Conversations With Kaylin

I wasn't feeling so hot on Monday afternoon so I curled up on the couch under a blanket. Kaylin (my three year old) came up to me and felt my forehead:

Kaylin : Mummy Too Hot!

Me : *nodded my head*

Kaylin: Must I call your Daddy to come fetch you?

Me: *more nodding and smiling*

Kaylin : *gets on her imaginary telephone* (her hand to her ear) Hello? Hmmmm...Mummy's Sick! Can you come and fetch her?

Kaylin to me : Your Daddy's coming to fetch you and take you to da docta. Okay?

Me : Thank you, Kaylin.

How kewt is she?

I wish! No one seems to take care of us Mummys when we're ill. We just have to carry on regardless. Lets hope I don't have Swine Flu!!

Got the dreaded call from Kaylin's School to say she has a fever of 38 and has been coughing non stop since lunch time. Yes, she was coughing a little in her sleep last night but she slept like a rock from 7:45 until 6:30 this morning.

I phoned my GP only to be told that he's on leave and the other doctor's are full booked. Fekkin' doctors...

I drove around our area trying to find a doctor and I got an appointment with a Dr Styl (a lady doctor) at 4:15pm yesterday. She was very nice, gave Kaylin the once over, weighed her, listened to her chest, looked in her throat and ears, took her temperature and declared that she has very red ears. She has bilateral ear infection and is on 7 days of antibiotics.

No wonder KK was complaining that she had "sand in her ears". Poor wee thing.

And I thought it was just a bit of a cold.
