Poor baby Logan has been sick since Wednesday. At first it all started with a mere trickle of snot from her wee nostrils. Then it progressed to a thin, flowy stream of snot. THEN it progressed to a full blown, antifreeze colored green sticky snot. It plasters itself to the sides of her cheeks and dries to her face like a dried clay mask left on way too long. And yeah, I know...some parents talk about the texture, shape, and frequency of their kid's poop but not me!! I go for the more contemporary and cosmopolitan talk of facial mucous secretions (aka snot).
But today lil' wee one started screeching in pain when she would tried to nurse. Here was the pattern: suck, .14 seconds later...blood curdling scream, back arching, then calm. Then repeat! If I were to write this as a knitting pattern, I think it would look something like this:
Row 1: * k
Row 2: sl all sts
Row 3: drop all sts
Row 4: just frog it*
repeat from * if you feel brave
So this leads me to my blessings for today.
#1: A 35 minute total (yes, total!) trip to the urgent care clinic. That is from sign-in to walking out the door with a prescription. Yeah, I know. Must've been a blue moon!
and
#2: The sweet, orangey taste of penicillin! Thank you, Sir Alexander Fleming for discovering penicillin. I love you for discovering a drug that cures cellulitis, gonorrhea, meningitis, syphillis (ever see that Grey's Anatomy episode?), tonsilitis, and debately: ear infections.
How can I not love a drug that helps my daughter feel better and solves the syphilis outbreak on Grey's?!
Now, if only fresh episode of Grey's were out right now in conjunction with my daughter's improving health, then I'd really, really be blessed!
