This morning, I got a text from Dada that Janie was looking not well this morning when he dropped her off at school. She had been coughing all week, had a goopy eye, and complained of pain in her right ear last night. So, I called the advice nurse from work and they got us an 11:45 appointment. I had to leave work early, pick up Janie from school, and take her.
All the symptoms pointed to the common bug that’s been going around. In fact, there was a kid who officially had pink eye this week too. No wonder! So, the doc prescribed antibiotics for her and also suggested some Zyrtec for her coughing/congestion. Janie was most excited about the lollipop at the end. She even had a real conversation with her doctor for the first time. Before today, she had never spoken a word to her.
On our way home, we stopped at Safeway to fill her prescription. We also had some extra time to kill before sending Mirian home for the day so we drove to Target. Janie fell asleep on the way over so we ended up sitting in the Target parking lot for 45 minutes for nap time.
