did in hospital where he was laying down... So it took about 40 min including all the paperwork and we were done and on our way... I stopped at KFC to treat the boys as a reward because I hadn't told them a single thing til we were going in to the room - sneaky but the best way to deal with with my boys... Today the older ones are with Daddy and Ethen is home resting w/my mom... I'll be leaving work in about 30-60 min to enjoy a quiet evening home with mom and the little guy.... Til next time...
