Today I slept in, took a long nap after I put clean sheets on my
bed, and woke up feeling slightly drunk and hungover even though I was
sober. Yesterday we found out that Jane has pneumonia so that meant a
trip to the hospital, another to the pharmacy, I bought grape Popsicles
for her at her request, her pediatrician said not to worry about her
lack of appetitie, and that fluids were more important than solids so I
stocked up on juice, and bought her a burger at the hospital cafeteria
since that's what she wanted. I picked up a small bottle of a
Respiratory Cough essential oil blend. I really like the way that it
smells, the girls complain about it, but they both stood in the bathroom
with the shower running and a few drops in the pooling water.
This summer I switched to a pediatrician in town. I'm going to switch
back to the one we had previously, just because I feel like she
understands me better. She said she would have seen Jane on Thursday, a
NP was on call so we saw her instead. I don't think she did a bad job,
but I did suspect pneumonia then, and I wonder if maybe it would have
been caught earlier had someone else evaluated Jane. Perhaps not though.
It's hard to tell, and I'm not going to stress myself out by second
guessing what could have happened. So I'm going to keep this brief
because I'm still very tired. A lot of new changes, most of them for the
better, and I can't keep worrying about the future, I have to enjoy the
hear and now, and take good care of myself so I can take better care of
others, like Jane.
