You've GOT to be kidding me??!!

M has had a nasty cough this week.  Whenever he gets a cough it triggers his Asthma.  I have a hard time distinguishing his congested breathing with wheezing, so we headed to the doctor to get him checked out.  The doc said he sounded good, no wheezing, but wanted to get rid of the cough before it turns into something else.  So M has been put on a short (4 days) course of steroids and an antibiotic.  He has been on all of these meds before, and they always help him feel better pretty quickly.  But the steroids have turned him into a CRAZY man this time around!  He is running in circles, hitting his friends, and just plain being crazy!!!  It will only be 4 days, but OMG he is crazy!  I feel sorry for his Mom's Day Out teachers tomorrow (I have to be at school or I would keep him home).

I gave the kids baths tonight and while I was brushing K's hair M comes running to me with one of K's hair clips in his mouth!  Now he is not a kid who put stuff in his mouth but he is not himself today.  So I took it out of his mouth, but then I remembered that there were two clips sitting next to each other on the counter.....the other one is now missing!  You've GOT to be kidding me!!!!  I ask him where the other clip is and he couldn't tell me, I've looked on the floor and can't find it, so I must assume that he swallowed it.  Here is the clip.

It's tiny, less than 1/2 an inch.  But it does have a little metel in it and two sharp spikes if it were to come apart.  So I called a friend who is a doctor and also showed the clip to another doctor friend who happened to be a church tonight.  Both said it should "pass" just fine and if I haven't found it in 3-4 days to have him x-rayed to be sure.  So I guess I get the motherhood joy of checking poop for the next few days!  You gotta love motherhood!

3 days till N gets home!  So he may get some of the poop checking joy!  ;)
