Austin will be 2 years old in December, therefore he has experienced two October 9ths since his birth. This date seems to carry unfortunate events for him.
Saturday, October 9, 2010 - Austin eats eggs and experiences anaphylaxis for the first time.
Sunday, October 9, 2011 - Austin woke just before midnight with a high fever. We gave him medicine and waited for it to take effect. Several hours later, he was expressing he was in pain and his fever was still climbing. We loaded up at 3am to head to the emergency room. Four hours and $100 later we were home and back in bed with a diagnosis of double ear infection.
As I sat in the waiting room with Austin asleep on my lap, I realized these two medical events had occurred on the same day --October 9th. All in all, I believe we have been blessed to only have had two "medical emergencies" in the two years of his life. One event per year isn't all that bad.
**To clarify, I am not "that" good with dates. My best friend's baby was born October 8th of last year. I was receiving her phone call with her birth announcement when Austin began anaphylaxing. Last Saturday, we attended his 1st birthday party, hours before Austin woke with a high fever.
