Are you Kidding Me?

This poor kid of ours cannot stay healthy. On Friday night he finished his last dose of medicine for his ear infection. Then Saturday morning he woke up with a suspiciously closed eye. This continued to happen the next few days so I took him to the doctor yesterday. Of course he has pink eye. AGAIN. It's so frustrating that he keeps getting sick. I just want him to feel good for one week. It's especially frustrating because we take him to the eye specialist on Friday. We were hoping to be able to schedule his surgery...we want to get it in before the end of the year since we've met our $4500 deductible and don't want to have to start over again in January. Let me tell you, we are getting the most out of our insurance this year. It's great to spend $23,000 on the birth of your child in January therefore meeting your deductible and having eleven months of free medical coverage. Drew and I are really using this to the fullest going to all sorts of doctors appointments and trying to solve all of our medical issues. Also happening last week Drew started walking with his toes pointed in. This was a problem I had at his age and had to wear some annoying brace. While at my foot specialist on Monday, (I have a broken bone that won't heal) I asked him about Drew's walking problem. He checked him out and found that some muscle in his hip is too tight. At least that's what I think he said. Anyway, he showed us some stretches to do with him to try and get it better. Hopefully the new year will bring better health to our family.
