Well yesterday Dakota was saying his ears hurt and I took him to the Doctor. The Doctor looks in the ear that wasn’t hurting and said to Dakota are you sure your ear isn’t hurting? Dakota said No. Dr said that was one mean ear infection he had in that ear and he was afraid to look in the ear that was hurting. Looked in the other ear and that was infected too.

While I had the Doctor in there I told him about Dakota’s EKG he looked in it with a concerned face and then said there were two abnormalities that were borderline. I shouldn’t be worried. Well that wasn’t good enough for me. I called the Dr that ordered the EKG and they are setting him up for another one on Monday. I asked the nurse to explain it to me in more detail. It had something to do with the way the ventricle opened and closed. I don’t remember what the other one was. They said there was a delay time. They lowered one of the meds of Dakota’s. I am not liking it one bit. Don’t get me wrong I am glad they lowered it but the dose it’s at isn’t working so I can tell that we are going to have a med change soon.

I am curious to know if stress has caused this abnormality or not. If it did I told the nurse I almost feel like it’s my fault because I put him back in school and he is so stressed. I know it’s not my fault as we didn’t know all this would happen. It totally stinks. I am worried and I can’t wait to hear the next EKG report. I really don’t want to add anything to the list of things gone wrong.

Dakota goes back to the Doctor in 2 weeks to check his ears. They must have been really bad. So he stayed home and drove me nuts. He was a motor mouth today. He even talked to the Doctor which was strange because he never does. He clams up and we did nothing different. Yesterday he was asking to go to the Doctor so I knew something was wrong.

We aren’t doing much of anything here this weekend except relaxing and cleaning. We might even start Dakota’s homework for next week so he doesn’t have to do it. Remember Dakota starts a half day next week. This will be interesting. I hope Monday that when we go to the Doctor it’s the same guy that takes Dakota in and does the EKG. Dakota really liked him. Which is odd because Dakota normally likes no one that is in a Doctor’s office.

Brittany is driving me nuts taking off diapers. She knows she is wet now so she takes them off. Today she went potty in the big potty. She fell in the second time she tried it. I couldn’t help but laugh. I know it’s not funny but it was. She really is showing an interst so I am going to have to push the potty more now.
