Is Something In The Air?

I just recovered from lack of sleep since Sunday night. It's been a very stressful two nights. My daughter who can be so dramatic developed a high fever Sunday afternoon and what a mother I am by just treating it with Tylenol. Well, the fever never went lower than 101. When your child complains of having neck pain and sensitivity to light along with a high fever, any worried parent would panic. I did! That's ok even if the only public hospital will charge you $483. 72 for two teaspoonfuls of Tylenol #3, some drawn blood and a shot of the famous fast-acting antibiotic, Rocephin. I must've been that tired yesterday afternoon because I was supposed to call back my pediatrician around 4 before his office closed. I didn't because I was in snoozeville. He called me. I felt so bad because he must've waited for my call. He just might charge me more next time! Well, I have taken sick leave for my daughter and tomorrow I will be taking off again for my mother's doctor's appointment. I am going to top Cef's big number of absences this semester. Ha!

Lucille,

I hope your daughter is feeling better. As a mother, I know how uneasy you are feeling. Simply provide me with your doctor's excuse, and all will be good.

Be sure to get notes from Kate and Cef, because important notes regarding the QRI were discussed. Relay the message to your sister as well.

Next week marks our first assessment session, so prep yourself! Thank you for assisting your classmates with the tutees.

Take good care of the family, and keep us posted.

Best regards,
Dr. Rivera

I think I need to have a child to get away with things this semester. Darn it!

I hope your daughter is on the mend Lucille. Those high fevers can be scary and usually effect us more than our kids.

Hope you are able to get some good solid sleep this weekend, you deserve it!
