Grey Hairs…

I took Peanut to the doc last week for failing his hearing test at school and for the pain in his chest he keeps talking about.
The nurse performed another hearing test and she determined his hearing is fine, just some fluid behind one ear. After the doc did her exam she concluded that Peanut needs to go see a cardiologist to determine what exactly is going on. She ruled out that it was his asthma, etc. I guess going by his description of a vibration in his chest she thinks it is possibly an arrhythmia or something along those lines. The vibration in his chest has been intermittent for the past two months so we are concerned. She mentioned aberrant pacemaker, which is a condition not a device. I have googled it but not with a whole lot of luck in finding out exactly what it is other than an abnormal heartbeat. He is thriving and gaining weight so it can’t be too serious although my imagination totally freaks me out. Like I don’t still check to see that he is breathing at least five times a night after all these years. Ugghhh…

Monday I picked him up from school as usual and all of a sudden he starts crying. His ear had been hurting him all damn day but he did not tell anybody. He went to the nurse earlier (I found out later) because he was feeling that vibration in his chest but did not mention his ear because he did not want to get any shots. Poor little guy. Of course I took him right away to the doc. He has two ear infections. Yippee. After vomiting all over himself and me I think he felt a bit better, haha. He is on antibiotics and so far they seem to be working. I wish the tubes were still in his ears! I am really hoping this cold/flu season will not be brutal. I told the doc if we end up going down the same road of trying different antibiotics and they do not work like last time, we are NOT doing the injections in the legs again. Hopefully it will not come to that. ::sigh::. He is home today again because he still has a fever. Hopefully tomorrow will be better!
