The Post Where I Tell You How Much My Son Dislikes Going To The Doctor & Tries to Convince Me To Take His Brother Instead


* * * * *

Cough, cough, cough, wheeze & repeat.
All day & all night.
Joseph is really having a tough time of it right now.
The doctor hasn't said "asthma" yet, but. . .

We are going in to see our favorite pediatrician today.
I told Joseph at 7:00 that we are going.

He said "Dr. H is going to see Benjamin."
I said, "No, today he is seeing Joseph."
Joseph, "No, Benjamin!"
Mommy, "No, sweety, today it's you."
Quivery lip & total melt down!  {sad face}

It is going to be a LONG 2 hours until our appointment!!!


UPDATE:  Well after all those tears this morning, Joseph was so brave at the office.  Hardly any crying, although he did cuddle close to me.   I told him I was "so very proud of him."
Because I know the grandma(s) will wonder, he was diagnosed with allergies/cold? leading to a sinus infection and "reactive airways" (whatever that means?).   A trip to the pharmacy and we are home with:  Claritin, an antibiotic, and steroids.   Hope these do the trick!


Joseph with his Daddy, much happier than he is at this moment!

Aw, poor kid. May his appointment be filled with many sweet nurses and no needles and possibly a lollipop or two. :)
