Health

This post is kind of random but I will take a moment to discuss some health issues Aiden has been having lately.

Remember a few months ago when Aiden's eye was swollen shut due to mosquito bites. Well apparently this kid's blood is sugar because no matter how much spray I put on him he ends up with bites. And I can't say no to him especially when he sees the other kids outside. So needless to say there have been lots of oatmeal baths around this house.

1st time he ended up with 6 BAD bites on his legs that formed blisters and 1 on the face. So all week to keep him from scratching his blisters I had to bandage him up. Poor baby! 2nd time I put pants on him and sprayed his arms and face the best I could without choking the boy. He still ended up with 1 on his face. UGH! I am thinking of getting one of those clip-on bug repellents for him....I just wonder if Aiden will keep it on though.

All week I have been worried about his breathing because I couldn't see any improvement after his treatments. His sleeping was HORRIBLE last week. 12-3am wake ups for mommy. I was a zombie. I had a suspected it was allergies because yes I'm on week 2 of a clartin, mucinex, and sudafed cocktail with no improvement. So I take him to the doctor friday telling her my issues and how I think he's got an ear infection too. Sure enough he was developing ear infections in both ears. My awesome Doctor Mommy senses were right! :-) 2nd due to his height and weight his breathing treatment meds were incorrect. Needed to be double what he was taking.....explains that. After one treatment in the office and MUCH improvement! So over the next week we will be doing multiple treatments daily to get him back on track. Side note: I don't know if any of y'all have CIGNA, but they are the BEST insurance. 6 big boxes of albuterol and his antibotics only cost me $8. AMAZING!

On Sunday he was feeling much better, so what does mommy do?! Force him to get a haircut. hahaha I'm evil yes I know. However, he did GREAT! Better than the 1st time. Looked down for the lady and held his head straight. She even got to use the clippers around the edges too. Guess all that watching Daddy at home taught him not to be scared of them. And dont think he always gets suckers lol 1st one was during the carwash and the other was after the hair appointment.

Other things I accomplished. Purchased his bedskirt, pillows, bed rail, and mattress protector. Because the big day is FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!! So nervous. Painting will have to wait but I at least did figure out the color I want. Eddie Bauer Larkspur.

Last night was eventful. We headed up to Munford for Carlos' birthday, which Aiden LOOVED because all night he got to play with a puppy. I swear this kid is a dog maniac. So cute! He would pet him and give him hugs. Beyond precious! While we were off having fun Wes was at home during the HUGE hail storm. It looked like it was snowing. Luckily it didn't go through Munford, but we had to stay up there WAY past Aiden's bedtime so on the drive home he was OUT!

The one good thing from last night is I think Aiden has officially started to like stuffed animals. AHH! The animal loving me loves that! All morning he was carrying around his puppy animal and trying to feed it.
