E's check up

Well, we didn't get to have her 9 month well visit. We got to the appointment, waited for 15 minutes and then they called us back to tell us they were out of the one vaccine E needed and we should reschedule. I said, "actually, she has been running a fever, and since we are here can't we just go ahead and get the shot later?"

They made us change it to a "sick" visit. So the Dr. basically looked in her ears, down her throat and listened to her breathe. Then she said, "she has a virus". At the time E was feeling fine. Her fever broke that morning and she had been playing, babbling and generally happy all morning. When we got home things were different, she spiked a fever again. We were all pretty miserable again for the rest of the day. Thank goodness she got some sleep last night.

Well at least SOMEONE did!

Have you ever seen that episode of Seinfeld where the dog barks so much Elaine eventually dog-naps the pipsqueak and dumps it far away so she can sleep? That was our neighborhood last night. Our next door neighbor's dog got out and sat in her driveway barking from 1:30-6:30. Somehow the owner didn't hear, or didn't care. At one point I went out to run the dog off, but I chickened out. Hey! I am desperate for sleep these days, and anything that takes that away....
