ABBY IS SICK AGAIN!!

I promise I will post pictures very soon. It snowed on Sunday so I have some cute pics.

Abby is sick again! She has had some high fevers, lots of drool, coughing, and runny nose. I called to appt line to get in to see a doc but they didn't have any appts. I had to call Guy to get him to go down and get her an appt. While I was on the phone with the appt line I tried to schedule her one year well baby visit...They don't have any appts. I said what do you mean you don't have any appts...like ever or just that week. The lady on the phone said they just don't have anything for her. I hang up the phone and I am thinking so this is ridiculous. I hate the air force hospital. We are changing to an outside peds clinic after this experience. We went to the pediatrition yesterday to have her checked. To top it all off a third year med student examined her first, and he had the nerve to belittle me while my child is screaming. I was not happy but I said nothing. Abby's fevers were a real big concern. her temp at the pediatrition was 102.3 after she had been given motirn since 930 the night before. I just couldn't keep her temp down. They could not come up with a reason other than it was a virus. I have been giving her twice the dose of motrin every six hours and twice the dose of tylenol three hours after the motrin. I had to put her in the bath with luke warm water for 15min when we got home. That was the worst thing I have ever seen. I have never felt like such a mean mommy. She seems to feel better this morning and her temp is 100.4. They said they want her temp to stay around 100. I am crossing my fingers as the day goes on her temp will continue to come down.
