And the hits just keep on coming

We kept Boo overnight since Bugs had a "late" schedule, and it wouldn't make sense to pick up the little squirt at 1 or 2 in the morning only to turn around at 9am again and bring her back.

We had a successful evening, with a good dinner, watching Wheel and Joepardy (She needs to do her Jeopardy dance at the end). Went to bed at eight and pretty much slept through the night. Woke us up with a cheerful: Morninggggg! at 7am.

Still coughing too much in my opinion I suggested Bugs she call the pediatrician. She got an appointment right away this afternoon at three.
And guess what. Medicaid kicks in big time. No charge for the Doc. No charge for the nebulizer. (I'm not sure if she has to pay for the meds yet)

So Bugs came home between shifts yesterday to show me her "bug bite" Since she couldn't reach to see it. Considering where it's located. Umm...on her backside...kind of...ummm...hidden...

It looked like more than a bug bite to me, so she decided to ask Boo's doc about it. Of course the doc couldn't do anything, but she told her that she should see her own doc, as it sounded like a staff infection.
The spot was now a ring of purple tiny blisters and hurt like a sob.

She stopped by Dr. Tim, and he diagnosed SHINGLES. Gave her a scrip for two antibiotics.
He was pleased to see that she gained three pounds, and looked SO much better.

He told her she caught it very early, and was confident it wouldn't spread. God, I hope so. My mom had shingles and it was extremely painful and lasted for months.

In the meantime, Boo is back on her Penguin Nebulizer three times a day, and got a prescription for Claritin. It might be an allergy. (Might be? Can't they test her for allergies?)

Anyway.........nothing earth shattering, I guess. Bugs is taking it all very well, and calmly.

Did you know that a Daycare center cannot (and will not) tell you the name of a child who BIT your child? They have to report it for their records and you have to sign it, but they won't tell you who did the dirty deed.

Of course Boo blew the whole thing by stating in a loud voice: ABIGAIL BIT ME!

*LOL*

Nice set of chompers on her little arm, but no skin broken.

I asked the teacher: Did she bite her back, I hope? It was a joke, but the teacher looked at me funny.

I know, not a very pedagogic thing to day, but hey.

SGMKJ!
