Day 284 - In sickness and health

No I am not talking about TH, I am talking about little T.  She has had a fever the last few days, and having never had children and all, I haven't a clue when a child is sick.  Maybe her grumpiness should have given me a clue, but hey she is always grumpy so I overlooked that.  Maybe her not wanting to eat would have been a clue, but she doesn't eat anything but junk food, so I overlooked that.  So maybe putting the thermometer in her mouth would have been a clue, but how did she make it go up so high?

Then it was I am sick I need to go to urgent care.  What the Hell is urgent care?  I have never been to urgent care in my life.  Our mom never took us to the doctor unless we had been sick for a month or so, and never took us to the doctor for a fever or cold.  In fact I don't recall but two times going to the doctor because I was sick.    Once at my sisters graduation, once in high school where they found that I had bronchitis, but there was nothing they could do about it.

So I was horrified that she was really sick telling me she had to go to urgent care.  Panicked I called her mom, who conferred with her dad who said if she wasn't coughing she would be fine.  But still she insisted that she needed to go to Urgent Care.

Finally I asked her why?  And she said they will give me medicine that will make me better.  We didn't go to Urgent Care, and I gave her medicine that made her better - aspirin.
