To Return to Work or Not?: Korbin's Choice



I could kiss this little face all day long...sometimes I do. Now that I have extended my maternity leave for a couple more months, I can enjoy this face and the kisses that much more. I was seriously having a heart attack at the thought of going back.

I "talked" to Korbin to get his perspective on what he wanted mommy to do. A couple days later he got sick. The doctor ordered a few different medications and for him to stay in a "controlled environment" which is basically like a quarantine because he couldn't go anywhere. We even had to give up our plans for a cabin for my birthday and our plans for New Years Eve. Welcome to Parenthood! I am not upset. I got to have time with my little guy at home; that is just as good as time at a cabin.

I truly felt like this was Korbin telling me what he wanted. He wanted me to be there to take care of him. Because I like to know that things are done right, especially with my son, I wanted to make sure that his medication was given to him properly. Unfortunately,  when there are so many medications and some that have to be taken multiple times a day  there must be communication about when he takes it.

Seriously thinking of creating a medication board for him!

It would be very easy for me to think that my husband gave him the medication, or  him think that I did and Korbin not get his medication. On the flip side, the same could go for over dosing him on it. There has to be communication! I just want to make sure that he is safe, and unfortunately, I am not that trusting. Heck, I have only been away from him for a max of 4 hours. So for now, Korbin has decided that mommy isn't going back to work this month.
