Bloody Nuisance

Little E had another dramatic day today.

This is my theme song right now…

Little E had a fabulous 2-hour nap this morning – no doubt after yesterday! When she woke up we had a quick lunch and I pumped dose #2 of her antibiotics into her. It’s hard for me not to lick up the spill – yummy strawberry flavour.

We headed out to lab #3 to give a blood sample – I should say take a blood sample. It was most definitely not consensual from Little E’s perspective. We had a long wait with the other patients before actually going in, so Little E played patty cake and made her rounds meeting and charming everyone – including a shy little 2-year-old girl. When our number was called and we left the waiting room in the direction of bloody doom, Little E piped up with her newest and most prized trick, “bye-eee” and a wave. I was bursting with pride as the otherwise awkwardly silent room exploded into salutations, waves and smiles.

Too bad they had to listen to the screaming that followed.

Not long though, nothing a little boob can’t handle.

I made it home with just enough time to walk Jake and nap Little E in the stroller before heading off to our next appointment – our Naturopath at Sage Clinic in Yaletown.

AMAZING!!! I feel 100 times better. Dr. Veeravagu is knowledgeable, encouraging, positive, handsome, knowledgeable.  

He reassured us that we had caught the disease early, and reasoned that since she had no other symptoms the bacteria hadn’t spread. He supported the antibiotics and said that if we needed to go longer he would prescribe. He has a couple of collegues in the States that are specialists in this field so he will check in with them and check back with us.

I must say, this experience has proven to me that people like babies.

All of the doctors have moved so quickly and with such care.

We are going to be ok – leaving it day by day…
