I thought about friending Dan on Facebook so that I could message him. I think I'll do that.
I keep thinking that if anything truly awful happened, that he knows how to get in touch with us, and would, so I should just chill. I have to work at that, unfortunately.
JZ, just wanted to say that I empathize. Ellie had an abscess at the age of 3 that was right near her optic nerve and scared me a lot. She spent 8 days in the hospital on IV ABs. I tally thought that if we had been in the US they could have done shots or a daily IV. Which sounds bad itself but at least that way you know she is getting the medicine in the system. I'm glad you guys are going back
amyth, I don't know anything about Strix, but don't feel bad about worrying and asking. I personally hate the asking because I always feel awkward but I would tell anyone else in a heartbeat not to feel that way.
I am at a weekend conference for family law attorneys. It's been weird and interesting but I probably can't talk about it. Let's just say that I've learned a lot and it hasn't all been legal.
Hi Laura!! Good to see your pixels.
Just tried to call Strix again, went to voicemail again. Hrmph.
My poor wife, my poor little boo.
I really can't imagine a less desirable combination than an emergency dental situation with my child involving vomitous antibiotics with an added plumbing issue (in our computer area, btw).
I, on the other hand, am having a lovely time in Pittsburgh with my oldest friends, attending a beautiful wedding by the Allegheny River and off to see a PIrates game today.
But I'll be home soon, honey! I'll do the Eat The Yucky Medicine Game with Matilda.
Strix is OKAY!
Phone has been dead, she's been working on a deadline, just texted smonster...will be in touch...phew!
Strix is fine! Phone was dead, she was v. busy, computer wonky. All is well.
eta xpost!
And I am going to go walk Calli's cat and pretend like I never worried at all. These are not the droids you're looking for.
Oh, and thank you smonster, as ever.
Aaaand... she just wet the bed. Our big bed. JIMINY CHRISTMAS, UNIVERSE. Stop sending the ducks; I am well and truly nibbled.
Heading back up to urgent care at 10, because the advice nurse thinks they may be able to give her a shot instead of the oral stuff. But first, clearing out our nerdhole, since my mom pointed out that the busted pipe is in a really inaccessible spot and there's no way the maintenance guy will be able to get at it unless the desk and computer are out of the way.
