Scott has been at his job for over 90 days and that means we have HEALTH Insurance and not just the catastrophic insurance we bought to get us through!! Well 3 measly days before the new insurance kicked in I got a phone call from the school at 2pm saying Braxton had a severe ear ache and needed to be picked up. I headed to the school and rushed him into the doctor...he screamed bloody murder the whole 30 minutes to the doctors office. They drugged him with some Advil and we waited for it to kick in before the doctor checked him out. An ear infection for sure and as they continued to check him out it was discovered he had pneumonia as well. Good thing I took him in. We started antibiotics and hopefully it will be gone when we go back to the doctor.
The next day (2 days away from insurance) we were at my mom's house and Ahna fell into the corner of the wall as she was running from the play room the to kitchen. We knew by the thud it was not going to be pretty. She split her forehead up by the hairline wide open. Between me and my mom we decided we would try to steri-strip it instead of going to the ER for stitches and traumatize her and myself. I ran to the store for steri-strips because we couldn't find the ones we had...go figure. Well we ended up steri-stripping the cut about 4 times before we finally got it to seal right and the steri strips to actually stick right. Nothing a little extra medical tape couldn't take care of!
Well we have health insurance again and I am just thankfully it was a couple of minor things that happened right before our insurance kicked in.
Makenzi had another swim meet on Friday. We got her results and ribbons tonight! She got a 3rd place in Freestyle, 4th in Backstroke and 1st in her relay. She is doing so great!! So proud of her.
The everyday life that consists of triumphs and defeats. Raising three children sure lets me see lots of these...
