This morning we planned on taking Nate to the doctor. We were going to take all four kids with us when Sabine received a call from Carlos and Sylvia. They were in Santiago and suggested they come over to watch the kids while Sabine and I took Nate. What a tremendous help. When they arrived, we took off. The doctor checked him out and turns out he has allergies and they had gotten so bad that he has an infection. She prescribed antibiotics and an allergy medicine for him.
We went to the mall and entered a store that apparently was just bought out from Wal-Mart. We went straight to the pharmacy and then we did some shopping for food to take to Panguipulle. Nate was extremely grumpy and difficult. We got home and was good to visit with Carlos and Sylvia. Tomorrow we are all driving together to go to the south.
Nate was extremely grumpy so after he took his medicine, I took him to our room and he fell asleep. Wow, the first nap he’s had since we’ve been here. I came downstairs and realized I was hungry. Sabine offered me some Pastel de Choclo and it was delicious. Here I am eating and Nate has had no appetite for days and worried about him.
After I ate, I did some laundry and started packing. Everyone has made fun of me for how much stuff I brought and told me that I could only bring a small duffle bag because of how much room there is in the car. Oh boy, it’s true, I do bring a lot of stuff but I’m always prepared. Packing was a challenge but I did it. I took a shower and Nate was still sleeping. I realized he had been napping for four hours. I had a long night ahead of me. I was hungry so I ate dinner and then I had to finish up some laundry. Nate had woken up by now and was able to give him his medicine. The nap did him good as well as the medicine. I could see he was already looking much better. But he was still not eating. As a mother, this is hard for me to understand. I want him to eat but refuses. Looks like another night without dinner.
I decided to go to bed early so that I could finish packing and get a good night sleep and be prepared for the long day ahead of us. Surprisingly, Nate actually went to bed.
