Now that it's January and things have settled down a bit, we decided it would be a good time to start our "date days." Unfortunately, a trip to urgent care on Saturday night derailed our plans just a bit, but we were still able to make it happen.
Poor lil' Luke has pneumonia. Yikes! Luckily it is pretty mild and the medicine seems to be working. He isn't napping well but sleeping ok at night and his fever is finally down. We think he is finally on the mend and Olivia seems to be immune to it so far. Fingers crossed! We are staying inside lots and letting him heal as much as possible.
So, my "date" with Luke included a trip to the urgent care on Saturday. We got there around 5pm, after calling all afternoon for wait times...which were running 2 hours. They finally hit a slow time and we decided to go up there. Once we arrived, there was an emergency with an elderly lady that had fallen so Luke and I kept busy playing hide and seek in the waiting room. We also watched a little football together. Poor thing hates going to the doctor and gets upset as soon as they take us into a room. They did a strep test and flu test after ruling out ear infections. He had a fever of 102, so there was an infection of some sort. The doctor decided to do a chest xray and that is where she saw the pneumonia. He didn't have the standard symptoms of coughing and sneezing bu the did have the high fever. He got a shot of rocephin and she sent us home with a prescription to get filled. We got home at 7:15pm and little guy was so tired he went straight to bed. Although this wasn't the time together we had planned, I enjoyed having some one on one time with Luke.
Meanwhile, Daddy and Olivia were spending time together at home, including eating dinner...just the two of them. We talked about how different is it to just have one child at a time yet odd at the same time because we are so used to having them together. Luke and Olivia did great at being apart and seemed to enjoy the one on one time.
Sunday morning I took Olivia with me to WalMart to get Luke's prescription while Luke stayed home with Daddy. I have never been out with Olivia one on one and it was fun to have that time together. She did great sitting in the shopping cart all by herself and talked the entire time. Meanwhile, Daddy played with Luke at home and they took a short nap together. Luke and Olivia were happy to see one another, though, and they definitely prefer to be together. Twins...what a wonderful bond!
