Today ranks right up there as one of the worst days of my life. After much running around and several unpleasant tests, my 5 year old was diagnosed with pneumonia today. There is way more to this story, including a doctor’s appointment on Tuesday where they missed it completely and an absolutely terrible nurse at the pediatrician’s office, but I am so exhausted and emotionally wrecked that I can’t even begin to tell this story. I am afraid I will start to cry again and the last thing he needs is to see me so upset.
So if you could, spare a prayer or good thoughts for my little boy and for finding a new pediatric office for my babies. Today was the final straw for us with this one and I’m at a loss as to where to go now. (If you have suggestions, leave them in the comments or email me, PLEASE. I am open to something in the Triangle but would rather stay local if we can.)

I’m sorry. Shame on that pedi’s office. I’m so disgusted with our current healthcare, insurance providers and the like, I could rant all day about it. Hopefully you’ve got some super strong meds to get him feeling better. And a cold Mike’s Hard Lemonade in the fridge for you…
