Here are the ingredients you need to have a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day:

1.) Have 3 yr. old wake up up with a 105 F temperature
2.) Give tylenol
3.) Have 3 yr. old wake 2 hours later with a temp back up to 105.4 F
4.) Call pediatrician after dropping 6 yr. old off at school.
5.) Pediatrician is out for the week
6.) We are told to go to the ER
7.) Go to ER
8.) Get to ER crowded with people wanting pain medicine. Is your wrist hurting really an emergency? I don’t think so. Grrrrr…..
9.) 3 yr. old gets put into a room near several patients infested with lice. OMG. Freakin out.
10.) People wanting drugs on the other side. Total nightmare.
11.) 3 yr. old has ear infection. Yes, we already suspected that. We just need antibiotics.
12.) Get home, give medicine.
13.) 3 yr. old pukes medicine. He is allergic to it.
14.) Call ER for new medicine. They don’t seem to comprehend our son’s allergies & condition. This does not surprise me!
15.) Call pharmacy. No new medicine to pick up.
16.) Pharmacy ready to close, call ER again about new medicine.
17.) Finally get new medicine a few minutes before pharmacy closes.
18.)Takes meds, all is well until temp spikes back up!
19.)Temp down, goes to sleep
20. The terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day is OVER.

Thankfully the antibiotics have kicked in and our son is doing better today.
