She tried to call us last night (left a message on our machine) and then called us early this morning. Let me say that our pediatrician NEVER calls us like this! Never! I knew something was up. Trust me when I say I was praying it wasn't something bad. Finally, after playing a little phone tag, we hooked up and she told us that Matthew has a "parasite" living in his intestines! OH WONDERFUL! *insert scream here* (I'm trying to find some sort of laugh here, but really NOT finding one.)
We were told to get up to our pharmacist immediately and retrieve the medicine for Matthew and start it ASAP! Needless to say, we dropped our working outside and raking and laying mulch down, got cleaned up a little and went to our neighborhood Giant! This medicine Matthew has is potent! Stinks like crazy, is flavored like GRAPE (which Matthew sees through and doesn't like to take), and has a metallic taste to it! For a little 2 1/2 year old, don't you think it's enough already?!? The shots, the probing in the mouth, the meds, the testing, etc. Poor guy. I totally feel for my little boy! And now there is a little "bug" living in him?!
Only Daddy and myself (Mommy) can clean or change Matthew and yes, there are steps to take in order that WE may not get infected with this parasite. NO sharing of cups, no sharing of bath water, etc. Wow............can we say mommy has to disinfect THE WHOLE BATHROOM and where we change Matthew?! Oh Lord, please let this TOO pass! Literally!!!!
In retro? Our family is still going strong. Matthew doesn't like pepperoni's too much, or now? Grape or the metallic taste, not sure. He has a bug, but life still goes on!!!!
PS, the welcome home party from our church was today. It was nice. The kids went nuts, lots of food, lots of friendly faces........ONE BIG WHEEL FOR MATTHEW! I don't know if anyone had a picture of his face, but let's just say it was HUGE EYES!!!!
