If martini's were served in the ER....

"If martini's were served in the ER parents would be much more pleasant about having sick kids."

Yep. /that's wat I told the cop last night when he walked up to my window and wanted to clarify that I hadn't been drinking.

I may have swerved a time or two trying to give my sick child a drink while driving during a wind advisory (or maybe the advisory had already expired but there were still some serious gusts happening!) I may had known a cop had been following me since I got on the highway in E, and I may have been annoyed that he didn't pull me over til ACHS. I may have been even more annoyed to realize I know this cop. LOL But I hadn't been drinking & how the hell was I supposed to know my license plate light was out?!

Monster is sick. Real sick. High fever took us to the ER and he tested positive for RSV /////////////////////////// & Influenza. 

^^^ I'm typing one handed with another sick baby sleeping on me,

At the ER we were stuck waiting because an old guy with a splinter in his finger walked in right beforre us. first come first serve basis is ridiculous. M should have been triaged as more severe and taken first. I will be filing a complaint and next time I will just call the ambulance to take him so he gets taken care of without a miserable 45 minute wait infecting the others around that icky place.

After we got the lab results & discussed with the doctor wether or not we were admitting him to the hospital right then, (decided to let him come home but if anything gets worse we go right back for admission) got to Walgreens to pick up a script. The phramacist was hesitant on the dosage, called ER to verify, they verified, he kept it at what they wrote but he seemed really concerned with it.  He gave me the info he had, and where he got it from, he gave me the source the ER was using too, he told me its ultimately my decision but suggested I call our primary first thing in the AM to check with her. Great....add a tad bit of stress to the night.

Leave there, head home, Call my mom who was home with Babe to hear that he's been throwing up since I left. Yum. Get pulled over & be a smartass. Cop sends you on your way with nothing but the words of wisdom to get your light fixed. Home, Monster fights his meds. He is really really sick. Temp is back up. He never fights meds, he's usually begging for meds!

Babe is just ecstatic to see me. Has fussed & not slept for my mom, was all smiles & coos for me & went right to sleep the moment she walked out the door. (It's not just her, he is extremely in love with his momma. I refuse to let this last past toddler years!)

As I was typing this (specifically the part about walgreens) my phone started ringing. Weird...it's not even 7am. I managed to get to it & it was the ER doctor calling to say his dosage was wrong. Its all ok, I went with the pharmacists recommendations anyhow and was going to call our primary this morning to check into it. He sounded like he genuinely felt awful about it & apologized many times. Mistakes happen. Doctors aren't pros in medicine, pharmacists are ;-)

Monster's not up yet & I'm really just dreading him getting up with another fever. I'm home alone. The husband is working a couple of hours away & I haven't heard from him yet today. It's gonna be a wine kinda night tonight. (Although since I mentioned martini's last night all I can think of is how good an apple martini would taste!)
