So the boys have  been sick this week. Levi is on the mend and is just left with a runny nose.

Jesse on the other hand has been getting worse as the week has gone on.  His Fever has gotten a tad higher each day.  So today when i spiked to 103, I decided it was time to call the doctor and get in. I love my Doctor they run their own urgent care, so you can get in same day, and I don't have to pay for the Higher copay of an urgent care.

Any way.  I make Jesse take some ibuprofen because the temp was so high. He usually avoids taking any meds.
So we are talking a 1 to 1.5 hours drive, My doctor is in the Big City, we live in a suburb. Oh and it is rush hour no less. JOY JOY.

We get there in one peace WOOHOOO no fender bender. This is Construction season in Oregon. Every one has to be first at the lane merge.

We get there about 20 minutes early another WOOOHOOOO.   By the time they see us his temp is NORMAL! yep doesn't it always happen that way?? Your kid is sicker then a dog and you take them in and POOF all better! It still happens even when they are teens!

So they do a strep test just to be 100% sure it is not even thought the Doctor is pretty sure it is not. So Basically we drove for over an hour, and spent $20 to tell me he has a virus LOL I knew that! LOL But I rather waste the time and money to be sure then it develop in to something worse.  I would not have worried if it has not been 5 days already and the temp kept going up.


Rant On!

So we are on our way home and I see this little car in the next lane to us with a lady smoking. No big deal right. Then I notice a child in the back seat, I get PISSED.  I use to smoke and hubby still smokes. We never smoked in the house or the car. I'm ranting and raving to David about this lady smoking in her car with a kid in it.  Then we pull up enough I can see down in to the car and there is an infant in the car, very young infant. Now I'm really upset. I so wanted to get out of my truck and go yell at her! You know it is one thing when the public didn't know how harmful smoking is but with all the info out there, there is NO excuse to smoke in a car with children in it! I have heard in some state they can charge you with child abuse! As much as I hate government getting involved with parenting and our lives in general this is on law I could agree with 100% It is child abuse plain and simple. 


OK I'm stepping off my soap box now! but it really pisses me off!
