Mark this week on my calendar as a week to not repeat. We started the week with Ben at TCH all day and ended the week with Ainsley at the pediatrician’s office for four hours. We initially took Ainsley for some itching issues and to ask whether her tummy pains were still from the salmonella poisoning that she had in December. That last question lead to xrays, a blood draw, and another urine test. The doctor isn’t really sure why Ainsley’s tummy still bothers her. So now we are going back for another visit following a week of no fruit. Are you kidding? No fruit for a week? I got home thinking. Hmmm. Maybe stomach pains aren’t a terribly bad thing. But truthfully it isn’t fair to Ainsley. It obviously bothers Ainsley enough that she complains frequently about them. So I guess we do it. I wish that was how our day ended.
So I took Ainsley back to school for a few hours. Then I picked her up from school and was giving her a hug . . . it felt like I had just opened the oven door. Heat radiated off of her body in waves. I took her temp and yep . . . 104. Why or why could you have not had this fever and symptoms this morning when we were at the doctor’s for so long? They took her temp at the office and it was 98.6. What a day. What a day. Let’s hope the weekend proves to be better.
