Ruthie's First Sick Dr's Visit


Last Wednesday afternoon I noticed that Ruthie's forehead had red splotches on it. I took her temperature and it was 100.4, so I panicked and checked it 4 more times with the same result. ha ha! However, she had no other symptoms. I gave her Tylenol and it went away. We continued this routine until Thursday morning. I assumed it was maybe caused from teething because she was not fussy and still no other symptoms. I called the Dr and they told me that they would like for her to come in just in case because of all the stuff that is going around right now. So, me and her supporting army loaded up and went to the Dr. They did blood work and said she definitely had something viral, but everything looked good. Just to treat the temperature. As you might know, the temperature had broke by the time we made it to the Dr and has yet to return. So I can't really say she was sick, but none the less we had our first visit that required the co-pay. I took a pic of her with her orange band aid from the finger stick for blood work when we got home. I was amazed at her with that as well. She didn't even flinch, not one squeal or cry. She is much tougher than me. She just watched the nurse the entire time she was squeezing her finger like "why are you doing that"

I wish we lived closer, so they could be friends.
