Ten full days. We finally went to the doctor after the “mystery” symptoms continued. I didn’t have the luxury of fancy fingers to feel her “nodules” on her throat. Nor did I put pressure hear her eyes above her nose for her to go “OW!” The doctor has the fancy touch.
It was a long week of her not getting better! Her fever broke on Tuesday, and we would say, OK, back to school on _______. You can get your homework done tomorrow and then go back the following day. That following day never happened. She would try to come out early of her bedroom, but this is how she would communicate:
Then I’d come and say:
YOU NEED…
Electrolytes
Honey
An apple squeezey
Water
I don’t know!!! AAAAAHH!!!
And the day would go on with more mystery.
Then the next day:
And more:
The SCREAMING CAPS!
Ok. That. is. it.
We are going to the DOCTOR!!
Sunday (thank GOD) they were open
Our favorite Urgent care, and you know the rest of the story.
After we left the doc, we picked up her RX at Walgreens and I immediately had her drink a protein drink with her first dose. We also loaded up on some stuffies, squeeze toys, and slime. The OTHER kind of medicine for the girl.
She seems to be better already, and I’m so grateful.
Now, if we can get her back to school tomorrow, all will be well.
Thank you, Jesus, for helping my sweet girl.
