House of Sickness

Well we have had 3 sick kids and I am soooo tired. It started about 2 weeks ago when Chase had a fever and then a rash. Well it was confirmed that he had strep throat that had gone into Scarlet fever. So we got through that OK. Well on Monday the real fun began. Reef had a rash on his bottom so I made an appt. for him and a follow-up appt. for Chase. After I made the appt. Kori was running fever and screaming that her throat was hurting as well. So i thought since I was taking 2 of the 3 that they could see Kori as well. See our co-pay for Dr. visits are $20.00 a child. So it was $40.00 to see Chase and Reef. Well i get to the Dr. Chase is fine, Reef has a fungus (Yeah!!!) and when i asked the lady to look in Kori's throat she told me no, b/c she did not have an appt. Well lets just say I wasn't very happy and Kori was more irritated b/c the Dr. ignored her. ( and she let her know it). So I let it go and went and made an appt for Kori for the next morning. Well so we went home and Kori continued to have fever and couldn't eat anything b/c of her throat. That was all Monday.
Tuesday morning we go back to the Dr. (another $20.00 just in case anyone was keeping up) by now Kori has a rash all over her body as well. Kori had strep throat which had gone to scarlet fever . Of course it was another Dr. that i saw and so I went on to complain to him about the lady who refused to see my daughter. she wouldn't have scarlet fever if she was seen yesterday when i had her in. They apologized so I guess i was happy but Kori was not b/c she had to get a shot. We come home and right before bed last night Reef wakes up all stuffy and then wakes up at 1am with fever and of course I am out of Tylenol so Clint had to go to Walmart to get some. Gotta love him. About 3 we got back to sleep with no fever. Wake up Wednesday morning with fever again, and a very stuffy nose so I guess thinking that 3rd time is a charm I make another appt. ( up to 80.00 now) Go to see the Dr. (the same lady that wouldn't see Kori) and Reef thank goodness just has a cold. So in 3 days I spent about 3-4 hours in the Dr.s office ( mainly waiting in a little room which I hate) and $80.00 + Kori's antibiotics cost- to find out that Chase is fine, Kori has scarlet fever, and Reef has a fungus and a cold. Yeah!!! love sick kids.
I also came to find out that Reef is not a very good sick baby. I don't know if it is b/c i have 2 others that are sick, or b/c I never had one this young be sick before but he has been whiny all day long- wanting me to hold him. Very hard to get anything done. Anyways I will be very happy when everyone in the house is 100%. And hopefully me and Clint will not get sick from all of this. Sorry if this was a little boring- felt like i had to get all of this off of my chest. Still a little angry at the lady who refused to see Kori. She is really not my favorite person right about now. So all of you parents or future parents start saving up for Dr. visits and medicines. It is so much fun- now on to a much needed rest.
