Poor Noah still has an ear infection! We took him in first thing this morning as both Shane and I spent a mostly sleepless night with Noah waking up every hour crying. Apparently the omoxicillin was not successful in getting rid of the earache so we are starting another 10-day course of a stronger antibiotic today. It sure explains his behavior!
We hope Jonah will not regress. He woke up this morning with congestion and a runny nose. Hopefully he will snap out of it.
I go in at 2:30 to meet with my doctor to see about a new course of antibiotics as I am sick again too.
I guess the saying is true, once one family member gets sick the whole family does!
We finally threw in the towel with Junior League of the Blind today. We have been disappointed in their vision services for Jonah over the past 9 months, during which I have even switched therapists in hopes the second would be better. She was marginally better with Jonah but now she is on maternity leave and her replacement is a waste of our time. I seriously wonder how the LA office would feel if they really knew the quality of specialists they send out to work with these visually impaired kids in Kern County. I am glad I have a good relationship with the boys' early start services case manager through Kern Regional. She has been following me through this journey and today we decided to give the developmental opthometrist here in town a try. It has been a bit of a controversy because apparently this particular doctor is too quick to put kids in glasses, even when a specialist says no. Our Fresno specialist does not have the highest of opinions regarding her practice but at this point we have exhausted the other alternative. So we will trial this and see if we see more of a benefit from the vision exercises this practice will provide.
It has been beautiful weather in Bakersfield. High 60's and sunshine. We went on a nice walk on Wednesday in the park and the boys enjoyed their new Baby Jogger stroller as we walked vigorously through a mostly empty park (thus no exposure to germs!) I wanted to get out today but between doctor appointments, no sleep and Jonah's physical therapy I'm not sure we will make it. I hope this great weather stays around for a long time! I was really getting tired of the fog and grey skies!
Have a great weekend!
