We just had a lovely little fall break, and the kids went to visit their dad for the 3 day weekend.
Austin came back with red scratchy bumps from head to toe. I immediately took him to the doctor that evening. It turns out, these are either flea bites or bed bugs. The doctor said it’s impossible to tell the difference, so I am really hoping they are just flea bites. The strange thing is, that both boys shared a bed at their dad’s, and only Austin has the bites. Their dad has a dog, which had been recently treated for fleas too. Mystery… Austin still struggles on a daily basis with school work.. doing it in class is just so challenging for him. I don’t get it. We are working through this with his teacher daily. Thank goodness for April. she’s a Godsend in our lives.
Autumn had shots on Monday, and she’s now having an allergic reaction to the shot in her right arm. According to the nurse, it’s the Meningitis shot that is giving her this reaction, which is not typical. It’s normally the Tdap shot that causes redness and swelling. We are keeping a close eye on it, and will be consulting the doctor again, if it persists.. sigh..
Allie tested high for depression at her doctor visit on Monday. There is a 3 year wait list to see a psychiatrist in NWA. Unbelievable! Her doctor is recommending one in Fayetteville, which is about 30 minutes from where we live. nice… we will see how quickly we can get in there, and work out a schedule after school… yeah..
Adam seems to be the only one doing ok.. nothing reportable on him. He’s still struggling with some emotional breakdowns, but overall, pretty good.
I am hanging on by a thread most days. I don’t even know why. Things are going ok.
Busy week in our house.. no power, but we have a generator, doctor appointments, meetings for ONSC for Autumn, and then Allie parent teacher conferences. no karate this week..
back to normal, hopefully next week??
