Kids are alot like cars. You take them in to the doc's and, suddenly, they aren't making that pinging sound anymore. B has had an allergic reaction to something and we have been mucking about with the Benadryl and Claritin all week. So, I think he might need a shot of steroids or a medrol dose pack to really give it the boot. However, when I pick him up from school to take him to the doc's, there isn't a rash to be seen anywhere. I take him anyway, "I promise it was there". But, basically it was a wasted trip and that I should keep doing what I am doing. I guess you can't treat what isn't there. What happens next? Oh, I am sure you can guess. He wakes up this am covered....again. Gah!

I am feeling a wee bit yucky myself, the sore throat cough sort of thing. A twelve hour night is a long time when you aren't feeling 100%. That, and I will be working with the King of all Jackasses in the ER. Bah! I should meditate before going in. Maybe I will just drink more coffee instead.

And I must welcome dombede to the LJ fold!

You are sooo right re kids and cars. I've made those wasted trips myself. What's worse is wasting someone else's time and my own because I can't drive. GADS! I hope you are feeling okay and I wish you good vibes against the jackass.

Yes! And thank goodness for a really good co-pay. Thanks, I will need all the good vibes I can get so that I don't throttle him before the shift is over. I try to deflect with humour but I sense he and I are going really butt heads before too long.
