I wonder if they think I'm unstable

Lillian kept me up all night with coughing, vomiting and fever. Literally she threw up like every hour. So not pleasant. Today, we are back from the good old pediatrics office. Lillian got to meet a new doctor today and she really liked her. Poor Dr. Taylor, she is so mean to him. He was on vacation so she got someone we haven't had the opportunity to meet. I loved her, she was awesome! Dr. I decided to give her a rocephin shot. I love rocephin shots. I don't love that she has to get them, but they are so much more effective for Lillian than any oral/gt med. Dr. I says that something else has got to be going on for her to be running a fever for 11 straight days. I agree. (sometimes you feel like a nut job going in there so frequently, it doesn't help that I'm totally sleep deprived and mentally exhausted from seeing her suffer. ) Course, I prove my instability by having a break down, nothing like making that good first impression, huh? We go back Monday for another shot and hopefully we do not make it into the dreadful hospital before this is all said and done. Thanks for praying and keep them coming. Still in the woods we are.

  2. I hope you can keep seeing that new doctor! You are allowed a breakdown. Especially when the doctor agrees and thinks something else is going on.

  3. The new doc sounds awesome! I've wondered if Ava's pedi thought that about me on a few occasions too. O'well...We can all be happily unstable;) lol

  5. Hey sometimes a break down in front of the doctor is one way to get them to take you seriously.
    I agree with the doc. There must be something mysterious going on here to have a fever for 11 days. I hope they get to the bottom of it. In the meantime I will keep you and Lillian in my prayers!
