Swish and Spit

Man have things been crazy around here! For starters Evan has had the Ohio Valley allergy yuckies since the golf scramble. The doctor put him on liquid z-pack (sp?) and when we got home that night I started him on his first dose and I got the medicine dispenser in his mouth and squirted and he turned and ran into the living room and began puking up the pinkish/red med all over the carpets. I was also running a temp. and Eric was still at work so I ran him into the bathroom and washed him off and ran back into the living room scrubbing the carpets (3 or 4 times with resolve and the stain in still there). I called the emergency line at the ped. office and told them what happened and they said, try again. I got him out of the tub and tried to give him the med's again and he instantly began puking and gagging. The next morning I called the ped. office and the doctor called me back and said that he thinks from being on the vent. a few times that Evan possible has a texture adversion because he gets sick so often and so easily so they called him in 10 days worth of amoxicillan. Evan has told everyone of my franticness that night, he says "Mommy ran into the bathroom and put me in the tub and said, oh shit my carpets" nothing like a 2 year old telling everyone about your moment of insanity like I cared more about my carpets than him being sick, or so everyone he has talked to thinks. So, a week ago today we finished the last dose of that. Last Tue. morning Evan woke up saying his teeth hurt and when asking him why he said that, "a snake bit him in the mouth while working on the dryer like Handy Manny." I knew that wasn't case so I dismissed it. Tue. night while brushing his teeth he cried and said his teeth hurt and when pulling out the toothbrush there was blood everywhere. Wed. morning I called the ped. office and they said he probably had thrush/yeast infection from being on amoxicillian so long so they called in another med to swish and spit every 4 hours. Do you hear me, SWISH AND SPIT EVERY 4 Hours for a 2 year old?!?! We started this Thursday and it seems to be getting a little better although he still hasn't gotten the hang of swish and spit, I figured squirting the medicine with dispenser across the gums is kinda like swish, right? He instantly spits it out and cries and gags saying, "Yucky medicine mommy." I'm supposed to call again tomorrow if it is not better, we'll see. All the while my house and my parent's house is a complete wreck because we are both having new kitchen floors put in. I don't think I know the meaning of calm or rest, it's all rush and exhausted. The floors are being finished today so hopefully things will calm down a bit but wait, The heartwalk is this Sat.!!! I'll be busy but that will be fun stuff!

Wow, you guys have been busy!! I hope that Evan feels better soon --the allergies and the thrush. His explanation about the snake bite cracks me up :) What an imagination!!!
