Throughout today Maggie and Ricks have developed a case of the sniffles. Ricks started and I was hoping it was due to no Nasonex the past couple of days or allergies. I was so not on top of his medicine that it ran out and I realized the prescription had expired. Since we see Dr. T on Friday I just decided to wait until that appointment rather than calling.
Maggie has started the sniffles and her nose running this afternoon. I am sending prayers up that it is just allergies or a fluke. She has been healthy approximately a month. One month of no headache and feeling better. I want longer than a month for all of us. And if she gets a cold and it follows its usual course we will end up with the sinus inflammation and infection. I follow that journey to the antibiotic issue and there we are back at IV's within 4 months. The anxiety is starting to send out vibes a tiny bit. Okay I will back up and stay in the moment. All we have now is small sniffles and a tiny runny nose. I will just continue to pray. I have no idea what will happen tomorrow so I won't worry about it until we get there : )
The good news is that Dr. T is back in Cleveland. We saw him and his family at the Greek Festival we went to on Sunday. He has been on vacation for 2 weeks. It is always a bit unnerving to me when he is gone. I just feel safer and less stressed knowing he is only a phone call away. I may have to wait until morning or fight our way in for an appointment but he is in his office. It is crazy that Dr. T not being available can be a bit stressful but I am not the only Mom who feels this way. I spoke with another Dr. T patient Mom and she goes through the same emotion. I think it is because he is the captain of our ship. Our family relies on him and we trust him. Our kids feel a connection with him and believe he will do all he can to help them feel better. He is not just our doctor but a part of our family in a strange kind of way. Dr T is the go to guy! And thank you God, if the kids sniffles transition to colds and infections, that he is back in town.
