Ah, yes, don't we all just love the smell of the doctor's office? Today was actually a planned visit for LP, it was to recheck her ears and eyes. And...she still has an ear infection. And her nose is congested. So tonight she will start a new round of anti-biotics and a decongestant. Yay for us!
And just so we don't miss the doctor/patient experience too much, I have an OB visit on Monday and LP has yet another recheck on Tuesday. There will be no problem using up all of our fflex-spending account $ this year!
I feel really bad for my little baby. She has been a bit cranky lately and not interested in putting her diaper on. We thought she just liked running around naked, but maybe she doesn't like laying down because it makes her ears and sinuses hurt? Who knows? To be honest, her nose hasn't even been running, I guess that is the difference between "congestion" and "snot".
Speaking of noses...
After the doctor we stopped at Stew's, our local the grocery store. They always have lots of free samples and the lobster bisque they were handing out in small cups was particularly excellent. As I was strapping LP back into her car seat after eating our way through the store, she starts rubbing my nose, "Nose! Nose!"; me: "Yes, baby, that is mommy's nose." Then I looked at my reflection: there was lobster bisque on the bridge of my nose! Lovely. No one said anything to me! One woman talked to me and LP for several minutes by the salad bar (2 minutes after consuming the bisque sample) and the cashier that checked us out never said a word.
To further my food-related misery, LP hit me in the head with an unwanted piece of honeydew (off of previously discussed salad bar) and then threw her yogurt-covered "schpoooon!" at my pants to close out her lunch. Ah, the joys of motherhood.

After I read the first paragraph I had to scroll back up to recheck the date. I thought, didn't I just read about a dr appt & infections?! I can't believe poor LP is still sick, man oh man. Give her lots of tlc and some hugs and kisses from her chocolate auntie.
I am so laughing about the honeydew and the spoon. I thought I would NEVER get out of the stage wherein I would leave the house in perfectly clean clothing and arrive at whatever my destination happened to be with some mystery thing on it somewhere. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one! :)
That's too funny that LP was the only one who told you about having something on your nose. Unfortunately, it was a little too late. Hope she feels better soon.
I hope you get past these ear infections soon. It sucks to have a sick kiddo.
It's like poor LP is taking on all the sick days she missed over the last year of day care. Cuddle her up this weekend and give her lots of love.
Oh, doctors. If your insurance is like mine, you also get to enjoy getting bills in the mail later for everything insurance decided they didn't have to cover! Hope your little one is feeling better soon!
Oh no - I'm so sorry about the ears. MK and LP are in the same boat. We're on the 4th antibiotic since Christmas! We're back at the ped on Tuesday, too.
