Still trying to overcome my case of the meh's, but realised I hadn't been exercising as much lately. So the last few days I have made it my priority to get out and walk up the 2.5km hill near my house. Starting to feel order return to my world :O)
Moving onto matter's of shared parenting ... Even though things have been quite the last wee while the last two weeks have been frustrating.
DS is hardly ever sick, however about two weeks ago I noticed he had a high tempature and was coughing alot. We got through the weekend with pamol and rest. When his father picked him up I gave him a run down of the situation and asked that he keep me updated on how he was going while DS was with him. This was on Monday morning a week ago.
When I picked DS up from kinder Wednesday week ago he was still quite unwell. I made a doctors appointment for the next morning. We had a long night as DS didn't sleep well as his coughing kept him awake. Asking me through out the night to make the coughers stop.
We went to the GP appointment last Thursday and I explained to her his condition and it was after this that she let me know that she had seen DS on the Tuesday and nobody had bothered to tell me. When she had seen DS on Tuesday she suggested that he had a virus to his father. Two days later she was suggesting that it may be bacterial because DS wasn't improving. So as his doctor and mother we decided to proceed with a course of antibiotics.
When I got home I rang DS father to let him know that I had taken him to the doctors and that I had picked up the antibiotics and was starting them that morning. We were both in agreement that it was the best thing to do as we didn't want DS to go down hill and end up with something nasty. He called back about two hours later wanting to know which GP I had seen as he wanted to go in and talk to them. I explained that as a grown and mature adult I fully comprehended the conversation I had with the GP and there was no need for him to go in.
The next day DS was back with his father for the weekend as well as the Monday and Tuesday. I packed the antibiotics in his bag when he left.
DS father called me yesterday morning to let me know that he was still coughing but seemed to have improved. I asked had he completed the course of antibiotics that I had started and the answer was no. I picked up DS a few hours later from kinder and it was obvious that he was not ok. I checked in with the kinder teachers and they had noticed that he had been lethargic all week and not himself. I was so angry, this was not a game of control between two parents this is our son's health. After multiple calls to my mum I decide to call DS lawyer and ask her advice. She was not impressed either in particular that the antibiotics had been started and not completed. She has sent him a letter today expressing her concern for his lack communication with me and that he did not administer the medication that I had started under the advice of DS doctor.
I decided to take DS to another medical center last night for a second opinion and swabs were done to rule out a few things. I am still waiting for the results while DS continues to keep himself awake at night coughing.
On another note while the undie problem has disappeared, the replacement is the lunch box! And while the Judge instructed him not to come to my house outside of pick up/drop off times he doesn't seem to have paid much attention. Most days that DS is with me he finds a reason to drop something off.
