When the nurse finally called back (after I made a second call early afternoon), she agreed to squeeze difficult child in today. So, as it turns out, difficult child saw a different dr than he did last week and this dr says difficult child has two bad ear infections (he added that difficult child is probably having trouble hearing right now), he has sinusitis, and bronchitis. I asked for a note from the dr so I (and the school) can be covered since difficult child has already missed more school this year than it requires, even for excused absences, for the school to call in social services- I think they have to.
Here I had complained to difficult child all afternoon about choosing to look for excuses to not go to school rather than choosing to look for reasons to do what he should. So, after this appointment., I told difficult child that he owed this to Smallworld for me taking him to the dr today.
So, difficult child is not only on an antibiotic (zythromax) on top of his nasal spray, but albuterol was added. This REALLY scares me. difficult child has not had albuterol since being 4 yo and when he had it then, which was many times for asthmatic wheezing, well, those are the ONLY times before reaching 11yo that my son acted hyper, out of character, agitated, etc. I am really worried that this could send him into mania. I talked to him on the way home about being alert to signs of hyperness, feeling different or "up", short-tempered, etc, and that he wouldn't be to blame for it but let me know asap because we would have to re-evaluate all these medications he's on right now.
Shhewwww....
