There has been job interview news, and a little girl and mom weekend spent at grandma's, and I'm too tired to post about any of it. Mostly because we just spent 3 hours in the local emergency room.
It wasn't anything too traumatic. Ros has had a cough since yesterday--we were sleeping in the same room at my mom's place, and she kept both of us up with it last night--but mostly seemed okay. Then at 6 tonight we noticed she was spiking a fever of 104. Tylenol was given, she seemed sleepy but okay, and then woke up after an hour, crying hysterically and holding her ears.
Of course, the children's after hours clinic our pediatrician uses closed 45 minutes before this happened. So it was off to emergency for us.
The place was a zoo. The waiting room was packed, and there were EMS people from three ambulances lined up at triage. The little girl waiting with her family behind us was throwing up. And then Ros started throwing up. All over the Sweetie and herself.
The throwing up thing might have bumped us up in queue, because by the time I went home and came back with clean clothes for them both, they'd been in to see the doctor and came out with a prescription for antibiotics to treat the ear infection we'd suspected all along. (The doctor said the throwing up was probably because of nausea from the ear infection. Fingers crossed he's right.)
We gave Ros a wee bit of the dinner she wouldn't eat when the fever spiked, have put her to bed, and now I'm going to pass out. And not think about the interview and teaching demo on Thursday that I have to prep for.
At least I'm too exhausted to be panicked about anything.
