After my lovely adventure to the dentist Monday, Tuesday we took Jack to a Kindergarten meeting at the elementary school. He was able to tour the school and see some of the places that he has not seen when we pick up Katie. It just made him more excited to start school.
Wednesday was another matter though. Trying to get out the door and to work there was dew all over the van windows. Not letting the car warm up first I tried to clear the windows by making them go up and down. However, the drivers side window would not go down. When it finally did I was travelling at a decent rate of speed and it fell down inside the door. I almost peed in the seat. Luckily the glass did not break.
Mind you it was 38 degrees that morning and I had to drive the van to the dealership with window down to find out what was wrong. A few hours after being dropped off at work by the dealership shuttle I get a call.
"Well ma'am the motor and mechanism in the door are not damaged. The glass itself has little tabs on it and they have broken off. We have to replace the whole glass because you can't put new tabs on the old glass. I would not have the part for a day or two. Parts and labor it will be $538.00. "
I had the $538.00 but there has to be a better way. Phil said he knew someone that did auto glass and he would find his #. Phil calls me back and said the guy has the part and can come to the house this afternoon and replace it for $190.00. SOLD!!!!
Thursday I thought would be uneventful or at least I was hoping so. Little did I know how wrong I was. About 8pm, Thursday night Jack suffered a severe nose bleed. At 2am Friday morning he suffered another and at 6:30am he suffered a third. So I called the doctor at 8:15 and we went to see him.
The pediatrician does not believe it is from Jack picking it. He might have an enlarged septum. Which can cause all the nose bleeds. We won't really know till he goes to the ENT Doctor. We won't be able to see him Monday. However, Jack has suffered five or six nose bleeds in three days. We have been on the phone with the ENT on call and doing the things he has asked us to due to help till Monday.
Nothing really seems to be working though. I feel like all I am doing is putting band-aids on a geyser. There is a small chance he will need some type of minor surgery but again we will not more until Monday. Right now I am just following him around with wipes, towels, saline spray and I am only wear clothes I don't care if I can't get the blood out.
Last night I slept with Jack in his room because the night before he left a trail of blood from his room to mine trying to get to me for help. Now it is starting to scare him and how long they last. So keeping him calm is not easy. We only have one more day before we see the doctor. Hopefully, he will have more answers.
So here is hoping that next week will be calming and boring............
TTFN~
