" It's a girl!"

Having a nurse for a parent isn't always a good thing ya know. Imagine having both parents nurses. Brian and I try to manage sick kids the best way we know how, pass everything off as a virus. Two winters ago Hunter was sick for over a week with really high fevers and fatigue, we both just thought it would pass. Come to find out he had walking pneumonia, he did get better with antibiotics the doctor prescibed. Then we left a new bottle of children's Motrin on top of the microwave and Hagan opened and drank the brand new bottle. When we called poison control I said "don't tell them we're nurses" the first thing out of his mouth was "yeah we're both nurses". After he hung up I said "better clean house social services will be here tomorrow." Needless to say Hagan was fine and SS never showed up. So after all our experience treating the kids ourselves I figured that Haven had something viral this week when she was walking around the house crying and screaming all day. Haven sleeps very well at night and she's been getting up during the night with fevers. So I decided to take her to the doctor today and make sure it wasn't her ears. We got good news and bad news, the good news is her ears are perfect, the bad news is there's no cure for what is really wrong with her. "It's a girl thang." yeah we can say it's a little virus maybe with the fever, but the walking around crying and screaming is all girl. Pray for us friends, it's going to be a long 18 plus years.
