Oh Crap

Yesterday Tabitha was really grizzly. Today she was even more grizzly. I had 3210983109328 errands to run today but I figured maybe I would take her to the Pediatrician * just in case * she was getting an ear infection seeing as we have a 4 day weekend away as of tomorrow.

I popped out to Nordstrom 1st thing to get Dylan some shoes, then came back via the Ped. Explained that I was no doubt being overly paranoid - a result of the RSV she had I worry too much - and he had a look and discovered a double ear infection :-( Then he listened to her chest and diagnosed a 'wheeze' too.

Because of the RSV she's potentially at risk for chest issues / asthma so he gave her some Albuterol (steroid inhaler) and had us wait 20 minutes to see if it helped. It didn't, but apparently that is a good thing - it means the wheeze is a result of the virus not asthma.

Anyway - she now has antibiotics. I asked about the tubes in her ears but he said because this latest one is some time after the previous ones it doesn't automatically mean tubes. I have mixed feelings because I don't want her to keep getting these ear infections and I think she maybe ought to have them, but at the same time I don't want her having surgery.

Anyway - as a result of this I was late to take Harry to school and still had 129348012938 errands plus Tab was NOT loving being out & about. Rushed home, force fed Harry in 10 minutes flat, got to school 20 mins late, then drove through McDonalds to grab myself something in desperation ...... got to the window and discovered NO CREDIT CARD. GONE. Pulled over & searched the car but it was nowhere. I think Nordstrom failed to give it back to me. Called Nordstrom - they denied seeing it, fuckers. Called bank & cancelled it. Drove to branch and got given a new one (thankfully so easy to do). Did rest of errands, much to Tab's disgust.

Since getting home have worked like a dog getting Caravan loaded up ready for weekend...... now G is finishing off the manly tasks to do with electric and gas, and we'll be off in the morning, sick baby and all.
