I finally decided it was a reasonable idea to take all three of the kids to an allergist, after the pediatrician recommended it.... a few times. Bubba, particularly, was having so many sinus issues I was hoping to figure out if there was something that could be done to prevent his infections. AFter a few visits and blood work it was time for the kids to be tested in the office. I took them all in and they took care of all three of them at the same time. Since Bubba was eleven, they did a more extensive allergy panel. Thankfully none of the kids had any extreme allergy that required shots. Great news!
That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
