What a Day!!!

After a crazy morning at work, I left at 12:30 to meet Mike and Chase at Comp Rehab to see how his leg was healing. He giggled so hard when the tech sawed off the cast... then off to x-ray we went before we saw the doctor. Finally - we got the news we were waiting for... it looks great! We did find out that Chase has yet another strange medical anomaly... he has an extra bone on the back of his foot above his heel... they said it's a congenital thing!

Anyhow - Chase has been upgraded to an air-cast. But, Comp Rehab was OUT of them!!! They tracked one down at Bio-Tech across town. As we were getting ready to go that way - Devin started texting us to come get him at school, he was sick. So - I went with Chase and Mike went to get Devin. Devin then texted me again saying he was non-stop coughing and had a hard time catching his breath. I then scheduled doctor's appointment number 2!

Off to Biotech I went with Chase, got his air-cast, then ran home to get Devin while Mike handled Paige's parent-teacher conference. By the time we got to the doctor's office, Devin was in tears with back pain that had come in fairly suddenly - and the more he coughed the worse it got! They immediately put a mask on him thinking he had the flu and then took us to a room.

Once in the room it was clear he was hurting bad! The doctor came in and checked everything from lungs to kidneys! Poor kid had quite the look over and the lay down, get up, sit up, lay back down... which had him at above an 8 out of 10 in pain! No longer was he amused with ANYTHING!

In the end - they said he's got a good case of asthmatic bronchitis and they aren't sure what's causing the back pain. He's on inhalers, medicines, and anti-inflammatories to help. So far - the back pain is better, but the inhalers and meds aren't touching the cough. Been a long time since we've seen him like this!

So, let's back up to Paige's conference that Mike went to. Said her behavior is "improving". Mrs. Williams told Mike she's not sure if Paige is just finally getting acclamated to her, or if she's just now getting acclamated to Paige, but they're on the right path now! She did say Paige is quite strong-willed (not MY duaghter!), but she's also quite smart!

Mike's at work now, and I'm finally home eating my box of chocolates! I think I deserve that... don't you?!?
