More on kids.

My baby has a earache.

Anyone that has a child has had them get sick in one form or another.

What about the sickness that baffles the hell outta you because you don't know anything about it?
OK. My daughter has tubes in her ears. Put in about 10 months ago. The Dr said that there may be drainage. Yeah, after the surgery. Makes sense to me. But NOT 10 months later. SOOOOOO, here I am with the child that keeps my life in sync with an earache, a little drainage and the biggest thing (to me) the ear tubes.

Now, if it were a cold, cough even chicken pox, I would know what to do. But, those ear tubes really throw a wrench in the gears for me.
Who do I call? What Dr, the specialist? The primary? The president?
911?
OK, calm down. You know other Mommies. With answering machines.
No good there.
OK, calm down. You have a computer. Look it up.
Bad move.
Now I think that she needs major surgery.
So, OK. Calm down.
She is breathing, smiling. Says her ear hurts. "how bad? Dr bad?" I ask and I get "yes, Dr bad".
So, come hell or high water, my baby will be seen by a member of the medical profession that speaks good old English one way or another tomorrow. (she even went to bed early. Totally not normal)
I am normally a laid back, easy going person. When it comes to Jenna.
Look out. Here I come.
Truth is, it's probably nothing. Maybe even the tube coming out (this is the fake calm me talking) I am sure that she will miss school for nothing.
But, even if they don't make Jenna feel better. I know I will just knowing the answer.
So, until next time,
Just me
