Community Care!!!

This has been one of those insane months so far. Especially in the last week. Its just been one cold and flu after another. Over the weekend I got my share and stayed home Monday and Tuesday. Also on Tuesday I took Jack to the doc thinking he mady have an ear infection. But all was clear. They did however tell me he had strep throat. But his throat was clear and his blood test came back ok. They gave me a prescription but after a while he seemed ok and the tylenol was working. Today at daycare my sister called to say he really wasnt feeling good and had a fever. So I ended up going to Walmart and getting the antibiotics. I got home with the boys just after six, got dinner in the oven and fed Hank. But I could hear Jack crying, so I went to check on him and he was running at me just screaming. Noticing his pale white cheeks and swollen ears I called Jason to see were he was. Not really knowing what to do I called my neighbors. As they walked in the door and took one look at Jack they said get him Community Care or the ER. They took the diaper bag and Hank, I put Jack in the car and called Jason to tell him where to go. Just as we got there my mother in law just happened to be there too. It was crazy, We sat at the doc for almost two hours. Had I waiting much longer Jack would have started having trouble breathing and things could have been worse. He has been on antibiotics before but they said sometimes it takes the tenth time to find the reaction. My poor son still has a fever and looks as though I baked him in a tanning bed but he is doing much better. I am so thankful to such wonderful neighbors who we love and trust.
