When Alex was born, we called him our million dollar baby. Not because we thought he was the best baby in the world, or that he was going to make us millions, but because the expense of having and maintaining him started from the very beginning.
I had to have a C-Section with Alex because he was breech, after being on bedrest for two weeks from being pre-eclamptic. When he was born, he was born with a hydroseal. He had to have surgery when he turned one. In the meantime, he had ear infections constantly. So, that's how he became our million dollar baby.
Now, I realize we really don't have it that bad and there really are babies out there that cost a lot more and have more serious, complicated issues. However, after the last 3 weeks, I've spent over $100 in co-pays for doctor's visits. As if the migraines weren't enough....
...this is exactly where I would have rather been than back in the doctor's office at 8 o'clock this morning with Alex for strep! Yep, on top of migraines he has strep. Poor baby. He can't catch a break. More headaches and nausea.
Hopefully, this will be the end for awhile. I'm hoping the meds will kick in for both his migraines and strep and we can get back to normal. Whatever that is!

Poor guy...he was missed at basketball today, Gage had strep too! Hang in there mama...this to shall pass, and in the meantime we will all be here for you to lean on! :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously...he can't catch a break!! Hope he's feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteAww, poor guy. It will be nicer out soon and all of the constant sickness will be a thing of the past. That's the wonderful thing about summer, right?
ReplyDeleteI hope he's already starting to feel better... poor Alex!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I commented on this. I am positive I did....grrrrr. Must have done something wrong. Anyway, I am glad you have a diagonses, and hopefully everything will be better from here on out. Not knowing is always the hardest part.
