UGH!! Bad couple of days! I've become the B#$@% from Hell! My kids have been sick for over a month (pink eye twice, ear infection, bronchitis, etc., for both kids!). So, for the past week I've been trying to get them appointments with the dr. (military doc., hard to get appt.). Anyway, each time I called, I was told "sorry, no appts. available". Finally, two days ago, the nurse called me back. I told her both my daughters have fevers, caughing, lethargic, etc. She told me not to worry about it until their fevers went up to 104 degrees +. So, as upset as I was, I figured she knew what she was talking about, WRONG!!!
Last night at 11pm my 3 year old daughter was throwing up, her fever hadn't gone down at all for two days, this was with motrin and tylenol. So, I said "Screw this!!" And I took her to the ER. They did all sorts of test. Poor baby!! It was so horrible to see her in pain when it could have been prevented!!
It turned out my baby has pneumonia, a severe ear infection, and a throat infection!!! I'm so pissed off that no one would give me an appointment!! So, we got home at 4 am, I stayed awake and decided to take my 16 month old daughter to the doctors office on base.
I walked in, no appt., and told them I wasn't leaving until someone looked at her. They told me "sorry, only one Dr. in today, no appts. avail, she can't be seen today, how about Monday". I said "No, maybe you didn't understand me, I'm NOT LEAVING until someone sees my baby". So, I explained the situation w/my kids, that my older daughter is now VERY ILL because NO ONE would see her, and I was not going to allow it to happen again, etc. I said that I wanted to make sure her ear infection had cleared up and that she didn't have something more serious. So, they sent a nurse to us right away and GUESS WHAT??? My baby has a throat infection AND an ear infection!!!
So, now both my kids are on meds. My older D is on Biaxin (Spelling??) and she refuses to take it, must take pretty bad. So I'm trying to figure out ways to add it to things so she won't taste it so much, I've tried pudding, no luck. Any ideas??
Anyway, I appologized to H this morning (he stayed w/older d while I took younger d to Dr.). I told him that I'm so sorry that I was being a bitch, and I hoped that it didn't change how he had come to think of me. He said that he had problems with me before because I was being a bitch all the time, he understands the stress I've been under. But, I feel terrible! I want to do something nice for him, any ideas? I was thinking of a nice massage tonight?? He loves when I give him massages, and his love languages are acts of service and physical contact. So, I think it would make him pretty happy for me to give him a massage?
Well, just wanted to touch base about why I haven't been on here too much!
