round 3

Or is it 4? Not sure, I lost count. I took Miss Klaire BACK into the doctor today as she's had a temp (although very low still not right) off an on and her nose has not stopped running...green. Yucko. I always call the nurse thinking they'll tell me to wait, but they never do..."she needs to be seen." So back in we went.

I have to tell you I think she's developed a phobia of the doctor. We didn't see our regular guy so he even asked "is this normal/does she always get upset, even when not sick?" (the answer is yes). Meaning does she always cling to the waiting room chair when they call her name in the waiting room, get dragged onto the scale and try to jump off, and absolutely lose her mind when the doctor tries to listen to her breathe or God forbid look in her ears, all the while literally screaming in my ear. She's legitimately scared but I can't figure out a way to reassure her more than I already am. We coach, she repeats "no crying, and "doctor U is nice" and Grandpa even bribed candy out of her pumpkin if she was good. No go. Still scared. Oh well, I guess we'll mark it down as a phase and blame it on the fact that before this horrible October of sickness they hadn't even been to the office since their 2 year checkup which actually went pretty well. Sigh.

So back to today, she still has the sinus infection from hell. She's on a stronger antibiotic and he even gave me a refill in case 10 days is not enough. Maybe it's because I mentioned the 7 co-pays we've paid as a family this month. Ha. Whatever the reason, I'm hoping this is it.

On the bright side she did not have an ear infection and she brought home 4 stickers, one of which she gave to Grace:)
