Chris had a doctor appointment today to find out why he's been battling (Is that how you spell it? It looks dumb) a fever for the last 5 weeks.
First was the physical exam which was a piece of cake, and actually made him giggle a bit.
Next was the blood work. *cringe*. I'll skip that because I don't care to relive it. They were doing 10 different tests, and they needed a LOT.
Then he got to pee in a cup. Fun times. He's an excellent aimer! I had no idea. He thought the whole thing was neat, and really liked putting the cup of pee in the little compartment. That's always my favorite part too.
On to x-ray where he rocked the lead apron, and enjoyed getting his picture taken over and over. He said it was fun to have his shirt off in town. Should I be scared? The lady let him keep one of the "mess ups", and now I have to find a place to hang it.
We went back to the room to wait (we'd been there pushing 2 hours now), and turns out he has a bad bladder infection, and all they really needed to do was the urine analysis. Grr.
So now we have an answer for the 5 weeks of fevers. If only Urgent Care would have done a pee test when we were there in July.
Chris got his first phone number from a new friend (Austin) from school today. Well, I think it's a friend on the bus really, but it still counts, and he's so excited! He even had to program it in the phone himself.
