Our Son, Vinnie

    Poor Vinnie has a double ear infection. Brian took him to the doctor's office yesterday afternoon. We knew one ear was infected as it was draining, but we were surprised to learn it was two.

    Thank goodness for the tubes as he isn't in any discomfort.

    To top all of this off, Brian dropped Vinnie off at daycare this morning and the daycare worker thinks that Vinnie has oral thrush (yeast). It has been going around the daycare center for several weeks now.

    I called Vinnie's doctor as I was concerned about him starting an antibiotic when he may have oral thrush. They ended up calling in a prescription for him to treat the thrush. Hopefully we can clear it up and get this boy healthy again.

    Vinnie went to the doctor's office today. He's been sick for awhile, was still irritable today and developed a rash yesterday afternoon so we decided to take him in.

    Basically the doctor said that the rash was due to the virus and wasn't contagious. He ears and lungs sounded good. She said that it is possible that he had H1N1 and has fought it off. Either way, he is through whatever he had and is cleared to go back to daycare as he hasn't had a fever in 24 hours.

    So, we've got one of us healthy. Now to work on me and hope that Emily's sore neck turns out to be nothing.

    The good news: Vinnie has learned a new word.

    The bad news: Vinnie has learned a new word.

    The new word? MINE!

    It feels like we are constantly in that scene from Nemo with the sea gulls. Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!

    Not only can Vinnie say it, he knows what it means and when to say it. This morning he wanted a pack of muffins opened so he stood at my feet repeating "Mine, mine, mine, mine!" over and over again while I tried to open those suckers at top speed!

    And then tonight we witnessed it when he dropped some food on the ground. Vinnie thought for sure that Lucy should heed his "mine, mine, mine, mine" cries and stop eating the food and was quite upset when it didn't happen.

    So, yeah ... this was cute for about 30 seconds.
