conulyBeing as how we're not Jewish, Yom Kippur could've just been a fun day off of school, but instead we spent a few hours sitting in urgent care with other pediatric patients who inconveniently got sick the same day Ana did. Pediatrics was swamped and not accepting anybody without an appointment due to, you know, the holiday.
Honestly, we've been to the doctor's at least once a week since the start of school. Ana had an asthma attack the night before school started, and then another one a week later, and then we went back the same day to get them both their flu shots because pediatrics apparently got theirs before the rest of the center and I thought it was best to get it over with, and then today Ana got sick, possibly as a side effect from the flu shot.
And when we finally got into the doctor's office it was quick-quick-quick, in and out! Very efficient, which is why the crowd managed to thin as fast as it did. It's a measure of how crowded they were that it took an hour and a half to be seen, because with this woman on staff there's no unnecessary hanging around. She practically was running from room to room to see patients!
Her verdict was that Ana probably will recover in a few days with rest and plenty of liquids, which is what I would've figured anyway except that the poor girl's glands are so swollen she couldn't really turn her head and that never strikes me as something to go unchecked.
And then when we get home and I have them do their yesterday's homework, they say "Oh, well, first we have to do our half hour reading!" What on earth do they think, that it doesn't count if you do it in the doctor's office? Boy does it count.
