I don't know the exact day when Wyatt started being sick but I know it is more than 20 days ago because he has been on two different antibiotics for 10 days and is going for his recheck today which will turn into a sick visit because Friday night he started the same symptoms all over again...runny nose, congestion and now eye drainage. Each time he has had an ear and eye infection in different ears/eyes (right the first time then the left). I am not a doctor but I am getting pretty good at this and my prediction is an ear infection in his right ear. He is a trooper for the most part and hasn't fussed too much but we can tell he doesn't feel great.
UPDATE
Wyatt's visit with the doctor was good. He does not have an ear infection, he does not have RSV, he does not have a fever (but would like some more cow bell) but he is congested and does home some wheezing. He got a breathing treatment (that LA administered (holding a mask on his face) which is basically a torture treatment that lasts for about 10-15 minutes - try keeping a mask on an eight month old for that long...it was easier than when LA did it with Aubrey but still not a fun task. I am sure there are worse things but this is one that is not fun. He goes back to the doctor tomorrow in the am for a checkup to make sure we are going in the right direction with the breathing treatments.
To summarize...I was wrong about him still having the ear infection...which the dr at first thought was a possibility based on his symptoms. The antibiotic did work. He is just super congested. We caught it early. This could be a long winter.
PS - everyone and their brother and sister is at the fair tonight...holly cow the traffic in and around the Ladson area. What a great scheduling idea to bring in a few extra bucks...have a school holiday during the two weeks of the fair.
Work - Installing Radios
*I am not installing shape (actually, I am not in any kind of shape) too much office work, too much sitting on my backside - two days of installing radios in school buses and I am sore...anybody want some fun side work and a chance to relive your days riding the bus to school - the fights, the assigned seats, pencil wars
*Oldest bus seen thus far 1988/22 years old with who knows how many miles
Halloween 2010
*Aubrey and Wyatt were Scarecrows
*My streak of never having a trick or treater was continued last night. Never had one growing up and never had one since. We ended my mom and dad's 35 year streak of never having a trick or treater last year when we took Aubrey to their house. We might have cheated this year because we didn't turn on the front porch light when we got back home from trick or treating with Aubrey. Good thing we didn't have a trick or treater because we would have had to give them some of Aubrey's candy and I am not sure she would have liked that very much.
*Downtown Summerville trick or treating is different than a neighborhood trick or treating
*The first street we went down had a few houses with porch lights on but no one else was trick or treating and we couldn't tell if they were taking trick or treaters - told you downtown trick or treating is different
*We needed a golf cart...we did way to much walking for someone as lazy as I am - I am out of trick or treating shape (but looking forward to "helping" Aubrey eat all her candy)
*Or I am going to drive Aubrey to Legend Oaks and let her hit the mother load of candy. It's what I did growing up - go to a friends house in a neighborhood.
*It only took one house for Aubrey to figure the process out - then it was "I want go to this house"
*She was only scared one time when the families two dogs ran to the glass door.
*One house put out treats on their brick fence - trusting in the honor system (pretty sure if they would have put candy or chocolate, it wouldn't have worked but it worked for pretzels which I thought was a good idea instead of candy or chocolate)
*LA and I ended up carrying Aubrey home so we could power walk to get her home, feed her dinner and get her to bed...why is it that I am I right handed but can not carry Aubrey for any length of time in my right hand but can hold her three times as long in my left...weird, I would have thought my dominate arm would be the stronger (remember, I am not exactly getting ready to enter an arm wrestling contest or strongest man contest tomorrow or any day). Anybody got an explanation for that?
*So some teenage jackarse kids hit my car with a pumpkin last night. Just in case you were wondering a pumpkin is a little heaver than an egg and did more damage. Evidently, they were not strong enough to throw it high enough to hit a window but were able to hit the passenger door. No further comment, in case I some how stumble upon who did it and pummel them with eggs and pumpkins.
Wyatt
*Is a crawling machine. He is also just starting to pull up on things. Last night he wanted my cup and watched it and watched it and tried to crawl over my thighs but couldn't do it so he went down to my ankles (he could have just went around my legs but he's not quite that smart yet) and eventually made it across and then to my cup (which I promptly moved to other side...not real sure he was real happy about that but he found something else to play with and forgot about the cup
*He is also sitting up.
*We have got to get some video or he is going to have a complex when he grows up or we are constantly going to be saying the video recorder was broke
Clemson Football
*I'm still "All In" but today I am a realist
*We are not a good football team (Since the Miami game, I have known that but refused to fully believe it - I am a believer now)
*8-4 (not a chance)
*6-6 might be the best record we can achieve without a major miracle on offense (like scoring points)
*5-7 is probably (not going to predict which game we will win because I would be wrong)
*I said it another post...not much different today result wise than when TB was in charge
*I like Dabo and want him and Clemson to be successful
*I am not calling for his head just hoping he finds his head (ha!ha!). It is only his second year. It is not uncommon to regress before you turn a corner - as an example, look at our friends in Columbia and now, Spurrier has them turned around - keep the winning going except for the last game of the year against my Tigers.
*Boston College was not a good football team (defense yes, offense no - overall no) if they were so good they would not have lost five in a row and we wouldn't have been their first ACC victory.
*This was not a trap game like people are trying to say
*Why would KP choose after a defeat against BC to tell the world what everyone already knew - He wasn't coming back next year, odd timing. My personal opinion would have been to wait until after the football season was over or at least the regular season.
*I am not a KP hater. I wish he was playing better but I also don't think playing Tajh Boyd a few series each game would hurt. We are struggling on offense and maybe he could spark something. We need something - blocking, throwing, catching would help.
*15,555 high school in America in 2005 - add 2 to it since I know Ashley Ridge and Cane Bay are new since then (15, 567); over 300,000 soccer players between ages 4 and nineteen (which I think is super low); And Clemson a NCAA Division 1 overall top 30 football program can't find a reliable field goal kicker. I find this so hard to understand - over 15,550 high schools and Clemson can't find 1 that can kick and want to go to Clemson. Dabo go ahead and sign him up today - Corey Wyatt Carter is your man at 8 months old. I am prepared to make him the earliest commitment for D1 football in the country.
PS - I know it isn't D1 anymore but the new names are so confusing which is typical of a large organization - take something that everyone understands and make it difficult.
World Series
*It is November and they are still playing baseball - 8 months not including preseason - goodness gracious that's a long time
*The reason I am not a betting man; I would have bet the house on the Texas Rangers.
NASCAR
*Not sure if the ratings are improving, I didn't watch yesterday but they finally have a "Chase" for the Cup. My guy is a long shot at this point (the 24) so lets keep it in the family - pulling for the 48 (and so all the conspiracy theorists can have something to talk about - they think NASCAR has fixed the previous 4 seasons so the 48 could win...really and they also believe, we also didn't land on the moon.)
