well it's been a long few weeks around the martyn household. first i got a cold, then kingston got a cold, and them cameron got the cold too. it's been non-stop for a few weeks and it's absolutely exhausting! kingston's dragged on for a while and finally after having a fever for a day and a half i decided i would take him to emergency. i called the bc healthlink hotline (what a godsend that line is sometimes) and they recommended i take him in immediately...so i listened.
after waiting a good 3 hours, the doctor finally was able to check the poor little dude out. he checked his ears and right away knew he had two nasty ear infections. to be cautious he decided to get some bloodwork done and also sent him for a chest x-ray to rule out pnemonia. all i was thinking was how bad i felt for my poor tired little baby who now was going to be poked in the arm with a needle and then sent for an x-ray.
those that know kingston know that he's such a charmer. he constantly flirts, he smiles all the time, giggles, and is just a silly little boy. the nurses absolutely loved him and thought he was just so cute (obviously...right?). the lady came to take his blood so dada got to hold his head and distract him and i held his arm in place. she put the elastic band around his bicep and was preparing for the big scream...but nothing. no scream at all. what did we hear instead? the sweet sound of a very ticklish boy giggling!! yes, my tough little charmer giggled the whole way through getting his blood taken. what a relief.
anyways, we're on day 3 now of the antibiotics and things are hopefully looking better. his ears are improving but he's still got a wicked smokers-cough and has a few characteristics of the flu (yuck). i'm keeping my fingers crossed for a healthy baby soon...PLEASE!
the only thing i'm happy about is that we're getting this all over and done with before christmas arrives...which is in a mere 9 days for our family's first day of christmas celebrations!
