We went to the doctor on Friday, well Sophia did, and I was informed she has a "case of the yuckies." I would like to know exactly what those are and why they haven't left her body yet. I would be okay with that diagnosis IF she still weren't getting fevers every time the fever reducer wore off. As far as the diarrhea goes, it's almost gone at least the really watery stuff (TMI I know), but she is still complaining about her tummy hurting. She has hardly eaten, which is freaking me out now. At this point I KNOW she would feel better (her tummy at least) if she would eat. She takes very little bits of food at every meal, enough to keep her alive basically. I am so tired of this. She is whinny and lies around all day when the fever reducer wears off and is kicking in. When it has kicked in she bounces around like a kangaroo. I am fresh out of sympathy at this point, although truth be told I never had much of it to start with. I know she is sick, I can see it, but if she won't do what will make her feel better I refuse to feel sorry for her anymore. Harsh probably, but that's how my mom was with us too.
I am hoping to take her to her regular doctor tomorrow. She is much more cautious than the b*tch we saw on Friday. She looked at her for five minutes and kicked us out. I am not pleased, fevers don't stay around for this long unless something is wrong, it's almost been a week. When we saw the doctor it had been three nights of constant fevers. I am hating being alone this weekend. :(

The yuckies, eh? That sounds very official! Why haven't they made up a vaccine for it yet? :P
If only....
Emma has had the same cold for 2 weeks now and it is really getting on my nerves. She's been on two kinds of antibiotics and it just won't go away.
Is this a case of the yuckies?
dammit that sucks. for all of you. i feel bad for sophia for not feeling well and being afraid or whatever and not eating and for you to have to deal with a sick child that won't do what will make her feel better and a stupid ass doctor and also the other three children you have all while doing it as a single parent. :( that bites.
i'm sorry i wish i had something better to say to you. i do feel your pain and could NOT imagine what it is like. i dread bryan being gone all day working his regular job and then going to the new house before coming home and me having to do everything with the kids on my own. i know not the same situation that is why i feel for you.
i hope when you take her to the drs they tell you something better. i know one time trevor had a terrible fever and he was breathing strange so we took him to urgent care, and they said his oxygen level was a little low so they gave him a breathing treatment and told us the fever was a virus so he will probably have it for a week to ten days... he had it for 11, and when I called his regular ped she said the same thing... i was so annoyed. i wanted to know what kind of virus and why he was having temps that were 103 +. they never did tell me. thank goodness he was okay. but it was a LONG 11 days.. he wouldn't really eat well, he was lathargic when the meds were wearing off or just getting started in his system and would be like a lunatic when he was all doped up...but I also didn't want to keep giving him meds... ugh. but anyway... i hope that she is doing better soon and you get a break. ;)
