Make it a Double

Sometimes as a mom you think "Yes, my children were sick, but now they're not" and you move on. But then you come home from work (yesterday) and you see Abby crying and screaming and clutching her ear because she's in so much pain. And THEN she tells you that she want to brush her teeth because her teeth hurt!

So, off to Urgent Care we go (which is always a pleasant thing) for the doctor to tell us she has a DOUBLE ear infection...and the right ear is really bad. How bad can that doctor make me feel? Or is it just that Abby has a high tolerance for pain and showed NO OTHER symptoms to clue us in?

Either way...she's on antibiotic. And Paige is trying to convince her that it tastes like bubble gum. Now, if only Paige could convince herself that it tastes like bubble gum...then we'd be in business.

Oh! And did I mention that these meds have sugar? So that when you give Abby her first dose at nearly 10 pm she's all of a sudden hyper and can't fall asleep?

Good times...

    Some doctors can make you feel dumb for one of two reasons (and there's nothing in the middle): Either you are wasting their time with a kid that does not need to be seen -or- why didn't you get this kid in sooner.
