Why is it that when the weather gets nice we get sick!!

I hate being sick! I hate when my daughter is sick even more. She hasnt eatin in 4 days, she vomits if she even takes a bite of anything, she's had a fever of 101 all week, of course she has the cough that keeps her and everyone else up all night. I've missed school and work all week because I can't take her to daycare, which is fine I wouldnt't send her sick if they let me. So I took her to the doctor on Wednesday and they tested for strep, and the flu, both negative. Her doctors nurse is in such a rush and she is so rude to kids. This is what happend: The second the old rude nurse calls us back to get her weight, she rushed Lorelai to take her shoes off and hop on the scale. I've worked in doctor's offices before, I know everyone is in a hurry especially when they are short staffed, but there is no reason to treat kids the way this lady does. So Lorelai takes her shoes off without untying them because the lady is rushing her, and then when Lorelai needed my help to untie them so she can put them back on the nurse made a rude remark "that's why you untie them before you take them off ugh". This is the 3rd time i've had to deal with this nurse and I was about to say something. Finally we make our way to the room and I sit Lorelai up on the table and the nurse wanted to swab her throat to run a strep test. Lorelai has never ever ever had a problem with doctors or shots or swabs or anything, she actually enjoys talking to doctors and making them laugh. So anyway, Lorelai is 5 1/2 and she askes a lot of questions. The nurse told her to open her mouth and say "AH", Lorelai asked so sweetly "can I just open my mouth without saying AH?". The nurse walks out of the door and gets another nurse to hold Lorelai down. At this point Lorelai is very confused and crying and reaching out for me. I was so furious I almost punched the old nurse in her face. SERIOUSLY?! After that she just left the room she knew she better not come around me anymore. I love that doctor because she is really thourough, but I won't let that nurse come around her again. It's pretty obvious that lady needs to work in the ER in texas or something. I'm sure she is good at what she does but she clearly doesn't need to be working with kids! GRR.

  1. My son also got sick. He got to go back to school for 2 days after all the snow days, then was home for two days. I also had to miss school and work. He had temps ranging from 101-104 degrees, but had no other symptoms. I elected this time to not take him to the doctor or urgent care because it is just another nasty virus running its course. I luckily haven't gotten sick yet...
