YEAH!

January is over!

We had a hard month, and spent a lot of time (and $money) at the doctor.
1. Bethany had an appointment with the Glaucoma specialist (down to SL we go!)
2. 30 minutes after arriving home from that appointment I was taking JJ to the insta-care for stitches (x2) in his head. He'd fallen into my nightstand.
3. 7 days later a nurse visit to remove the above mentioned stitches.
4. Duke turned 6 mo. so off to a well child visit (to make him sick, right? every time ;))
After the 5 shots he had for vaccinations and flu we were done!
5. Duke returns to the doctor because of another ear infection - more antibiotics! and flu shots part 2 because he is little.
6. Jayme fell down the stairs with Duke in his arms, thankfully only Jayme's big toe suffered damage. But again off to the insta-care for x-rays, etc. and some new medications for Gout! and pain!
7. I MADE EVERYONE (except Jayme, he refuses) get the H1N1 Flu Shot!
8. Then I fell down the stairs (what is it with us!) After sleeping on it and not being able to walk on it in the morning, I was headed to the insta-care for x-rays and the 'boot' for my sprained ankle/foot. And after a little drug seeking I was given something for the pain!
9. 3 days later I was back at the doctor for my follow-up and a little more drug seeking ;) Only to discover I now had strep throat. I opted for the antibiotic shot and felt significantly better the next day.
10. Bethany had her appointment with the Iritis specialist. Good news: her eye inflammation is quiet and her pressures are down! Bad news: continue with medications as they are. Bethany was really hoping to get to be done with her weekly injections. (this one actually happened Feb. 1 but who's counting!)
