Darren's saga continues...

I thought the younger child copies the older one, not the other way around!!

So Saturday I took Darren back to the clinic, because his fever wasn't going down, and he was breathing rather heavily. They sent us over to the hospital for chest x-rays, where they had to clamp the poor little guy into this plastic tube-type thing. We took the x-rays back to the clinic (waited again) where he diagnosed him with pneumonia in both lungs. So then we headed off to the pharmacy again (I think they're getting to know me there!). Unfortunately the computer was down and they had to send us to another one....Darren was so tired, he was falling asleep in the cart, leaning into my hand. I also got some antibiotics for my ear which wasn't improving either. As of yesterday, Darren still had high fevers and no appetite. The saddest thing was that he wasn't fighting or fussing at all... he was too sick. Today the fever is down, thankfully. The appetite still isn't back, but he's looking much better and he has his personality back!
Like I said, I'm sick of doctors!!!
