This morning started with a visit to our pediatrician. Who somehow makes it all seem ok and even manages to make me laugh at least once, which was a lot since I cried all the way there. He did tell me this morning that the pulmonologist said he probably would not have done a PPD on Ollie because he was nowhere near high risk. So at the end of the day Dr. G. Kirk Walker essentially saved my child's life. Plus it was wonderful to visit the office and have him and his nurse come in NOT wearing a mask. Maybe Ollie isn't so scary afterall.
Then we met with the Health Dept nurse. She did wear a mask and asked A LOT of questions. We get to see her every morning at 9:30am for the next three weeks. Then we get to meet with a CNA every morning at 9:30am for the following three weeks.
But the "good" news is after that it is only twice a week........for the following nine months. The bad news is he still has to have labs drawn every friday. That means a visit to the health dept every friday. And the whole family has to have repeat PPD tests in two months.
Just talking about is already making me exhausted.
