Ice! Sleet! Snow! OH MY! How could this be AGAIN?

Yes, I am at home again for another ice/snow day! This is getting ridiculous! However, for Preston he can use the extra day home to recover from the flu. He still had a fever when he went to bed last night but it was very low. Yesterday at the doctor (they wanted to see him to make sure it was the flu and not something else since he had a green yucky nose) doc wanted to test him for the flu because everything looked good in his ears and chest. So, he sticks the huge q-tip thing up his nose which Preston screams and tries to squirm away, the dr. was not very gentle and he made Preston's nose bleed. That really freaked Preston out, I mean blood went everywhere all over his shirt, down his face. And the doctor handed me a Kleenex and said that happens sometimes as he walked out to get the results. Why are there not any good pediatricians around here? I have three and have not been satisfied with one! I guess I am asking too much when I want a doctor who actually cares for my child and his well being! Anyhow, his test was slightly positive because he is almost over the flu now! I felt horrible after he did that to Preston mainly because on the way over Preston was asking what's the doctor going to do to me. I told him he is just going to look at your ears, mouth, and listen to your chest. I specifically told him, "He won't hurt you. Mommy won't let him do anything to you to hurt you. If you you open your mouth real big, I bet he won't even use the stick!" I didn't let him use the stick and Preston opened his mouth real big. However, when Preston was crying after the flu test, he said that hurt mommy! Needless to say after much crying over the nose bleed, a trip to toys-r-us was in order! He picked out a new game which will come in handy today when we are stuck inside!
