Medical Play-By-Play!

Saturday evening:  Emme has had a triple digit temp since Tuesday and has missed the first 4 days of classes.  Her fever finally improved today, but her tongue is white, her mouth is swollen and her lips are covered with fever blisters.
Sunday afternoon:  Emme is growing teeth; Gid is losing teeth! Life is never boring!!!
Monday morning:  Now Gid has a temp of 102 and Emme's gums are so swollen when I not so gently brushed her teeth in attempt to remove all the gooey white gunk from her mouth her gum's bleed for almost an hour!!! When will the fun end and freedom return?!?!
Monday afternoon:  Between language differences and differences in medical treatment plans, I really wonder why we even waste our money going to the doctor. Supposedly Emme and Gideon have the same illness.  It is viral, but there was bacteria in Emme's blood and gave her an antibiotic. The doctor did not test Gid for bacteria and said he did not need an antibiotic. And why does the fact that the doctor was cute and friendly make me feel better?  One final "comment"...OK, complaint!!!  How can you call a pharmacy "24 Hour, 7 Days a Week" when they are closed for lunch?!?!

Please pray that the kids would heal completely and recover quickly!!!
