This was one crazy week and I still have two more days to go!
First, Amari is sick. Cold, fevers, upchuck and this unbelievable cough! We've been to the doctors twice this week and I may have to go tomorrow since tonight he started complaining about an earache. To top this off, it is now being determined that OTC are not good for our children since there is a danger of overdose, heart murmurs, etc. So while I did break down and give him NightTime Pediacare it wasn't without trepidation. And last night, that didn't help!
Here are a couple of links to articles about OTC and recalled drugs:
FDA Targets Cough Medicine, http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2007/08/cough_medicine.html
Drug Companies Recall Drugs, http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2007/10/infant_cold.html
So for my last week at work its been real crazy. People are thinking I'm taking time off when I'm dealing with a sick child. Luckily, my boss has a child the same age as Amari so she's been real understanding. Especially since she went through this with her child last year!
Will my new boss be just as understanding???? I can only hope or else its a quick in and out there. But, even I don't expect too much until I've won him over with my work, my work ethic and of course, my charming personality. I give myself the normal 90 ninety days and I should be in like Flynn! This is what has led me to my new village!
By the glory of GOD, Amari got sick this week and not next! I am blessed again since he brought my neighbor to my door requesting a favor and we go to talking and they volunteered to help me with Amari. It was perfect. So next week, in place of running home, stressed out to get to the day care, I can work a full day and relax a bit driving from Vienna. She is going to take care of Amari from 5-7 in the evenings, give him some food, and watch him until I get home! Its perfect!My village has expanded at just the right time!
