Pooh and the Doctor

Pooh went to the doctor this morning. She's had a cough for 4-5 days and mommy wanted her seen.

Pooh is slightly over 34 pounds and slightly over 35 inches long. She'll be 21 months in two weeks.

Good thing we went to the doctor.

Pooh has
(a) congestion in one lung
(b) an infection moving into her ears
(c) a throat infection.
All this with no fever and no indication other than the cough of being sick.

She had
(a) her thumb pricked for blood
(b) her throat swabbed
(c) a thermometer where the sun never shines
(d) an x-ray and
(e) a breathing treatment
and she was not a happy camper.

We dropped off prescriptions and came home with a breathing machine and instructions on how to use it. Mommy can handle that over the weekend.

She's upstairs now with her brother and cousins acting like nothing ever happened. I know she's tired, but I have to drag her out again for the better part of the afternoon. Mommy will get a tired baby when she picks her up this evening.
