We only had to wait for about 15 minutes in the lobby before getting called back but it seemed like we were waiting forever. I loved the doctor. She was such a sweet woman and she sat down and talked to me and took her time. She asked if I was a stay at home mom and proceeded to tell me that I have the best job in the world, which I couldn't disagree. She even told me that she could tell that this is what I've always wanted to do and told me I'm a great mom. She really calmed my nerves by talking to me because I was so stressed about Talon having such a high fever and not knowing what was wrong with him. We were there for a good 2 hours because they had to check him for strep throat and RSV and then we had to wait for the results. My boys were angels the whole time and it was also nice that there wasn't anything in the room for them to get into. Both test results came back negative and I was so relieved! He ended up having a double ear infection so they gave him some amoxicillin right on the spot. I felt so bad for him because I knew that he had to be in a lot of pain. I've never had an ear infection before but if I could trade places with him, I would.
After we left, we headed up to Target to get a prescription filled for him. It was going to take an hour to get it done so we headed over to Pet Co. because I knew the boys would love to see all the animals. Their favorites were the birds, fish and the rabbit. I could tell that the medicine was starting to work because Talon began to act like himself again. He was trying to stand up in his stroller and was pointing at everything. After we left Pet Co, we walked back to Target and did some browsing. Then we picked up his medicine and headed over to Chick-Fil-A.
Chick-Fil-A is in the same parking lot as Target and so I pulled up to where I was to place my order and noticed that the menu looked different. The lady asked if she could help me and it dawned on me that I was at the fast food restaurant next to Chick-Fil-A. I didn't even know what restaurant I was at. I felt like such an idiot and just mumbled something and drove off. Yep, I was at Burger King! I do not like that place at all. Heck there aren't many fast food places that I do like. So I ended up getting my food and headed home. When I got home, I took Talon's temperature and it was back to normal. I can't believe how fast the medication was working.
He is doing better now but still congested and wants to be held all the time. I'm hoping to have my little boy back to himself in the next few days.
