Mothers Instinct
I thank God for it every day! I knew last night when Drama Mama woke up around 11 crying and asking for water that something was wrong. But not wanting to be the Drama Queen I can be...I made myself wait until morning to call the advice nurse...not really thinking I should bring her in just for them to tell me it is a virus and has to pass on it's own (after all the child has been there more times in the last 3 months than in her WHOLE life (between the anal strep, ringworm, stomach virus, and nursemaids elbow (long story, another time).....well around 8 I call to schedule her an appt, since she has declined her morning dry cereal (OMG!) and chocolate. (milk) And I see she just isn't right.
They see her at 9:40.
It's strep.
throat this time.
nice.
Anyway my point to the title was this is one of MANY times I was told I should let it ride out and instead followed my own instinct and brought her in to be seen by a Dr. anyway.
At least we caught it fairly early, and it saved me from a night of misery as her temp soared to 104.8.
I am still waiting for it to break, and giving her tylenol every 4 hours.
My poor little "baby girl" (as she insists on being called...seriously!)
Love to all, and hope to report better news in the coming days!
P.S Bug is doing great so far in school...granted it IS only the second week. I am so proud! :P
