Someone is Sick

Anthony has been sick for last couple of weeks and now it has finally come to a head... It started Wednesday, when I had to go and pick him up from school. Poor kid, he was stuck in the nurse's office with a nose bleed. When I arrived the nurse said they were unable to stop the nose bleed and he wanted to go home.
So he ended up spending his day on the couch. I'm sure he thought he was going to kick back and watch tv but I had other plans for him rest!!! I was going to have to put an end to his coughing.
So I sent him to bed and checked on him periodically to make he wasn't up and about.
Thursday morning came around and he still wasn't doing so well, I made him stay home once again. I ended up with a partial day off as the power went out. (lucky me) It wasn't a true day off as I ended up going to Kaiser and that was working in itself. The urgent care was packed. The only thing they could do was triage him and told me to bring him back at about 5:15. Wow... I've never seen that happen before. That's like trying to make an appointment for the emergency room. Healthcare in America... Don't get me started!!!
Anyway, I returned at about 5:00 and it took about another 30 mins to be seen by a doctor. Oh, while this was all happening, he was on his third nose bleed for the day. Yuck!!! They took xrays and come to find out he has a sinus infection... I had no clue... As for the nose bleeds they said that we would need to go to Kaiser in Panorama City to see the ENT doctor...
This brings me to Friday. He and I spent the whole morning together. After dropping the girls off at school we had another hour to kill so decided to do a little window shopping... (Target) Anthony took off and went to the electronic section and I the scrapbooking section. We ended up meeting at the checkout stand...
From there we headed over to Kaiser and they took us right in... (Yeah) No waiting . Anyway, The doctor came in and examed Anthony. Stated that their was nothing to worry about... Isn't that what they all say? I'm starting to think that their is really no need for doctors these days. To make a long story short they ended up cortorizing his nose, poor kid. He took it like a trooper, kept thinking I was going to see his legs fly all over the place because of the pain but he handled it. He's no baby anymore... Of course, he 'll always be my baby boy....
It was great just hanging out with him. I was so happy about hanging out with him that I started to get depressed that our time together was going to end. We're in the same house but don't spend as much time as we use to since he turned the big 13. I hate these teenage years...

Well, we will definately have to spend some one on one time together...
